0.9.3 - More Options For Comic Creation
This update adds option for limited series and black and white comics. Also some other small changes
Main UI change is that instead of blasting alerts to middle of your screen, they now show up bottom rights of the screen and you can view old alerts and messages in menu opened from there.
Black And White Comics
You can choose to make comics black and white. This allows you to save on printing and work. Black and white comics lack the coloring phase and do not need a colorist. Coloring is also not calculated in printing costs.
Drawback for black and white comics is that they are less appealing to most readers and tend to sell less
Limited Series
Series length option lets you make a limited series that automatically ends after selected amount of issues. This kind of series has some advantages and disadvantages.
Advantage is that the comic will get automatic fame bonus based on the company size. Even with tiny company this bonus is more than starting a normal comic.
Disadvantages for this kind of comic are that they will never increase their fame. Fame of franchise, workers and company will however increase like in normal comics. Also if you cancel the comic before it reaches the amount of issues planned at the creation of the comic, you will receive a fame penalty to your company.
Longer limited series has both higher advantages and disadvantages

0.9.2 - Work Update
This update took a long time to do. Mostly it was due to not development related things so I'm sorry for the delay
Main goal of this update is to change on workers do their work. In this new system workers create all parts of separately over the weeks as opposed to old system where comic was just created when it was time to publish it.
New workflow is following: First writer creates a script for the comic, then penciler does the base art, next up is inker and last work to be done is the colors. Workers cannot work on their tasks if the previous task is not done. Once the comic issue is done it goes into storage to be ready for publishing for when its release date comes. This way you can create comic issues in advance of publishing if your workers are fast enough.
Workers also now need to take breaks. They will need to go a place like coffee station to take their break. If you have none in your own offices they will use the one in the hallway. Workers must be at a correct work station to do their work.
Also since to limit how many comics workers were able to do at once, an energy system was used. New way comics are created eliminates the need for this, so energy system is removed from player workers. Also energy giving furniture now speeds up the workers instead of giving energy recovery
Default publishing schedule is once a month. Being late will give you a fame penalty. In future I will be adding an option to decide how often you want to publish a comic
Workers sometimes still seem to be channeling Kitty Pryde and walking trough walls. I'm working on it
