I'm still trucking along! The steam launch came and went without much fanfare or excitement, so my current plan is to try to wrap up features I WANTED to get into the launch but ran out of time to do. Unfortunately, that means once my to-do list is complete updates will probably slow down until they end - but I''ll keep riding that dev train until then!
WHATS NEW
You can now change the screen resolution of the game. I've also added support for several wide screen formats
You can now hide the mini-map colors
The various menus now have keyboard hot keys
Fixed some bugs related to the tool tips
Fixed some bugs with the screen scrolling
Fixed a crash related to text input.
Version 21 is now LIVE!
First feature update since game launch! Thank you for everyone who has been playing, spreading the game, and giving their valuable feedback! Here's...
What's New
You can now generate a custom covid strain!
Covid strain stats is now fully randomized when you mutate it in game
You can now select what kind of masks employees use at the start
The mouse will now move the screen
Mask/vaccine mandates are their own menu
Mandates now have a more extreme pro/anti vax split
Gave more of an indication where you can add signs
Workers will take on/off their masks on their own
The little videos that pop up now have an "X" button
Fixed a bug where long covid was being assigned immediately instead of after covid has
taken its course
Fixed a bug where some pop up animations weren't playing
Variant 20C is Live
Just a few quick odds and ends that I wanted to clear up really quickly
Fixed a bug causing a crash on startup
Fixed a bug with some non-US computers and the way files are formatted
Ultrawide monitors should display properly now
you can set the game in windowed mode now if you'd like (custom resolution coming soon though)
Added "long covid" tracking on the stat bar (this is ANY long term covid symptom which will last beyond the infection itself. Most will eventually recover, some wont)
fixed some typos
You can now use symbols when naming characters
I've received a LOT of feedback and ideas on twitter, various forums, discord, and here. Don't worry, I've heard you! I just want to make sure some of the small things that are bogging people down gets cleared up quickly first.
