Update Notes 9 June 2025 - Random Event Generator!
The major feature added to the game here is the Random Event Generator, which basically allows you to create custom random events for your game world which can impact workers and the game world as a whole. In the future, this will be fleshed out even further, allowing for other random events and effects to happen.
I want to shout out a few great mod makers in the workshop who have been using the public beta to create a whole heap of random events, which are all easily imported into existing saves and game worlds via the in-game editor:
Random Events Pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3484902651
Anything Can Happen: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485483384
Aceverse Random Events Pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485742300
Having tried these out in some mods, they really add a ton of life to the game world.
Other new changes:
Added Venue Importer to editor
Added Promotion importer to editor
Added Titles importer to editor
Titles will go from inactive to active on their creation date
Relationships wont appear for workers that haven't debuted yet

Update Notes Nov 27 2024
This continues the work to try to paint a more accurate Japanese wrestling world, but there's also some stuff in here that should be usable for promotions of all kinds.
Added option in Events for a new event type - Tours
You can now set preferred Continents/Countries/Regions/Venues for an event (e.g. you can now tell the game Crown Jewel should run in Saudi Arabia, or plan out every location in an upcoming tour)
News now posts title changes as individual news stories, to try to paint a better, more alive world
Added support for Highlight Show Network Deals, where the network just shows highlight footage from the company
Added Prev/Next buttons to toggle between months when selecting dates for Tours and Specific Date events
Added ability for events with specific dates to repeat annually
AI Events will occur in different regions within a user's home country once they reach Cult level, rather than just always being in their home location
News now shows the region a show was in inside the show recap post
Added quick skip buttons on the Progress Days menu, so you can quickly skip 1 week/month/year
Added ability to include injured workers in prebookings in the future
Added AI Logic options on shows, where a show can be defined as Normal or Japanese Tour Show (mostly 6-man and 8-man tag matches)

Update Notes 12 Aug 2024 - Contract Rewrite!
A long awaited, long requested addition today - The game now has added a much deeper contract system! I recommend going to Edit Database > Helpful Scripts > Auto Set All Contracts if you're seeing promotions suddenly making a lot more money, as this new setup does change the financial balance a fair bit.
Contracts are no longer instantaneous for Written contracts, instead a worker will consider and await other offers first, before settling a contract
Workers can now ask for both a monthly wage and a wage per appearance
PPA deals are now 'Informal Agreements', to reflect the indy scene more
Workers can now ask for a share of the attendance gate, a share of the PPV buys, a share of their merch sales, and limited appearances per year
Promotions can allow a worker to take Indy bookings, where they can work for local or regional promotions while still under a written contract
Added Worker filters for In Ring Traits, Personality Traits, and birthplaces
Added ability to set and save custom filters for Workers screen, so you can quickly pull up common searches
All Workers search now also checks contract names and alter ego names
Added Mentorship relationship type
Added optional freetext field where mod makers can write a description for a relationship, to flesh out the game world
Moved Momentum and Morale to be next to each other
Added ability to set segment times with buttons and not just sliders
Added ability to alter the segment length of matches from the booking overview screen
Added ability to alter the length of beats from the angle booking screen
Altered Promotional Wars so they only start at 45 Pop for cult promotions
Fixed bug where autobooker could sometimes book broken segments
Fixed bug where events with multiple days might only trigger on one of the days
Fixed bug where people in stable could be added to an angle multiple times
Fixed bug where people could be booked before their contract started
Update Notes - 10 June 2024
Added Momentum to the game. Momentum is impacted by angles, storylines and wins/losses, and has an effect on match ratings as well as how much popularity a person can gain.
Changed the look and feel of the game's navigation pretty significantly - now the game uses a left navigation rather than a top pulldown, allowing you to see everything and click around with less clicks and more visibility into your options.
Storylines ending now effect momentum and morale (positively or negatively), and effect's each worker's popularity differently.
Added momentum as an effect on crowd reaction in angles and matches.
Added "Sandbox Mode" game option on New Game screen - a mode where a user can hire anyone regardless of contract, and not have to worry about money, morale, show scores, injuries etc. A mode essentially for fantasy bookers/people using the game as an organisational device.
Update Notes - 5 May 2024 - In depth Finish selection!
Updated booking screen options so that you can now select specific finishes
Added default finishes for many match types to save modmakers some time
Added properties for each finish that determine whether the crowd will like it, whether the loser will like it, whether it will hurt match quality, and whether it can cause a title change
Organised match modifiers on match edit page in alpha order
Added search to Match Gimmicks on booking screen
Added search to gimmicks on Change Character screen
Added option to change brands from the My Workers screen
Added Celebration angle beat
Set promotion tag name to match tag team default name when adding new promotion tag teams
Added unassign all from brands button on brands page
