Welcome to 1.035. Not gonna lie: this one isn't very exciting. But 1.035 walks so that 1.036 can run. BUGFIXES: Fix bug where the Save Game upgrade was sometimes locked in endless mode games Fix bug where the menu page would not honor audio/volume settings Fix bug where rolling income would get stuck if income becomes zero Fix bug where previous fullscreen state was not remembered Small calculation stability improvements IMPROVEMENTS Improvements to performance of visualizer & cluster computing 3D views Decrease level required to get the secret top rank Balancing tweak for endless mode that makes emissions charges less extreme (and prone to billion dollar spikes) in late-late-game. More to come here. Add scaffolding for achievements

Welcome to FACEMINER, where Every Face Has Value. Your job? Harvest biometric data, optimise computational infrastructure, and expand your data processing empire as hard as Planet Earth can take it.

Set against a backdrop of 90s techno-optimism, FACEMINER is an experimental, narrative-driven management sim that tasks the player with building a planetary scale biometric processing empire from scratch. All from within a suite of vintage software.

WORKLOAD

Manage data-streams, software upgrades, and hardware extensions as you rapidly expand your plant’s infrastructure. Ensure profits remain high and avoid bankruptcy (or worse) as you navigate oppressive electricity bills, high-maintenance cooling systems, and crooked politically-enforced carbon offsetting schemes.

CORPORATE CULTURE

Mining alone is no fun! Learn more about your fellow miners and keep up to date with the office gossip through internal email. Sift through messages to unravel the mysteries – and ultimate plans – of the shadowy creators of the FACEMINER software suite.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Climb the corporate ladder and gradually rise through the ranks as you are promoted from manual data-filtering rookie through to the ultimate harvesting automator as you classify and sell facial data at ever-increasing speeds. The world of data brokering is ruthless, and poor prioritisation can lead to costly mistakes down the line. Do you have what it takes to climb the ranks and become the ultimate FACEMINER?

Remember: Every Face Has Value.
