Tech Corp Alpha 1.8 - 7/30/19
Thanks for all the criticism, we appreciate your opinions, good or bad. We are determined to make the game better from now on. This build includes a cut down marketing system. We know it was intrusive, and now it's only a one time setup.
Next we are going to work on an “Auto-Manage” feature, so if you decide, managers can auto select tasks based on a priority system. We will introduce this to the programmer manager first and then to the lead developer, who’s task will be picked up by the programmer!
