Current progress
We want to share with you the current state of the development and our short-term plans. Also, we want to share such plans more regularly.
For the last few weeks, we were working on an actual interactive game tutorial, localization, UI improvements, some optimizations, and bug fixes. Even though the technical part for localization and tutorial are done, we still need to translate the game for a number of languages and adjust the tutorial. Also, we implemented a new UI panel that provides a lot of information about every object in the game.
Next week we will start working on a new deadlock resolving algorithm, which should prevent blockage of airplanes and other vehicles (but it will take some time). Also, we plan to introduce a new window and some parameters for a new game such as start year, start balance, game progress speed.
We already slightly improved our game visuals, but want to improve more, the difference will not be huge but should be somewhat better. Regarding the next update, we made a lot of changes, and now we need to test them before the release, so it will take some more time. There is a chance that we will make a little update with bug fixes in the release branch, but for now, we plan this big update for the 1st of March.
We will keep you in touch.
