June 2018 - Development Update
Main Article can be found here: https://techexecutivetycoon.com/latest-updates/f/june-2018---development-update
Hello Everyone!
With May in the books and June being the final month for work on products that you can create in the game, we are really busy finalizing this aspect of the game. With most of the work complete on products, there are still a few things remaining that need to get done.
Video Games - considered to be a big feature in the game, we are well into this process of finalization the process of creating and managing your own game development studio in Tech Executive Tycoon. Though the roadmap states that we have "started", we are actually a bit further along in this process and will provide an update on the current completion percentage soon.
Computers & Consoles - As another big gameplay feature, we are just about complete with the finalizations for these two product types.
Product UI updates and finalization - we are almost ready to start the finalization for the UI. This is preliminary finalizations as November is designated as our UI finalization month. However, we intend to get a great deal solidified and completed before the end of this month.
With that said, thanks for sticking with us throughout this journey as we continue to push closer toward the end of the year and the release of this game.
Hello everyone! We're back with another update as we are now well into the first week of May. We have been building tirelessly and working through our road map tree. Once again, I am happy to say that we are currently on track and progressing very nicely. As before, we want to share with you what we have done and where we are currently headed as you can also see the same in our road map on the website: https://techexecutivetycoon.com/release-date-road-map.
In April, we made a very valiant push to complete product integration among the assortment of products available that you can create in the game. As expected, this is a very detailed phase of the process that involves a lot of moving parts, algorithms and other fine tuning work. Our work has been quite intensive. As a result, we have made some exciting breakthroughs as well. Sometimes features can also be iterated on during this process and that has indeed happened in the month of April. We focused primarily on what we have dubbed as "secondary" products. These consist of the product set that wasn't initially going to be available at the release of the game, as they were planned to be added afterward. Now, we are pushing to get them in for day one and have made great progress toward this goal.
As we are now moving into May, the focus has shifted to all of our primary products. You might ask why we have worked on these in the order that we did. The main reason for this is due to the very fact of how they are all integrated together. Product A relies on some specifics of product B, therefore if we get product B where we want it first, we can make sure we fine tune and make product A more efficient as a result. We are also having a lot of fun implementing the details into the software options that you will have to play with at release. We look forward to seeing your response to these. Thanks for sticking with us and we will see you next month with the next update!

Hello Everyone! Thank you for your patience throughout this time. As promised, we have announced our intended and scheduled release date for this game.

Our internal schedule has been edited and shared here to provide a summary of the essential remaining task for us to complete before the release of the game. Once these tasks have been completed, the game will be released. Now to provide an important caveat--This is development and things are susceptible to change at any time for any reason.
In addition, we will be updating this list as necessary throughout the year. If we complete tasks earlier or later than anticipated, it will be reflected here as well to keep you updated.

New Website released & Release Date Road Map information
Hello Tech Tycoons!
It has been a while since our last update and we wish to thank you for your patience! As we have been testing, implementing and fine tuning the game; we decided that it was time for a few changes to the website(s).
In addition to the game, we have been streamlining our processes as a company. As mentioned, part of that change included simplifying the website www.techexecutivetycoon.com which has been overhauled. Feel free to visit and see the recent changes. This should make both navigating and gaining info a bit easier for everyone. We will also be updating our company website soon. FYI www.webgament.com
Included in this change is our initiative to share our development process with you to keep you updated and included in our release date schedule road map. To achieve this, we will be releasing our development road map for the remainder of this year in the upcoming month. As a result, we will be sharing the official planned release date publicly at the same time.
We've had our internal schedule for quite a while and just felt it may be helpful to share updates on development by sharing them publicly. This should alleviate the many questions we receive about when the game will release. We now have more confidence in our ability to hit the currently set deadlines. As a precaution however, this is still development and things can always change. So, this will achieve two goals for us by allowing us to give you a clear idea the remaining list of things that we are working on and how long we expect those items to take.
All of this will be on our website at the following link: https://techexecutivetycoon.com/release-date-road-map. We also plan to continually update the website with more game details and how-to's as the game gets closer to release. Testing is a long process and will continue from here until release. We will be having announcements for all relevant events that may come up as a result. If there is a testing phase, we will be sure to send out an email blast to those who subscribe on the website.
Thanks for your patience and we hope you enjoy the changes that we have made. In addition to this, we will be releasing a short video showcasing the game as well in the near future.
Studio Update
Hello Everyone,
We are still internally testing and polishing the game. As there has been understandable concern regarding the timeline and progress of the game, I wish to make it clear that the game is coming along nicely and we are working hard to get it complete. Please remember that this is a two person studio and our first title. We do not have a release date candidate just yet that we are prepared to share publicly.
Also, the updates have been scarce and will continue to be until we are ready and able to share more with you.
The game will definitely release. However, we are determined to release the game in the best state possible. Please stay tuned here and the website for any additional details, updates and information.
We understand that this game has been in development for a long time, however as shared before, there is a lot that went into that and we explain it in more detail in those blogs, video updates, etc.
To everyone reading this, we thank you for your support, anticipation, concern and feedback. We have learned a lot from this process and the mistakes made early in development. We have since implemented better practices going forward primarily in regard to announcing and marketing too soon.
As this was intended to be a 100% crowd funded game, we announced it early as you might expect. Many of you have followed us since that time. This has led to many of you literally watching this game from inception to completion (and all of the hurdles in between). That takes a lot of time for a title that has a much as we have attempted to put into this game.
Thanks for taking this journey with us and we hope that you will enjoy the game when it releases.
Thanks for your patience as updates have been quite scarce, however we are pouring all of our focus into meeting the scheduled released date.
