Code Tycoon - Update 1.7.3 Beta

New Features

• Tutorial deadline warning - when you're in the tutorial and a project deadline is approaching (2 days left), the game automatically pauses and notifies you. A mail explains the quality-vs-time tradeoff, helping new players avoid missing their first deadline.

• Unified project panel with tabs - the "Project Market" and "Development" views have been merged into a single panel with tabs. Both desktop icons still work - each opens the combined panel with the corresponding tab active. Switching between market and development is now one click instead of navigating back to the desktop.

• One-click worker assignment (Fill button) - active project cards in the development view now show a "Fill" button that automatically assigns the best available workers to a project based on language skills and development speed. Workers are also auto-assigned when accepting a new project from the market.

• Idle worker indicators - desktop icons for Project Market, Development, and Employees show an amber badge with the number of idle workers when projects are active but workers are unassigned. The development header also shows idle count.

• Simplified negotiations - the negotiation system has been streamlined from manual price/deadline adjustment to a "push your luck" mechanic. Click "Negotiate" and the client responds immediately - accepting your terms, countering with a smaller improvement, or rejecting. Each round gets riskier, making it a quick strategic decision.

Improvements

• Worker availability on project cards - development cards show available worker count next to the current team size (e.g. "Team: 2 (+3 available)"), so you can see at a glance which projects could use more staff.

• Smart tab indicators - when browsing the project market, the development tab shows live progress and pulses green when a project is ready for delivery (orange if it has open bugs, red during grace period). When in development, the market tab pulses to alert you of new project arrivals.
