Hi everyone, This last week the main focus has been bugfixing, performance optimizing and searching for memory leaks. The new 400 employee limitation is really (really) hard to optimize, but we're am getting closer to a solution. Fortunately there's some great news this week!

Improved UI for placing unassigned employees

Beta 22 will make it much easier finding the right employee when you have a lot of unassigned employees. The new table allows sorting and introduce a "Hired" column, making it easy to find the newly hired employee.

Beta 22 release date

It's finally time to announce the release date of Beta 22: March 15. If you have been following the Devlogs you probably know that Beta 22 will introduce a ton of changes and add a bunch of new features. This means I'm going to spend the remaining time until release on testing and fixing bugs. Therefore there won't be any Devlog next week.

Minor changes

Fixed bug causing employee not to quit if ignoring competitor offer.
Fixed bug causing employees with missing requirements not showing as flashing overlay.
Fixed two memory leaks causing lag in late-game.
Fixed bug causing merging competitors to fail or end prematurely.

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.

Do you have suggestions or ideas for the game? 
Check out our Conflux board.

That's it for this week! 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!
