DevLog #04 - New UI and accessibility
New UI for Accessibility
As part of our commitment to inclusivity, we have implemented a new user interface (UI) for Ad Agency Tycoon that focuses on simplicity and accessibility, particularly for colorblind players. We understand the importance of making our game accessible to as many players as possible, and we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the game regardless of their visual abilities.
Our new UI features a color palette that is designed to be easily distinguishable for players with colorblindness. We have taken into consideration different types of colorblindness, such as red-green and blue-yellow colorblindness, and made sure that the UI elements are clearly visible and distinguishable without relying solely on color. We have also made sure that text and icons are easily readable, and that the overall design is clean and uncluttered for a seamless user experience.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch of Ad Agency Tycoon. We can't wait for you to experience the thrill of running your own advertising agency and creating successful marketing campaigns. Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey, and we look forward to seeing you in the game!
Ad Agency Tycoon v0.6.1
We've come to bring an update to the game that will help us speed up the pace of development. It is an update focused on bug fixes and optimizations. We migrated to the latest version of Unity, which will help us have new development tools.
The main intention of this update is to allow us to re-develop the game at the pace of previous years, leading us to new mechanics and functionality.
- New Sans Serif font standard
- Reduced disk usage
- Performance improvements
- Fixes dozens of bugs
Ad Agency Tycoon v0.6
Since our last DevLog, we've changed a lot in Ad Agency Tycoon. Lots of basic mechanics, things that have stayed the same since the initial release of Early Access. But once we're done with these changes, we ask ourselves: Are there any others that deserve a little more attention?
In addition to the ad creation system, many elements of the game needed tweaking. Employees. The customizations. Some annoying bugs that have been with us for a while.
So we spent the last 4 months fixing the vast majority of bugs, changing basic mechanics, and everything to turn Ad Agency Tycoon into a new game. A new game for those who thought we needed changes, but also the same game for those who liked the way it was.
Ad Agency Tycoon v0.6 is the first of a long step in restructuring the game, so that we can finally move on to the final release version. We hope you like it.
List of changes:
- Skill Tree are now Advertising Elements
- No more employees needed for the old skill system!

- No need to advertise in stages anymore

DevLog #03 - "This game is repetitive"
We're making the biggest changes in Ad Agency Tycoon history. But to explain what changes we are making, we first have to explain why we are making them.
We are always reading Ad Agency Tycoon reviews and refund reasons, and by far the most complaints are about "this game is repetitive". Every new update, we add new tools and gameplay so that players can have new possibilities for paths to follow. But we never realized that, even with new paths within the game, the first step is always freelance advertising. And in nearly two years of Early Access, we've never touched the game's foundation, thinking it was good enough.
We were wrong.
As soon as SimFest was over, we discussed what we could implement again, but we ended up coming to the conclusion that we should review the base of the game. And that's what we're doing.
We are working on something that we haven't changed in years, and we believe that the game will become much more fluid and dynamic, with the true opening of new paths for the player, not requiring that the first step always be in freelance advertisements.
We won't say much more about what's new, but we will show you what will change in what already exists. Expect an update soon. Until then, give feedback, join our Discord and participate in our community!
