PITCHSIDE EMPIRE v4 — THE BIG FACILITY UPDATE

On Steam

Your growing facility now has more decisions, events, and ways to develop. This update expands negotiations and business management, redesigns the interface, and addresses many of the problems reported by the community.

BETTER NEGOTIATIONS AND PHONE CALLS
• Three pricing approaches, suitable time-slot selection, and acceptance chances displayed alongside each offer.
• A final negotiation round: accept the customer's counteroffer, try a modest increase, or take a bolder risk.
• Customer loyalty and their preferred playing time influence the final negotiation.
• Deposits, remaining payments, and additional earnings are shown before you confirm.
• New games start with manual calls. The answering machine holds the queue; hiring a manager unlocks automatic answering.
• Growing facilities occasionally receive three-hour block booking requests.
• Changing your selection no longer refreshes the timer. If your chosen slot becomes unavailable, the booking will not silently move elsewhere.

BOOKINGS AND SCHEDULE CONTROL
• A searchable, filterable agenda combining bookings, maintenance, and league fixtures.
• Close selected pitch hours to new bookings and reopen them for free.
• A waiting list for customers who cannot find an available slot.
• Reschedule eligible individual bookings or cancel them with a deposit refund.
• Weekly booking availability previews, alternative pitches, and replacement matches that retain the original deposit.
• Daily special offers, quieter-hour opportunities, and multi-week packages.

EXPANDED BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
• A redesigned business office with today's plan, pending decisions, upcoming matches, and operational alerts.
• Facility specializations, pricing policies, and regional competitor campaigns.
• Company, school, neighbourhood tournament, and birthday agreements with two- or four-week options, different deposits, and premium packages.
• Daytime, evening, and weekend pricing, plus a demand map based on historical occupancy.
• Individual branch goals, maintenance budgets, condition thresholds, and minimum manager offers.
• Compare branches by occupancy, pitch condition, match revenue, and upcoming payments.

GET TO KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS
• A searchable customer book with filters, sorting, a compact list, and one expanded profile at a time.
• Relationships, trust, return offers, and regular-customer stories that develop through completed visits.
• Promise pitch or changing-room improvements and strengthen relationships by keeping your word.
• Recovery options for interrupted agreements and referrals to competitors.
• A review archive with topic and period filters, plus direct links from complaints to the relevant service screen.

STAFF AND MAINTENANCE
• Staff training, experience, specializations, shift selection, and fatigue tracking.
• Salary and budget previews before hiring or promotion, with service and fatigue comparisons for shifts.
• Automatic overnight maintenance and manual maintenance appointments during available daytime hours.
• Move maintenance that has not started to another available slot without paying again.
• Completed maintenance fully restores pitch condition while respecting existing bookings and league fixtures.

BUILD YOUR CLUB
• Customize your club name, colour palette, pitch patterns, and reward pennants.
• Multi-stage youth academy, neighbourhood cup, and corporate sports centre projects.
• Regular-customer stories, recurring matches, and decisions that are remembered.
• Branch investments in covered pitches, rehabilitation facilities, and event infrastructure.
• Club showcase events with a choice of available dates and starting times.

LEAGUES, TOURNAMENTS, AND NEW SCENARIOS
• League preparation, youth development, fatigue, and season objectives.
• Season stories, close-rival tracking, supporter confidence, and match/season archives.
• Four- or eight-team tournaments using actual pitch slots, with round results and winner history.
• Clearer standings, fixtures, and preparation comparisons.
• Three starting scenarios focused on restoration, school customers, and a compact facility, each with its own 30-day objectives.

MONTHS, SEASONS, AND FESTIVALS
• Thirty-day months, four seasons, and a seasonal calendar.
• Neighbourhood, school, company, and seasonal match days with optional event preparations.
• Monthly community, academy, and evening festivals through the event park.
• Visible festival budgets, actual pitch reservations, and automatic settlement after the event.
• Permanent souvenir pennants to collect across all four seasons.
• Seasonal changes to the surrounding landscape and tree colours.

MORE MEANINGFUL FACILITY DEVELOPMENT
• Current and upgraded pitch previews, with cost comparisons across five development stages.
• Better turf wears more slowly, and pitch appearance reflects its maintenance condition.
• Three facility mastery stages per branch, progressed through completed matches and good service days.
• Local pitch operating-cost discounts from completed mastery stages.
• An expanding club building, entrance landscaping, a football monument, and an empire keepsake for developing every branch.
• Match activity reflected around the canteen and parking area, visible maintenance staff, spectators, and championship trophies.

FASTER PACING AND A STRONGER ECONOMY
• The normal game clock runs 25% faster: one in-game hour now takes 12 real seconds. Manual calls retain more thinking time.
• Customer arrival intervals have been adjusted to match the new pace.
• Early expansion costs have been rebalanced: the first additional pitch costs 7,500 TL and the second plot costs 135,000 TL.
• Improved first-step guidance and an advisor that takes you directly to the next relevant investment.
• Fixed the customer pool running out and slowing growth at larger facilities.
• Seven-day cash forecasts, post-investment expense previews, and six weeks of business reports.
• Clearer distinctions between revenue, deposits, outstanding payments, and net results.

REDESIGNED MENUS AND A CLEANER MAIN SCREEN
• A more readable top bar, compact live-match information, and an overview containing all your goals.
• A calendar that starts collapsed, with one date selector, a Today button, and clearer booking details.
• Consistent visual design across the main menu, settings, and management screens.
• Office and upgrade search, Ctrl+K / Cmd+K quick access, recent destinations, and four saved favourites.
• More consistent keyboard navigation, restored focus when closing windows, high-contrast options, and reduced-motion settings.
• Redesigned daily summaries, save slots, customer lists, and reports for smaller screens.
• Updated text and long-translation layouts across all eight supported languages.

FIXES BASED ON PLAYER REPORTS
• Fixed Accept and response buttons disappearing in small windows or at high interface scales. Phone details scroll while decision buttons remain accessible.
• Fixed layouts extending beyond the available screen after window or monitor-scaling changes.
• League, match, and achievement notifications no longer cover active event decisions.
• Rain and damage now affect maintenance condition instead of removing purchased turf upgrades.
• Balanced event frequency at large facilities and corrected payment checks for paid responses.
• Fixed duplicate payments, repeated daily reviews from the same team, and booking/maintenance/league conflicts.
• Corrected inconsistencies in end-of-day income, expenses, rewards, and save loading.
• Added five-second, fifteen-second, and end-of-day autosave options, with save checkpoints when exiting.
• Improved older-save migration and handling of damaged save fields.
• Added optional local diagnostic exports and improved calculations for busy facilities.
