Manager Training Beginnings, Entrepreneurs, and much more!
This update took much longer than expected due to external reasons, but here we are!
The main focus of this update is the Manager Training system, which introduces Entrepreneurs.
This will act as the basis for lots of future late-game content. Much will stem off of this, future content is much easier to add with all of this in place.
Some Entrepreneur Explanation will be at the bottom of this post (if you're interested)
Additions
* Manager Rework (Fixed many of their interactions with related buffs, added traits, and more.)
* Manager Training Area, unlockable at the top of the managers hiring screen.
* Entrepreneurs (occurs when you fully train a manager, and enter a rift.)
* Added a couple of new research nodes (holy-thread gainable cap increaser & boost duration)
* Added more value to the Holy Thread IAP packages. (tokens)
* Started adding loads of statistic tracking for future content plans.
Changes
* Holy thread drop changes. (This now scales with the rug tier, making it much rarer to receive it from lower-tier rugs.)
* Loads of small tweaks.
* Performance increases.
Fixes
* Fixed many manager interactions (loved managers, cheaper costs, updating of prices, etc.)
* Fixed how certain upgrades would give improper rewards
* Fixed all issues with the white square glipbop crafting.
* Loads and loads of bug-fixes.
Upcoming content updates
* Galaxy rug rework (create your own rug)
* Peer-trading
* Fuel for robots (making them costly)
* Entrepreneur Statistics & Self-leveling
* Extreme QOL
* Playtime-drops.
* Changing the entire gameplay to be more management-focused for the late-late game.
* Special big-ballers Shop (Mainly holy thread), which will withhold incredibly powerful account-wide boosts.
Some Entrepreneur Info :
This system will evolve as time goes on.
The goal for Entrepreneurs is to have them be sentient. Doing everything you do, rifting, etc...
This will happen in a future update.
For now, they are here to give you unique bonuses, based on their traits. Which can shift gameplay as needed, You also gain a very small portion of their profits every so often.
This will also continue to be balanced as time goes on.
Robotics Area + Bug Fixes + Balancing
Here is what's in this update, nothing too crazy as a lot of the changes are not visible ːsteamthumbsupː
Additions
* Robot Unlocking area, this is unlocked via dimensional rifts. They are fully working, but are still in their primitive stage(s). Future updates will contain upgrading for these robots in specific areas of your choosing. (Eventually being very customizable)
* Added Tingleweens ( new currency ), obtainable from the "Flybot". Currently, there is no way to spend it, nor increase the rate of obtaining it. However, it would be smart to stockpile, as it will be used for the future Manager changes. (Kept on Rifting)
* Added a scrollbar to the computer-related menus.
* Added the ability to hire managers from the selection window.
* Added the "Loved Manager" hearts on the rug's manager icon display.
* Added more tooltips.
* A few more QOL changes.
Changes
* Holy Thread Trading Balancing Changes
* Zap Bonus "purple" Modifier reward (20 -> 15) zaps
* Buffed the effectiveness of certain Rift-Boosting Upgrades
* Slightly buffed early game galaxy bonuses (x4 nerf -> x3.25 nerf)
Fixes
* Fixed an issue where users would end up with negative amounts of Floob, causing their game to be at a stalemate. (thanks to 'Ouch for assisting me with this.)
* Changed certain UI elements not closing/being stuck.
* Many other bugs, that I cannot recall as of writing this. ːsteamhappyː
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions/bug reports. I am very excited about where the games going! - Cheers.
Bug Fixes + Balancing/Changes

QOL, Balancing, Alterations, Many Fixes & the material converter.
The game is starting to feel a lot more stable, which makes the addition of more drastic alterations, balancing, and new content much easier to do. There will be loads of changes within the upcoming days/weeks.
For those wondering, the next update will contain the "Save-Manager", where you can set up many "save-profiles" and swap between them. This will be the basis for future "events" as well.
Additions
* Floob -> Holy Thread Converter now RESETS after entering a new Rift.
* Material Converter (from the Black-market shop)
* Variable buy-counts added for both Glipbops, and Zapping.

* More tooltip additions, many more to come.
* Added hearts to all managers that a rug loves (visible when you go to assign a manager to a rug)
Changes

Fixes
* Daily task fixes
* Missing materials/funds display fixes
* AFK fixes
* Loads of various mini issues.
Small Content Additions + Balance Changes + Fixes
I was planning to not release an update until some of the new content was fully incorporated, but there were some fixes that I really wanted to release. And I think it's better to commit more testing to the new features until they go live.
Additions:
* Added 3 new working Black-Market items that you can mess around with.
* LOADS of balancing and fine-tuning.
* Reworked game saving to make it more performant.
* Added the backbone to loads of SPICY new content, which is not yet fully within the game. But is teased. (more testing needs to be done before live)
* Added back-ups and data-security.
Fixes:
* Made it so users who are missing VIP badges, to have them rewarded once again. No matter what happens to your saves, this will now always remain.
* Fixed the Efficiency Is Key Achievement to now be rewarded properly.
* Added extra fail-safes for crashes.
* Many, many, many, many little niche fixes.
With this update, rugs can start to sell fast, really really fast. Because of this the UI may look clunky, and to solve this I will be reworking the sell-bar, and what is displayed.
This will happen in an update very soon.
Quality of Life Hovering + Small bug fixes + Disabled Dimensional Rift Additions
Additions
*Added the ability to hover the materials used to make Glipbops, to show you how many you own. (thanks to Lee)
* The hover tooltips have been fully created and will start seeping their way through many areas of the
- game in future updates. As well as info '?' Tips.

* Added Dimensional Shards which will be used within the future Rift Blackmarket
Fixes
* Fixed some more potential crash-related issues.

* Many, many more little things
Again, thanks to everyone for being so understanding with the bugs popping up, and for waiting for the new content. The game is improving so fast!
Cheers
Hotfix
This was a Quick fix for some steam profiles having crashes.
MASSIVE BUG FIXES + Glipbop Synthesizing & more
