Friday Update #8
Since December, Startup Company’s review score has decreased from 89% (Very Positive) to 64% (Mixed). To be honest, I don’t entirely understand the reason for this, except that the proportion of negative reviews has increased. In response to this downturn, I believe the best thing I can do is listen and make improvements. This has led to a number of changes in the game:
Players have always disliked the first 10 minutes of the game because of the high volume of clicking that is required. Together with the “Production feature”, I’ve unlocked the Auto-Repeat function for all employees, whether they are assigned to a manager or not. Instead, the manager’s main purpose is to help assign tasks and boost productivity by adding the speed bonus. This should help get rid of a substantial portion of early-game clicks :-)
The vacation feature is being renamed to “Send home”. You can now choose between 1 and 3 days. 3 days still guarantees that an employee’s mood will be at 100% upon their return to work, but most of the time 1 day is sufficient.
Yes, it’s finally here! Following a large number of requests on Conflux, I have decided to add an employee training feature:
Each employee now has a “Max Speed” or “Potential Speed”. Once you’ve trained your employee to his/her maximum speed, you’ll be able to upgrade the employee. After upgrading, a higher “Max Speed” will now be available, until the employee reaches “Expert” level. The employee’s final “Max Speed” will vary from employee to employee. Putting hours into training employees will result in higher speeds than simply hiring “Expert” level employees.

Hi everyone,
I’ve had another fantastic week in terms of productivity. The number of bugs and error reports has been very low, which has allowed me to really focus on development.
The Friday Update gives a sneak peek into what has been developed on the game over the past week. It is not a new release and is not available yet. New features are always released as official Beta releases.
Bad Reviews and Big Changes

Auto-repeat for everyone!
