New Features

• Required Clothes: We got a lot of requests for this one. Required clothes for each job in the Job Office are now shown.
  
• Work XP: This one has also been requested a lot. Your current Work Experience is now shown in the info window (accessible by pressing Tab or clicking the player portrait).
  

New Network Features

• New Server Provider: Because we swapped server providers you will need to have this version or newer to play online games. Make sure you are running version 0.9.8 or higher (visible in the bottom left of the game window). We'll shut down the old service soon.
  
• Game is Full: Fixed the "Game is Full" bug!
  
• Many minor bugs: We fixed a bunch of small annoying bugs (like if you accepted an invite to a lobby while in another lobby you couldn't join it)
  
• Smart Adjustment: If any network messages get dropped or corrupted the game will try and re-adjust. This might mean that one round looks to be out of wack but the player should sync and update him/her-self correctly.
  
• Other bugs: We probably fixed a bunch of online game bugs we didn't know about!
  
• Faster Server: Connecting to the servers should be snappier now (in fact we found a few bugs we didn't know about because of this...).
  
• Same Version: Players now need to have the same version of the game as the game's host. Because of the game's rapid development it's way to easy to run into problems if players with different versions run into each other.
  
• University bug: Fixed a bug where if a Player exits the university in multiplayer with the enroll dialog open the game would go haywire.
  
• Syncing: Fixed a bunch of sync bugs.
  

Future Possibilities

Upcoming

• German: If all goes well you'll be able to play the game in German before the end of this week.
  
• Pets v0.1: Our art department has been drawing away for the past weeks while the programmers wrote network code. We'll be rolling out pets in iterative steps.
  
• Soundtrack: We got some requests for the soundtrack and we will upload it soon.
  

Known Bugs

• Network: We have tested the new network system a lot internally. We also got our community to try it out and didn't receive any complaints. That said there might still be little sneaky bugs there. If you run into any, please let us know!

• Required clothes for jobs shown in Job Office

Fixes

• Money for clothes against CPU: You should only have to wait 1-2 weeks to receive some money for new clothes if you are naked and poor. We finally found the bug that could cause you to have to wait for much much longer when competing against the CPU. So now you can also have kind old aunts. (Special thanks to Simpleton Fox over on our Discord for giving us the clue to finding this bug).
  
• Game is Full: We found the bug that would cause you to get Game is Full message when inviting friends to a private game and fixed it. We are still working hard on squashing all multiplayer bugs.
  
• Score Screen: The score screen could behave in some weird manners if you left it while other players where still there. This should be fixed now. Now you get a pop up telling you that Player X left. We'll redo this in the future.
  

New Features

• Marathon Mode: This is our first iteration of an even longer game than the current Long game. It’s not week limited and the score required to finish has been increased. It should take around 45-65 weeks to finish a game.
  
• New Weekend Cards: We added 98 new Weekend Event cards (with 33 new illustrations). We’ll continue to add more of these!
  
  
• Network Heart Beat: We’ve added a network heart beat to online games. Each other player's portrait now has a little green dot that turns red if the player is lagging or temporarily disconnects from the game.
  

Fixes & Tweaks

• Resolution Dialog: We are still trying to make the game appear perfectly on all the different screens in all the lands. We got some reports where players were having problems with the resolution. We are currently working on getting this to work automatically and seamless. Until then we have to following solution:
  
  When launching the game in Steam you can hold down the ALT key. This will launch a window that allows you to choose the game’s resolution before the game launches.
  
  
• Quitting online games: Quitting an online game could break it for the other players should they want to continue. We fixed this!
  
• Online Sync Issues: There where some sync issues where the game would just stop responding in multiplayer. We added some safety checks and believe we've fixed this issue. We’ll continue to monitor this issue in case it is still a problem.
  
• Job Tweaking: We tweaked the requirements and salaries for some of the jobs. We’ll continue to do so to balance the different buildings.
  
• Money for Clothes: We finally (and hopefully) discovered the bug that was causing players not to receive enough money to buy clothes when they ended up naked with no money. You should only have to wait for one week until you get some money from your aunt.
  But now if you don’t spend that money on clothes, you’ll have to wait for another week until you get more money.
  
• Minor Tweaks: A bunch of small things like changing Mr. CPU's color to Turkish.
  

Upcoming

• Network Stability & Polish: While we gather feedback on the new Marathon mode we're going to be working hard on getting Network Games more stable and adding some features. We're going to look into adding the ability to kick unresponsive players.
  
• Marathon Games: We're going to continue to work on getting Marathon games more varied and different.
  

Known Bugs

• Different Game Versions: At the moment we're not sorting out games by the Host's game version. This means players could possibly have different versions of the game. This can and will break the game. We plan to publish a Hot Fix for this as soon as we've have it working correctly.
  

Fixes

• Moved Syncing Indicator
  
• Fixed a bug that could sometimes show the wrong avatar picture on the final winning screen
  

New Features

• The Robot: A new in-game character we talked about in last update has been added. It's the default computer character in single player games. Also you can select The Robot as your own Avatar in Multiplayer games!
  
• Emoji Messaging System: In multiplayer games, you can now "talk" to other players with an Emoji system. As of yet, there are 3 emoji types, positive, neutral and negative. We hope you will have fun with the new system :)
  
• Multiplayer Names: Player names have been added to each "Player Widget" in Multiplayer games. This clarifies better where you are in the player queue.
  

Fixes

• Players leaving multiplayer: Sometimes when other players left multiplayer, your own character could get stuck in a frozen state. Now when other players leave, you should be able to keep playing if you want.
  
• Smaller fixes: As always we try to fix little things we find on the way and we do cleanups on the code for future features. With new features and cleanups there are sometimes hidden bugs that a small team like ours miss. Please let us know if you find anything not working correctly ;)
  

Upcoming

• Marathon Mode: People have been asking us both through the Steam Community and emails if we are going to add an Endless Mode to the game. That has always been in our plans but we have still yet to finalize our plans on how it will work. And we would love to get your feedback on how you would like it to work!
  

Fixes

• Selecting buttons in menus with controller sometimes failing.
