Hi there, The past week has been very productive. Beta 21 is almost ready (more about that) and the development preparations for Beta 22 has started.

New office building almost ready

The new office building has been announced in an earlier Devlog from December 2018. The new building will be available in Beta 21, so you'll have to wait a little bit longer, but the building is so big I wanna make sure we have enough time to improve the performance.

Change to the Supporter

In the last Devlog, it was announced that the Supporter employee would introduce a new mechanic where Beginner Supporters would be faster at resolving "Low Complexity Tickets" than Expert Supporters. A lot of you weren't very happy with this approach, so I decided to change it: All Supporters now resolve tickets at the same speed (relatively to their own speed of course), but instead Intermediate and Expert Supporters will become unhappy if they're forced to solve too many tickets below their level of expertise. I hope this change feels more natural to everyone :-)

Improved arms animations

The animations of arms will be improved from 3 frames to 6 frames. This change is intended to make everything feel a bit more smooth.

Beta 21 release date

We're now at the final stage of preparing the Beta 21 release. All strings has been sent to the translators. I'm targeting a Friday release, but nothing official yet, as I'm still awaiting confirmation from the translators. Fingers crossed!

Do you have suggestions or ideas for the game?

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. That's it for this Monday! Best, Jonas & Robert [url=https://discord.gg/hovgaardgames]

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!
