Hi everyone,

I had some great progress on Beta 29 recently. Everything is coming along much faster than expected. I even hope testing will begin at the end of next week. I'll keep you updated in the next devlog.

Beta 29 Sneak Peek: CEO Backstory


This week I finalized the most popular change in Beta 29: The CEO's backstory. Basically you get to select which skill your CEO had before becoming a CEO. This will allow him to act as a Developer, Designer or Manager. He'll still be able to do recruitment. All you have to do is manually switch between his roles. As you can see below, I added a small icon for that.

Beta 29 Sneak Peek: Help System


The headline might confuse you. It's not an in-game help system. It's a new Enhancement Feature you can add to your website. Adding the Help System will not only allow you to increase overall satisfaction (as it counts like a regular feature), but it also greatly reduces the amount of generated support tickets.

Beta 29 Sneak Peek: Order by age


A small but useful update. You can now order by age in the employees menu.

Beta 29 Sneak Peek: Retirement warning


Another small but useful update. You now get a warning 1 year before an employee will retire.

Beta 29 Sneak Peek: New Fusion Hardware


Beta 29 will also introduce new servers and airconditioners. We categorize them as "Fusion hardware". Bruno did his best to make it look as badass as absolutely possible. He nailed it, don't you think? ːschappyː

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
