Happy new year! We have a few fun new changes to the game today.
Added Angle Templates- These are templates which can be used on the booking screen to create complex angles with titles and descriptions very easily. They are fully moddable, importable and editable. For the sake of getting the update out ASAP there is only a few default ones in there for now, but the hope is that the default list grows as time goes on!
Updates various styles across the app
Added active storylines list to booking screen, for easy reference
Added Romantic story beat
Added Staredown story beat
Added contract signing story beat
Contract offers in the news will now say if the offer is exclusive or not
Added fix to prevent news items from the future appearing too early
Added fix to saving when new databases are created
Separated Historical and current accolades
Accolades are hidden if a worker has none
Added successful save message to edit screens
Added Minimal Vs. Detailed option for booking screen, where minimal takes up less room while Detailed shows descriptions etc.
Added panel border, panel radius, and panel shadow options to skin file
Update Notes Nov 19th - Improved Game Editing Experience!
Merged all promotion-specific screens (except Titles - that will probably come soon) into the Promotions screen, so you can edit everything in a single location! I will probably make a few more tweaks to the editor as time goes by, to try to make it as simple to use as possible.
Promotion Wars - Each Monday, rival promotions will be compared in a variety of topics, and the loser will take a hit to their popularity
Added stats to My Title screen to show the youngest/oldest champions and longest/shortest reigns
Added Steam Achievements into the game
Added Stable Images
Added random chance each day that an indy wrestling event will occur. This is so that workers not signed to contracts can get some bookings in-game
Updated style for tabs

Added ability to upload skins to the workshop
Fixed bug where logos would disappear after entering the editor
Added ability to load in skin specific game backgrounds and image backgrounds by appending the name of the skin to them. e.g. If I have a skin called skinname.json, I can use Background_skinname.png or ImageBackground_skinname.png
Fixed bug where inactive promotions could make counter offers
Small performance improvements to News feed
Release Notes 2 Aug 2023 - Workshop Support Added!
Hi all, after a lot of work, I'm happy to announce the game now has workshop support! You can subscribe to workshop mods using the Workshop section of the Game in Steam. (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1157700/workshop/)
Subscribing to a workshop item will download it to your computer, where you can easily use it by going to New Game and selecting the Workshop tab.
To upload Game Worlds and/or Image Folders using the Workshop link on the main page of the game, and select your .db file and/or your image folder. Give it a name, a description and an image and you're done!
Please note that Workshop files and folders cannot be modified (your changes would get wiped out every update), and so there is a "Copy to Local Files" button in the workshop section, so you can copy the file locally to edit as you please.
I hope you enjoy, and please let me know if you come into any issues.
Update Notes 10 July 2023
