Devlog #29
Were implementing a new queue system for all production employees (Developers, Designers, Lead Developers, SysAdmins and Marketeers). This is very useful during the early game when players are not able to employ a manager. You can also toggle it to Repeater-mode (top right corner) to make it all work smoothly!
Were currently working on a bunch of new graphical assets for the game. Our old designer, Bruno, is now back on the team and will start creating assets that we need in order to continue developing the game from a graphical perspective.
This new handy bar will show you when a contract is about to end, making sure you can plan accordingly with your Sales Executives.
Beta 17 all UI had to be optimized for 4K monitors which resulted in a worse experience than running without Big UI enabled. This has been changed so it now works automatically, giving 4K users an equally great experience. At the same time rendering has been improved by 50% in Beta 18, going from 255KB of CSS rules to 128KB. This will especially improve performance on slower computers.
Other features that will make it into Beta 18 are the ''Random Events'' and Highscore feature which we mentioned in Devlog #28 from last week.
