Beta 14 Released!
The HR Manager can now control all employee schedules at once. You can also define which days of the week the employees should take off.
Competitor stock prices are now tracked, making it much easier to figure out when to buy and sell stocks.
The new activity log replaces the current notification system. Instead of hiding your notifications, you now get a static overview of all activity in the game.
The new automated production feature is currently being tested. Currently, you have to manually set the minimum stock amount for each available component/module. Once the limit is reached, employees stop working.
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 :-)
You can now use training to increase the speed of your employees. Each employee 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 at lower salaries than simply hiring “Expert” level employees.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy Beta 14! All the best, Jonas

Beta 14 is finally here! My priority with Beta 14 has been to iron out features that felt inefficient or clumsy. A general complaint has been that there is too much clicking in the game. I hope Beta 14 removes a lot of these clicks and makes the gameplay less cumbersome. Products have once again been rebalanced. Beta 13 allowed you to gain more users than the population of the world. I’ve fixed this in Beta 14. Take note that your product will now instantly start to lose users if you have more than two billion users. Server demands has also been buffed a lot. This is intended!
