Hello Ambitioneers - it's time for EA 0.10!
There's a LOT of new stuff in this update, so let's walk through it all!
EA 0.10 brings Cinemas, Theaters, a Factory revamp, massive optimization and more!
Cinemas / Theaters
Roll out the red carpet! EA 0.10 introduces two brand-new, high-end businesses: Cinemas and Theaters.
These premium venues are ready for you to expand into large-scale entertainment operations. You’ll gain access to new employee types and new products to sell.
Hire Actors, Stage Crew and Projectionist and provide your customers with Popcorn, Cotton Candy,
Slushies, and a Cheese Platter!
They’re the largest businesses in the game with some steep licensing fees, but if you can pull it off, you’ll be running some of the most impressive businesses Big Ambitions has to offer.
Broadway Area Revamp
For EA 0.10, we really wanted the Broadway area to feel epic and more unique. Now you'll find it loaded with more billboards with varied sizes as you walk the streets.
We've added the new C.A.S.T Recruitment Agency, and a brand-new furniture store, Red Carpet Decor. As you wander the area, you'll also encounter new street performers, just hoping you'll leave them a donation!
With newly designed Cinema and Theater buildings and radiating with neon delight, Broadway really shines now!
Factory Revamp
Okay, this is a big one - factories have received a complete overhaul in EA 0.10. We’ve taken all your feedback to heart and made some big changes to how the system works while fixing the bugs that were causing your factories to stop working!
With the factory overhaul in EA 0.10, factories are now designed to be clearer, more efficient, and far less frustrating to manage. Here’s what you can expect:
Factory layouts are clean and unobstructed — no more belts blocking pathways or navigation
Employees work efficiently without constant back-and-forth walking
Factory lines no longer hoard all the ingredients in a single input station
Factory line production speeds have been ramped up
Every product can be produced by factories
Factory Worker skill matters now has a noticeable impact on production
Industry City Truck QoL
Here are a couple quality-of-life improvements for managing a massive fleet of logistics vehicles! If you're already having flashbacks to driving back and forth over the bridge - don't worry, we have two little features for you!
Truck Delivery
Call GeneralUS Trucks and get them to deliver your vehicles directly to your warehouse. Order as many vehicles as you want in one afternoon - no more weeks of driving back and forth!
Bridge Skipper
Or maybe you don't mind driving - you're just tired of crossing the bridge over and over again. That brings us to the second improvement: the ability to quickly skip over the bridge!
Employee Wages and Negotiation
Employee poaching and negotiation have received some much-needed love in this update!
Employees negotiate more intelligently now, allowing you to get a better price
You can now see the demands of employees you are negotiating with
Negotiated wages now scale better with skill to make that negotiated difference even more noticeable
Rival employees now carry over when you take over their business
Previously, these employees didn't match the "poach" list
Import Piers
With new products for Cinemas and Theaters and all the new factory recipes, we needed to expand and revamp the import piers a bit for EA 0.10!
