Patch Update

SELF MADE: Investment Life Sim · build 22979250 · published

On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Summary of improvements

  • Market Mechanics: "YOLO week" has been successfully integrated with live stock fundamentals, ensuring the chaos now has a basis in (virtual) reality.

  • Financial Safeguards: Improved how the game handles "no-headroom" payment scenarios and fixed a bug where mortgage paydowns were incorrectly triggering missed-payment flags.

  • Hard Mode Adjustments: Resolved a "tax popup trap" that was likely ending runs prematurely and improved the visual contrast on sector reports. This has been persistent and we have not been able to recreate it on our end. However, we added some more defensive code

  • Data Integrity: Implemented "crash protection" to prevent save-file loss

  • Code Hardening: The "hotel arrays" are now better protected against null entries, and various "error-laden areas" have been refactored for smoother performance. We have tried to recreate the bugs on our end for this aswell and have not been able to do it.

  • UI Restoration: Reinstated the "favourite-ticker" controls that went missing after the last upgrade, and ensured negative cash is properly displayed following a margin call.One solution to help us recreate the two bugs mentioned above is to send us a save file right before the bug occurs (like an autosave after the crash should load right before it), then we can compare and have more data to figure out what is going on.Our email address is:
