Hi there!

Beta 29 is now available. Restart Steam to get it right away!

It's been 42 days since the last beta update. While Beta 29 isn't the biggest update, it delivers some important changes. One of these changes has been in the pipeline for more than a year!

Let's jump right into it and see what's new.

CEO Backstory

The CEO's backstory allows you to select which skill your CEO had before becoming a CEO. You'll be able to choose between developer, designer, or manager. No matter which role you choose, the CEO will still be able to participate in recruitment. All you have to do is manually switch between his roles.

The CEO is the first and only employee type that can handle multiple skills.

New Fusion Hardware

Beta 29 introduces brand new "Fusion" hardware. Both new hardware items are very expensive, but are also the most efficient seen so far.

Fusion Server

Generates a lot of heat, but it's also the first server to produce all three types of throughput.

Fusion Heat Transformer

Incredibly expensive but reduces temperature by a stunning -55 Celsius (-67 Fahrenheit).

New Enhancement Feature: Help System

This headline might be confusing. It's not an in-game help system – it's a new enhancement feature you can add to your website. Adding the Help System will not only allow you to increase overall satisfaction (it counts as a regular feature), but it also greatly reduces the number of generated support tickets.

Tidal Power Investment Project

A third investment project is now available: Tidal Power. It will unlock both the Fusion Heat Transformer and the Fusion Server. The upfront payment is $28 million and the minimum daily budget is $1.2 million.

Minor changes

Beta 29 also contains a lot of bug fixes and improvements. The most exciting ones are

  • Employee MenuOrder by age added
  • Retirement warnings added

  • New achievements: "The Wave" & "Dangerous Future"

Help us translate!

Even though the community has been very busy translating Beta 29, there are still a couple of untranslated strings. The following languages are incomplete: Portuguese (BR), French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Turkish.

As always, I'll be monitoring the release very closely for any potential issues that might arise or that we might have missed during testing. If you encounter any issues or bugs, please send me a message on our Discord channel (link provided below) or create a post in the Steam discussions.

I really hope you like all the new changes and features!

Best, Jonas
