Hi everyone, Wow, what an exciting week this has been. The whole Discord server has been busy testing Beta 16 and fixing the last few remaining bugs. There have been a lot, but hopefully we have fixed most of them by now. Translations for Beta 16 have also been progressing nicely. Last night we completed the last language, which means Beta 16 will instantly be available in all supported languages. The devlog 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.

Another hosting building

Test players quickly discovered that the medium hosting building wasn’t large enough for their needs. To counter this, I’m introducing the Large Hosting Center. With an initial temperature of 10 degrees and a grid size of 30x30, it is the biggest and most expensive building ever in Startup Company.

Investment Offers

You will now receive offers from other investors as your product grows. While the investors will own a share of your product, they will also instantly transfer you a ton of cash. This cash can be used to acquire competitors!

Acquire competitors

Once you own 100% of a company through buying all of its stock, you’ll now be able to merge the competitor product into your own product, in the process acquiring the competitor’s users. A merger takes seven days to complete. You’ll have to prepare your own product for new potential users and server demands before starting the merger.

New competitor logos

A new logo pack has been loaded into the game. The game now features 100 unique company logos.

Beta 16 official release date

As promised last week, here is the official release date for Beta 16: Monday, June 25 at 13:00 CEST

Do you have suggestions or ideas for the game?

That’s all for now. I will be back on Monday with the official release note for Beta 16 :-) Thanks for reading! Best, 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!
