Comic Company Manager
1.0.0.3 - Very early version of Godot 4 port to beta branch
Most basic mechanics should work but UI and visuals are not yet completely moved to new version of the engine.
I don't recommend trying it unless you are really curious.
I will continue updating this version on beta branch until its ready to be the new main version of the game
Update On Game
There seems to be crashes happening for some users. Unfortunately I have not been able to replicate the issue on any of my test machines. This has made fixing the issue very hard. I have been working on it but have made no significant progress. So I again have to ask for people with the crash issues to contact me either by email at Substandardshrimp@gmail.com or join the discord and contact me there https://discord.gg/ScmKqdb44A
My other plan is that since Godot just released 4.0 version I have decided to port the game to that. This should improve performance and maybe do something about the crashes. This porting is progressing fairly well and I should get a first version out on experimental branch this week.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
1.0.0.1 Hotfix
Comic Company Manager is now out of Early Access!
I have reached all the feature goals I set for myself at the start of development. It took a little longer than I had intended originally but I’m glad to have managed to get it all done
I want to thank everyone who helped me find bugs and give feedback. You have helped me a great deal! Just seeing people play my game has motivated me a lot.
As for the future of the game after this all I can say is that I am not done. There are many things I want to do. First amongst them is the overhaul of the printing system that I am not happy with currently. Also I am sure there are still things that need fixing. I do have several ideas for expanding on many other systems and adding others
