Competitor Business Overhaul

  • Competitors now grow as real theatre businesses with cash, debt, screens, seats, quality, satisfaction, weekly revenue, attendance, and market share

  • Rivals can expand, upgrade projection quality, buy local ads, cut prices, pay down debt, or slow down when cash gets tight

  • Rival strength now creates ongoing market pressure that can pull demand away from your showings

  • Higher difficulties now make competitors better funded, faster to expand, and more aggressive about winning audience share

  • The Competitors panel now shows each rival's latest move, screens/seats, weekly revenue, weekly attendance, and market share

  • Added clear tooltips for rival business strength, last moves, market share, and market pressure

Operational Crisis Events

  • Added operations-driven crisis events including employee walkouts, electrical blackouts, union organizer visits, food recalls, staff sickness outbreaks, and security incidents

  • Crisis choices now affect weekly costs, demand, staff efficiency, concessions, satisfaction, sickness risk, and equipment wear

  • Post-week events now flow more cleanly after the newspaper and before rival events

  • Added localized crisis text and outcomes across supported languages

Linux Stability Improvements

  • Improved Linux startup reliability, especially on systems that were crashing before reaching the main menu

  • Platform features now turn off cleanly on Linux when they are not available instead of crashing the game

  • Improved Linux release packaging so missing or mismatched support files are caught more reliably

  • Added extra checks to make Linux builds more dependable before release

Tooltip & Localization Improvements

  • Added an optional high-contrast tooltip text setting for players who need stronger tooltip readability

  • Tooltip readability now persists through settings without changing the default look for everyone

  • Added concept tooltips for the new competitor business and market pressure systems

  • Localized the new competitor business, crisis, and tooltip text across supported languages
