Much feels

Wow. Just wow. This has been the craziest weekend, probably in my life. The Early Access release has been better, than I ever could have imagined. Within a few hours of release, Startup Company was present on Steam Global Top Sellers. More than 1000 concurrent players have been building companies non-stop since the release. I feel incredible humble and grateful. It's hard to believe. All of this would never have happened without you guys, the community. Thank you, really, the support has been tremendous! So those of you who have been following me for some time, know that I'm not a full time game developer. I work as Web Developer and have created SC in my spare time. Well, that's about to change. In the future, I will work full time on Startup Company! As you can imagine, this allows me to put 2 or 3 times more hours into the development. I cannot wait. I got so much amazing feedback from all of you. Now it's time to really make this game awesome! UPDATE: LIRIK just played the game. I'm absolutely starstruck!

Beta 12.4 hotfix released

No release without the need for an urgent hotfix. If you don't see the "Beta 12.4" in your main menu simply restart Steam for the update to kick in.

Exit button not clickable on small resolutions (less than 758 pixels height)
Moving workstation by mistake instead of selecting employee (Changed to left click to select, right click to move).
Mod archives was corrupted and didn't work on Mac/Linux under some scenarios. All mods has to be republished (sorry).
The Day 31-email was causing lots of people to believe I accused them for piracy. The paragraph has been removed (that was never my intention, you're my heroes!).

Next update

I'll now focus on the following:

Users suddenly drops overnight for products.
Performance/optimization issues in mid/late-game.
General minor bug fixing

I'm trying to keep up with all the comments, emails, tweets, chat messages and bug reports. I'm sorry if you're still waiting. I'm doing everything I can to keep up :-) That's all for now. Thank you for all your amazing support! See you till next update. Jonas

About the game

Startup Company is a business simulation sandbox game. You play as the CEO of a newly formed software company. With an empty bank account you are forced to complete client contracts, but as soon as you get enough money you will be able to start competing against the largest tech giants, building your very own products and services.

Startup Company includes:

* Build Mode: Design your very own office.
* Contract Work: Win contracts by competing on price and service.
* Crafting System: Merge components to create modules. Use modules to create products.
* Products: Build outstanding products by adding features, managing servers and running marketing campaigns.

Hiring

A great company is built by great people. Optimize your staff benefits and working conditions to attract the best employees.

Win Contracts

You'll be facing hundreds of available contracts, but not all of them will be good for your team. Work your way up and compete with the best in the industry to win the big contracts!

Develop, Merge, Repeat

That's right, even software needs a little piecing together!

No matter if you want to deliver contracts or build your own product you need components and modules. Use developers, designers and lead developers to produce what you need.

Startup Company includes a fully featured crafting/development system where you will be able to merge components into modules, servers or product features.

Release, Update and Expand

Creating successful products is all about making the right decisions. Implementing or upgrading the right features is what generates hype. Hype generates users and users generate money.

You'll have to constantly pay attention to your hype otherwise users will start to drift away from your product. Keeping the product under constant development and releasing new versions is key to success.

It's your sandbox, let your imagination run wild!
