fixedOne common theme in your feedback has been the desire for more content. I've heard you loud and clear, and I'm excited to announce that significant progress has been made in resolving the savegame bugs that have been causing frustration among players. I'm happy to inform you that these issues are now almost completely fixed, ensuring a smoother and more seamless gaming experience. Your progress is now in safer hands!
addedNow, let's delve into the key features of the upcoming update, starting with a complete UI overhaul . I've transformed the game's user interface from a functional design to a cleaner and more modern look. This new UI not only provides a better visual experience but also offers more intuitive control over the game.
changedI've taken the time to relocate certain elements to more logical positions, enhancing the usability and making it easier for you to navigate through the different aspects of running your software company. I can't wait for you to see the improvements!
addedIn addition to the UI overhaul, I'm introducing exciting new gameplay features in version 0.8.6. One of the most significant additions is the ability for you to add or remove developers from ongoing game developments . This feature empowers you to adjust the quality of a game by allocating or reallocating your development resources. Whether you need to free up developers for other projects or want to give that extra boost to a particular game, now you have the power to do so. Flexibility and control are in your hands!
addedAnother much-requested feature is the ability to cancel game developments . I understand that the market can be unpredictable, and sometimes you need to react swiftly to market changes. With the new update, you'll have the option to cancel a game's development if you see that it no longer aligns with your strategy or if you spot a new trend that demands your attention. This addition allows you to adapt and make strategic decisions in real-time, maximizing your chances of success in the dynamic software industry.
fixedOf course, version 0.8.6 also includes several other bug fixes and improvements based on your feedback. I've resolved the bugs that occurred when starting a new game after returning from a loaded one to the main menu, ensuring a seamless transition between different game sessions. For a complete list of all the bug fixes and improvements, I'll provide detailed patch notes upon release.
