Hi everyone, there were a few bugs and tweak suggestions people reported after the recent Automation Update. Patch notes: · If the mutant crisis ends but you never picked a side, you'll still be able to conclude the event chain. · The climate taskgroup will stop asking you for stuff once the climate crisis is over. · Turning the globe should be a little more optimised now. · Automation teams ar…
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…

Just a few bug fixes here. Highlights are: no more tsunamis on the moon, and there's a new graphics mode for those who got a totally black earth (it's because some shaders aren't supported by their graphics cards). Full patch notes: UI: · Politics pie chart now has lines dividing sectors for easier readibility. · Tutorial window can now be dragged around, in case it obscures something in some r…
Hi Spinnortality players, I just wanted to let you know that every game-breaking bug that's come to light since launch should now be fixed in the latest version, v06.02.2019. There's still a long list of other bugs, as well as tweaks and features I'd like to implement, and I fully intend to get round to that. But anyone whose global corporate empire was halted by a mysterious inability to launc…
Hi everyone, Spinnortality is out now! Technically it was out about 18 hours ago but suddenly I had a bajillion things to do come launch, so this update is a little tardy. What is Spinnortality, I hear you ask? (Well, not all of you - some lovely people have bought the game already!) Spinnortality is a cyberpunk management sim where you run a giant evil megacorporation in a dystopian future. Yo…
Hello! Just wanted to let you know that cyberpunk management sim Spinnortality is launching on February 1st! You can see the announcement trailer on the game's Steam page. This has been a long road for me - this game's been in development for over 3 years, and I've worked pretty much alone for all of that - but I'm excited (and slightly terrified) that it'll soon be in your hands!
