Free update now live: "Automation"

The free Automation update is now live! What fun improvements does that entail?

New mechanics for workers! They'll demand higher pay, especially if you're raking in the cash. Don't give them what they want and they'll strike! Of course, you could weaken their union with your class contacts... or just intimidate them with threats of violence.
No more mid-game tedium: assign Automation teams to each nation to launch products, push media and weaken laws automatically! Research "AI consultant" to unlock this feature.
Victory goals: achieve general goals to unlock more authority.
Once you've finished the research tree, use the "Corporate Dominion" project to dominate your company and gain endless authority.
Custom icon support. Wanted to roleplay as a real-life company? I can't put that icon in the game, but now you can! Or you could design your own if you're, like, an artist or whatever.

And, of course, there are general fixes and tweaks. Patch notes for those are below.

How do I get this update? You've already got it! That is, if you own a copy of Spinnortality then Steam is currently updating so you have access to the new build.

If you love this game, you can get notified of new updates by going to spinnortality.com and signing up to the mailing list!

Thanks to all the fans and friends who tested this update before it went live: without your help, this wouldn't be the same release. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch notes:

Added automation system: assign workers to nation teams to automatically launch products with best available slogans. Also pushes culture if media push is available, and weakens law if political influence available.
Rebalanced some events.
Corporate Dominion project: research to gain authority. Workers now have a purpose once the research tree is exhausted.
Players can now import their own custom corporate icon.
Added worker unrest, strikes and pay rises. You can avoid these problems by weakening union with class connections, or intimidating your workers if you've got the Armed taskforce agenda.
Tweaked balance of climate crisis.
Added victory goals: achieve them for an authority reward.
The game checks if a board member will die before you end the turn.
Tweaked board member ages so you need to research immortality sooner.
The game should play a bit nicer on 3:2 resolutions (ie. the nation list in the top-right won't interfere with the hovering nation boxes)
Cancelling nation actions now really cancels them. @_@
Fixed the Ayisha event chain to it can properly conclude (sorry, that achievement is now definitely possible!)
Corpornation shares are now more expensive, but also more lucrative.
All story events more likely to occur now, especially Ayisha's.
Once a crisis triggers, you're more likely to get more crisis events instead of random, irrelevant ones.
Players should all experience a crisis before victory.
Crises have been balanced slightly.
Various bug fixes.

The “Automation” update is coming, but needs testers

Hi all,

I’ve been working on a free update for Spinnortality: "Automation". My goal is to fix some balancing issues in the mid-game, and in the process add another layer of mechanical richness.

What can you expect?

Launch products, push media and change laws automatically with Automation teams!
Watch in mild discomfort as your workers demand higher pay, slowly undermining your profitable foundation.
Custom icon support.
You can now commit workers to directly influencing the company, allowing you to “research” Authority.

There are other features and smaller fixes too. All told, this should be a serious improvement on the original game!

However, I don’t have any beta testers for the update so I’m not sure how balanced it is. That’s where you come in: I’ve set up a beta on Steam that you can opt into if you’ve already got the base game and you’d like to get this a little early, albeit in a rickety state. You can access it like so:

Open your Steam library.
Right click on Spinnortality; click “Properties”.
Click the “betas” tab at the top of the window.
There’s a text box that says “Enter beta access code to unlock private betas:” Write “letmeintothebeta” in there, and press “Check code”.
You’re now opted into beta builds of the game. To go back to regular builds later, use the drop down menu where it says “select the beta you would like to opt into”.

I’d love to hear your feedback: once you’ve played the update for a bit, head to our discord and post any suggestions or bug reports there, or just drop me a line with this form (with the subject line "Spinnortality Automation feedback"). Please let me know if you think there’s something I should change or something isn’t properly balanced: I’ve tested this on my own but there’s only so much one person can do. 🙂

Expect the full update to drop around the end of July.
