Devlog #34
The new Centralized Clockrate Controller is done. The main purpose of the CCC is to help you defend yourself against DDoS attacks and viral boosts.
Here's a sneak preview of the new interface. In this example I've created a small cluster of racks that can be used to defend yourself against a DDoS attack. Normally the clock rate is at 0% (Top left corner), but I have created a rule that triggers once my website's server usage reaches 100%. It will then speed up the servers' clock rate to 100%. Once the attack is over and server usage is back at below 50% the servers will shut down again.
The new XServers has been added and you can finally check out it's specifications. The new servers are super expensive and extremely powerful.
If you have been playing with 100+ racks, you probably know that the game starts lagging when you click a rack or navigate around the server room. I've been able to make this piece of code 80% faster. Hopefully this eliminates lag for most setups.
In the last few days of 2018 Bruno has been super busy designing the last office for Startup Company. In terms of size you can compare it to the largest hosting building. The building comes with two floors, and will be able to seat 500 employees! Another cool things about the office, it's not completely square! Here's a very early work in progress image of the new office building:
All the notes that are listed above are simply a preview of what's coming up in Startup Company. These new changes and items are not yet available in the public build of the game.

Hello everyone! Christmas is coming up and the New Year is just around the corner. For Startup Company that means a new year of exciting updates, but also some other cool features that we've got planned for the next Beta. In addition to that, Startup Company is on sale with 35% off during the Steam Winter sale. It's the perfect time of the year to potentially gift Startup Company to one of your friends and let them become CEO of their own company!

XServers implemented and specs defined
The new XServers has been added and you can finally check out it's specifications. The new servers are super expensive and extremely powerful.
Huge improvements to hosting/server code
If you have been playing with 100+ racks, you probably know that the game starts lagging when you click a rack or navigate around the server room. I've been able to make this piece of code 80% faster. Hopefully this eliminates lag for most setups.
