New Features · Train your own developer skills with money and time instead of skill points. · Specializations are a studio profile now — how many run at once depends on your office, and switching is free. · An experienced founder mentors: staff training finishes noticeably faster. · The Expertise tab shows where the development speed of your current project comes from, source by source. Improve…
New Features · Company takeovers: buy out a competitor straight from the Competitors panel, or accept a discounted offer in your inbox. Every deal shows a full cost breakdown, you can optionally take over their offices for the extra desks, and you absorb their reputation and some of their staff. · Rolling training: set a single train-to-maximum plan per employee, team or founder. It keeps level…
Bug Fixes · Corrected faulty translations across all 28 in-game languages: achievements, in-game events, tutorial tips, employee events and other texts that previously appeared in English are now properly localized.
New Features · Mods & Steam Workshop: install local mods and subscribe to Workshop items. Data-driven content lets mods add programming languages, frameworks, client project types and product categories. Manage mods in-game — activate or deactivate on the fly, publish, hide, delete and tag. · In-game mod editor: a step-by-step wizard (name, type, values, check, save) to create and edit language…
New Features · Redesigned main menu: a single screen with a navigation rail and content panes (New Game, Settings, Credits, Patch Notes) over an animated era backdrop. · New in-game navigation: a persistent grouped sidebar (Overview, Studio, Team, Business, Progress, System) replaces the old desktop icon grid, so every screen is one click away. Improvements · The Office screen now switches betw…
New Features · Filter your mail inbox by sender type: Clients, Team, Finance, Maintenance or System. · Search your mail by subject to jump straight to the message you need. Bug Fixes · Released products can start a new version again with the Develop Update action, which had gone missing and left Discontinue as the only option. · Text in non-Latin languages (Japanese, Korean, Chinese and others)…
Improvements · The Development, Market and Employees desktop icons now show a small count badge. Bug Fixes · Fixed a crash that closed the game when hiring an applicant.
New Features · The Employees screen is now split into Employees, Applicants and Teams tabs. · Reworked team management: each team is organised into Members, Assignment Rules and Training, with a scrollable two-column members list showing languages and levels, a language and training-type picker, and per-team language rules for auto-assignment. · Office dashboard with hardware-manufacturer tabs…
Bug Fixes · Employee actions (train, promote, dismiss, hire) respond reliably again. · The idle-employee indicator is back as a badge on the desktop icons.
New Features · Fast-forward: from the Organizer, run time in fast-forward up to the next month or the next important event — the simulation keeps running (development, deadlines, events) and stops the moment something needs you. · Employee filter: filter staff and applicants by job title, language, status and health from one shared filter bar across both tabs. · Optimised saves: smaller and now…
Bug Fixes · Developers now handle testing when no QA is on the team. In large offices projects could previously get stuck in the testing phase with no one able to sign the work off.
New Features · Team leads: give a team a lead who speeds up the team's assigned project and cuts down its bugs. On a team project this replaces the old company-wide bonus, so there is no more double-counting. · Rule-based auto-assignment: set a team's rules (which project types and languages it accepts, plus a priority) and it automatically picks up matching projects each day. It is opt-in and…
New Features · You can now add a project manager to a team. When you assign the team to a project, its manager automatically becomes that project's project manager. Bug Fixes · Fixed missing or garbled interface text in non-Latin languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Greek, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. · Fixed a freeze and crash that could occur when opening the mailbox in those lan…
Bug Fixes · Opening a contract negotiation no longer draws the terms card on top of the title, so the heading stays clean and readable instead of showing through from behind the card. · The power-on beep on the boot intro screen is now much quieter, so it no longer blares against the otherwise silent startup.
New Features · Investment offers are now yours to accept or decline. Instead of automatically selling company equity, each offer waits in the Finance panel's Investors tab (and in your mail) with accept and decline buttons and a 30-day decision window. · A new Teams tab in the Employees panel lets you build, rename, staff and dissolve your dev teams in one place, with a live readout of whether…
Bug Fixes · Assigning a saved team to a different project now pulls its members off their previous project first. Previously the employees stayed assigned to both projects at once.
New Features · The Organizer: a new planning panel (open it by clicking the date in the top bar) that lays every project deadline, maintenance contract, live product and employee vacation onto a single six-month timeline. · Plan your team's vacations yourself: click an employee to schedule their paid leave - pick a start date and duration from the days they have banked. Prefer a hands-off appro…
New Features · Employees now proactively ask for a raise or a promotion. The request pops up as an immediate decision - grant it (higher pay or a promotion, and a happier employee) or decline it (they take it less well). · Paid vacation: employees build up a leave balance each month and take time off once they have earned it. They are still paid while away but do no project work, and the balanc…
New Features · Team management: assign a developer straight onto a project even when they are already on another one - a confirmation asks before pulling them over. QA testers can now be moved between projects too, which was not possible before. Improvements · The development view now shows each running project's payout and late-completion penalty on its card, so you can see what a contract ear…
Bug Fixes · The mail reader now scrolls the message body: the subject and sender stay pinned at the top while you scroll through long emails, so the full text is always reachable. Contract and migration offer details now appear below the body instead of overlapping it.
New Features · Steam Game Recording timeline support: the timeline bar is coloured by what you are doing, milestones (achievement unlocks and every new decade) get markers you can jump to or clip, and the hover tooltip shows the current year and company value. · Friend leaderboards: the leaderboards now have a Friends view that ranks you against your Steam friends by net worth, projects, and re…
Bug Fixes · Assign All now staffs a QA tester for testing work even if the tester does not share the project's programming language. QA testers can test any project, so the project language no longer keeps them off the team.
New Features · Filter the employee roster by job title, specialty (programming language), assignment status, and health/training - so a big team is easy to scan. Bug Fixes · The team-composition hint now counts developers of any seniority, so it no longer reports a missing developer when your team is already staffed with senior developers.
Bug Fixes · Assign All now staffs a project by the work it needs: a project manager, developers with the right coding skills for the features and bugs, and testers for the testing phase - instead of filling every slot with developers who have nothing to do. · Fixed the team-management buttons and labels overlapping in French (and other languages with longer text).
New Features · Three new languages: Arabic (with full right-to-left layout), Thai and Malay — Code Tycoon now speaks 31 languages. · Steam Leaderboards: compete globally on net worth, projects completed and reputation, in a new Leaderboards tab in the Statistics panel. · Steam achievement restore: previously unlocked achievements sync back from Steam onto a fresh save. Improvements · Auto-Assig…
