The Boards Are Live In Game

This patch should not affect and on going play through. A couple of the changes won't take affect until a new game is created, but they won't impact your current games if you are already working on dominating the leader boards.

Boards

You can now view the leaderboards in game from the menu or while in a office. You can view global leaders, view your global self and players around you, and list yourself and your friends score. This is available for all 7 current leader boards with jump to buttons.

I believe it is running really well with no breaking, at least I could not manage to break it. If anyone has any issues regarding the boards let me know and well will smash those bugs.

Fixes / Changes

- Fixed an issue where you could break the games money limit with a $2 trillion + sized long term investment. Some of you are pretty crazy, thank you for figuring this out with your mad GDM skills.

- I moved the milestones for bank being over 1m/10m/1bil etc to a weekly check instead of a longer milestone check, this should now fire immediately or worst case the following week after you cross these amounts. I have left the fan milestones on the longer term switch as they don't tend to go down (unless your making bad games) So, I left them as is for performance reasons, but if this becomes an issue we can move these to weekly as well.

- Fixed a couple spelling issues with features, thank you to my amazing discord family for finding all of these. The game when it launched into EA was barely passable for English, with your guys help over the last month the game is in a great state.

- Topic research / money costs have been changed. They now scale per use by a factor of 5.. Ie 5rp / 10rp / 15rp $5k / $10k / $15k etc.. These have final topics at $775k and 775 RP which is very reasonable and paces with you regardless of year.

- Changed Airplane and Simulation to be a great match due to Flight simulator existing. Sorry that I missed this one in the last round of match revisions, but now you can make flight simulator.

- I have capped critical to 50% at max stats. This is a nerf across the board to critical, but 100% was to insane late game. You now essentially have 1/2 your crit stat as crit. Ie 40 / 100 crit = 20% crit chance.

- Fixed an issue that caused the acquire 3 companies milestone to need 4 companies to fire. This will now fire on the third company correctly.

- Drastically cut game dev time for large / AAA games in general as well as reduced the increased time factor based on engine power. Over all this should add a better pace feel to late game when super engines are being used to create master piece AAA games or crazy over powered small games.

- Reduced Console Porting Time, this goes along with the reduction to game creation time. Porting a game is the best quick source of income after completing a game as you get to sell it to the remaining market % in your world. This reduction combined with the over all reduction in dev times, should make PORTs always feel worth doing, which they were not for huge long made games atm.

- DLC has been significantly cut in dev time as well to match these reductions. I want cranking DLC for a year after you release a game to be a viable option to make money. Especially if you are making good high budget DLC for a high rated game. This will still need some love in the future, but I believe its a lot more viable in current build.

Ok that does it for this patch, provided everything is working correctly you won't see a patch for a week or 2. I am going to switch hats for the next few days and put on my marketing hat, try to reach out to more content creators / press. I feel the game is really strong, and the reception so far has been amazing. I would love to get the demo into the hands of more tycoon players. I will be running a poll over the next few days to see what aspect of development players would prefer to see focused on next. The poll will be in the discord, but if you don't use discord but want to be a part of the games development you can vote by commenting on this update with the aspect you want to see focused on as soon as possible.

The current Options are;

1. Engines / More Commercial options / Feature Discovery / License engines for rev %
2. Conventions / create own conventions / complex mini game
3. Awards / More awards / Award shelf in game / Award cut-scene
4. Fast Forward
5. Opening intro cut scene
6. Consoles / creation / First party titles / market battles
7. Studio options / skill trees / own markets / Unlock Port , DLC , Remakes on your time etc.
