A small update before the big one: * Advertising boards that let you write whatever you want but more importantly, they can redirect Blktrians to your business so they consume en masse at your place, not someone else's * A personal probe is now available at Hackman's to analyze your peers in detail... This minor update lays the groundwork for a major one currently in development: the startup industrial zone. In the startup industrial zone, you'll be able to build a business safe from hostile takeovers. The zone may be far from the center, but all you need to do is advertise to attract customers! This update will benefit newcomers, allowing them to grow and thrive without fearing the sharks. Also, alternative ways to obtain Illuminati tokens are gradually appearing. The world burns better with full pockets!

I invited a UX designer friend over for coffee, and when he saw my game, he spat his drink all over the screen: it was a total mess. He couldnt instinctively figure out how to play or get through the tutorial. Then he grabbed a stick and started hitting me while explaining what needed to be fixed. Leaving me bloodied and whining on the floor, he told me Id better rework everything before he came back. So, I got to work and followed the instructions he had mercifully left me. And I have to say, his feedback was spot-on! I ended up redoing almost everythingfrom the navigation arrows to the menus, the journal and chat. These features had been haphazardly added throughout development, and theyve now been reorganized into something much more coherent. When my UX designer friend came back, I was proud of the resultclearer, more compact, smoother. He was satisfied and said: its playable now without making your eyes bleed, congratulations. I narrowly avoided another beating. For the Steam update, I still wanted to add a little gameplay feature, so I included the ability to defecate on the floor, just in case you cant afford a toilet. After all, a realistic simulation should consider even the roughest scenarios. I also told the player Melon Fusk (himself a simulation of a mean human being) to chill out because he was playing too much and it was going to harm his healthnot to mention he was getting a bit too nasty with the other players. A few more bug fixes round things out. While this update mainly brings quality-of-life improvements, I can already tell you Im working on content and gameplay refinement updates that I cant wait to show you and that could significantly impact the overall experience. In the meantime, ride safe. Charles Saucisse
