addedNew Interactive EventsNow going to the more exciting news! In the next update, you will get to see a lot of new Interactive Events that are mostly connected to the traits of your employees. Right now they don't have that much of an impact on the story and this update aims to change that. Hiring employees with bad traits, such as Greedy or Wroth can trigger some unpleasant events that will make your life harder, but good ones have a chance of providing you with some benefits. That means you will need to be more mindful of who are you hiring.
addedNew Furniture and Random DecorationsThanks to the fact that our 3D artist finally has his computer back the next update will bring a lot of new furniture and variants of the existing ones. It will also introduce a new feature that will allow you to randomize the looks and placement of the decorations on the shelves and desks based on the provided seed. Below you can see some examples of this new mechanic in action.
changedSeparation of StatsAnyway, that is all from me for today. I hope you will look forward to the release of this update. As always if you find any bugs or have suggestions about the game, you can leave them at our Discord server or on mestoegames.com/bugsreport ;)

Release Schedule
Maybe I will start with the information on when the update releases. Unfortunately, I can't provide you with the exact date, as a lot of things are happening in my life right now. I'm starting a full-time job as a game programmer in Warsaw and I'm in the process of moving there. Of course, a permanent job also means that DevLife is going to be a side, after-hours project. That doesn't mean I'll stop working on the game though. On the contrary. It's just that I won't have as much time to do it so everything will slow down a bit.

Separation of Stats
The last thing I want to tease for you today is the separation of the employee stats for each specialization. That means, from now on, you will have to unlock and learn skills in the given category to increase your stats in it. I hope this will encourage you to diversify your company and make different types of projects.
Anyway, that is all from me for today. I hope you will look forward to the release of this update. As always if you find any bugs or have suggestions about the game, you can leave them at our Discord server or on mestoegames.com/bugsreport ;)
