Another great week of work. Here's what I've completed:
Changes
- Resolved an issue causing Lead Devs to break when deleting feature instances they were working on.
- Updated the savegame dialog to support duplicate saves.
- Updated the savegame dialog to filer out savegames not ending with ".json".
- Changed the finance view from showing the last 30 days to showing the next 30 days for your income.
- Added a Christmas Tree (!!)
- Rebalanced competitor offers when bidding for contracts.
- Resolved an issue causing modules to show invalid (and high) production time.
- Resolved an issue where the office bonus was not recalculated immediately when purchasing new furniture.
- Increased mood resting from 0.05 to 0.125 per hour.
- Employees now quit at 15% mood instead of 25%.
- Reduced max users for competitors and own products to ~2 billion.
- Resolved an issue causing competitors to either become too big or go bankrupt.
- Adjusted balancing for product's potential users.
Merry Christmas
The game now includes a cosy Christmas Tree, adding a huge 10% office bonus.
Weekends!
As announced in the previous firday update I've been working on improving the HR Manager's functionality and tweaking the employees' need for vacation.
The HR Manager can now control all employees' schedule at once. You can also define which days of the week the employees should take a day off.
This update also introduces "weekdays" to the game's lifecycle. The topbar now includes the current day:
Tracking of stock prices
Competitor stock prices are now tracked, making it much easier to figure out when to buy and sell stocks.
I'm currently designing the new "Team Feature". Basically the feature allows managers to easily control component/module production. This feature is the highest voted ever. You can read about it here: https://startupcompany.cnflx.io/public/ideas/468
That's all for now. Thanks for reading. I'll be back next Friday :-)
All the best,
Jonas
