Hey, heroes! 👋

We've got some delicious updates to share with you this month. From the much-anticipated Open Beta announcement to significant strides in our tutorial system and gameplay mechanics, August has been a tasty mix of progress and excitement.

So grab your favorite snack (burgers, anyone? 🍔), and let's get into the latest developments!

Yes, you read that right! After months of hard work and countless iterations, we're ecstatic to announce that a limited Open Beta will be live from September 13th to 15th.


This is your chance to experience the latest version of the game with all the new features, and give us your valuable feedback before the demo release in October.

But there's a catch. 😉

Slots are limited, and keys are flying out the door on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you haven't requested beta access in the last two weeks, sign up now to register.

Our goals for this playtest are simple:

• Gather your feedback to fine-tune the gameplay.
  
• Iron out any hiccups before the official demo.
  
• Build a stronger connection with our amazing community—you!

We absolutely can't wait to have you onboard and hear your thoughts!

Now, onto the exciting behind-the-scenes work we've been doing.

Designing a tutorial for a strategy game is no walk in the park, especially when you’re trying to satisfy both Achievers who crave structured guidance and Explorers who love to discover things on their own. To strike the right balance, we created a two-part onboarding system that that caters to both styles of play.

First, we implemented a skippable navigational guide to help new players get familiar with the game’s interface.


We know how overwhelming a strategy game UI can be, especially when you're first starting out, so this guide aims to make that initial learning curve a bit smoother.


However, for those of you who love diving straight into the action, you can skip this guide right from the get-go.

Next, Instead of handholding you through each mechanic, we set mini-goals and provide tips that help you discover the game's mechanics by doing. Completing these challenges will earn you experience points that can be used to unlock items in the research tree.


We believe this method works exceptionally well for tycoon and management game players, as it mirrors the decision-making and strategic planning that are core to the gameplay.

While building this tutorial, we've kept three key considerations at the forefront: player autonomy, a rewarding experience, and clarity. We want you to feel empowered to discover the game your way, with just enough guidance and meaningful rewards.

We’ve also overhauled the game setup screen to give it a fresh, spacious layout with a more vibrant color palette. Here's how the previous version looked:


In the latest version, essential elements like weather conditions, starting funds, GDP, and interest rates are now prominently displayed, giving you a clearer sense of how they’ll impact your game’s difficulty.



Additionally, the new difficulty gauge resolves a previous usability issue where players attempted to adjust the difficulty setting by interacting directly it.

Another QoL improvement we made was to implement informative pop-ups that help prevent unintended consequences.


Whether you’re tweaking a recipe after placing an inventory order or starting a new research queue, these pop-ups will now warn you of any potential impacts on your strategy.

This way, you can make informed decisions and avoid any unintentional slip-ups.

A longstanding pain point we've seen during gameplay has been the management of surplus ingredients that take up more storage space than necessary.

Previously, the only solutions were to either incorporate surplus items into recipes where they didn't really belong or to cease ordering them altogether, hoping to balance the stock manually over time.

Neither approach was particularly satisfying or realistic.

To address this, we've implemented a new 'Discard Inventory' function that allows you to delete either a portion or the entirety of any ingredient that's cluttering your storage.



That's it for August! 🥂

Hey everyone!

After receiving lots of feedback from the players and of course reading the reviews
both negative and positive i improved the game's flow, especially from the beginning where most players struggle to complete/progress.

Here are some additional update notes:

Game has now a saving system, yay no more progress lost.... This however is a per level save, example given, when you load the fifth level its going to save the game from the start of the level, not your actual progress inside that level.

Menu settings have been re-coded from almost scratch, the UI has not changed but the code is way more stable and clean. Also the CONTROLS section like disabling camera shake/motion blur/FOV etc is now way easier to access.

Translation has improved as well, character unicode issues and specific characters where missing but now i think its all good. If you think the translation for your language is very bad or completely wrong, feel free to contact me on Discord so we can improve the translation of your country's language.

Game Compile Warnings have been fixed as well.

The Powerplant 007 Puzzle is way easier to solve, you can either solve it with the math way given by the note, or find the value from the computer.

Its also now way easier to find the light switch/distribution board as well as the powerplant 007 battery.

An Async Loading Screen has been added to the game whenever you open a new level so you know that your game has not froze


About the Poolrooms level/level after level 0
If the loading issue still persists the game now saves your progress instantly from the start of the poolrooms level. So if it takes too much just close the game with alt+f4,re-open it and press continue!


That's pretty much it! If you feel like the game is lacking something or its still buggy in some places, feel free to contact me on Discord!

Thank you for your patience!
