Hi everyone,

Another week went by and another Daily Deal has come to an end. The impact on our Review Score has been enormous this time. From 100% out of 18 reviews to 61% out of 41 reviews in 2 days. I won't lie, the "demotivational impact" is equally enormous. I'll keep my eyes away from the reviews until things are back to normal. If you have any issues with the game, please reach out to my directly ( [email protected] or Discord). The game is 100% stable and if you have any issues with the game I guarantee to fix it within 24 hours.

With that off my chest, let's look into some exciting news!

Improved Contract Filters


A lot of you have probably struggled with setting the right max impressions for your Sales Executives. Beta 27 changes how max impressions is calculated, so it won't suddenly drop to lower amounts. I also added a textbox to easily enter the desired amount.

No more researching beginner kits


I had a lot of complaints that players found it annoying that you had to combine the "Beginner Kit" after researching the a new employee type. All beginners kits are now instantly available in all new savegames.

7 new achievements


Beta 27 comes with 7 new achievements mainly focused on the new features:

Achievement
Goal


Fast Support
Reach an average response time lower than 2 hours with more than 500 tickets


The Average Worker
Secure a retirement fund of more than $500,000


Upper Middle Class
Secure a retirement fund of more than $1,000,000


Biggy Shot
Secure a retirement fund of more than $45,000,000


Mister Biggy Biggy Shot
Secure a retirement fund of more than $200,000,000


Mister World Wide
Secure a retirement fund of more than $3,500,000,000


The Sun Is The Future
Invest 100% of Space-based Solar Power

Changes to game speed


I have decided to increase the speed of the game, mainly to reduce waiting time in stale periods of the game.

The following changes has been applied to Beta 27:

  • In-game minutes changed from 200ms to 150ms
  • 2x Speed ticks changed from 2 to 5 in-game minutes
  • 3x Speed ticks changed from 5 to 10 in-game minutes

These changes will dramatically increase the speed, especially when playing in fast-forward mode. I hope these changes makes you feel more in control of the game's progression.

Release date of Beta 27


I can finally announce that Beta 27 will be publicly available November 2, 2019 at 10:00am PT (18:00 CET). You can participate in the countdown on our Discord server. Make sure to subscribe to the CEO role by writing !subscribe in any channel.

That's all for this week


Also remember I'm continuously uploading new strings for translation to Localizor. So if you want to help translate the game, this is the place to go: https://www.localizor.io/game/1/translations

Thank you for reading and see you in the next devlog ːschappyː

All the best,
Jonas
