Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to point out that most of our games still run on old machines! It's not by accident, we make sure to use older development tools that allow this.
While not many players use Windows XP these days, we think it's a shame to deprecate old computers, especially if older versions of our games used to run on them.

Aside from XP, some of our games actually work on old Macintosh computers, and we're talking PowerPC-old OSX machines, before apple switched to using Intel CPU's.

PS: Unfortunately Steam no longer works on these OS's and thus our games won't start, but we can provide a build of Kaptain Brawe without steam integration if anyone wants to try it out!

Here are some photos to illustrate this. These aren't old photos, they were taken a few days ago :)
The HP laptop below has a special place in our CTO's heart, it was bought by the very first money earned from sales of our games and is the computer on which most of Kaptain Brawe's game code was written. Still alive and kicking in 2023/2024!

---

This should be fixed now, but if you already previously purchased a business on its day off and cannot create the schedule properly, here's how you can fix it:

• Open the BizMan for that business
  
• Go to Settings
  
• Click "Shut Down Business" (but do not terminate the contract)
  
• Restart the business

You'll have to reassign and reschedule employees, but all your furniture should still be in place!

The duplicating deliveries was a weird bug - it should be fixed, but please let us know if you see it again.

Corrupted saved games and loss of data is the worst! Fortunately, we fixed an issue that now prevents saved games from being corrupted due to changes in data that happen while saving.

Don't forget to put a Christmas tree in your apartment or store by Christmas! Uncle Fred said he might swing by with a little present for you!

If you haven't gotten a Christmas tree yet, be sure to check out Ika Bohag and pick one up!

From the team at Hovgaard Games, we hope you have had a great 2023 and we can't wait for you to see what's planned for 2024. It's going to an even bigger year for Big Ambitions with several exciting updates!

But for now, enjoy the last week of this year!!
