Performance and white-screen bug

As announced earlier the performance of SC will be greatly improved in Beta 24. This last week I've been struggling to make the update compatible with all setups/computers. A lot of the testers have been getting a white-screen crash which has taken up a lot of my time. Fortunately it looks like it's all sorted out now. Performance is still way way better compared to Beta 23.

Introducing Localizor: Now in open beta

This is a big one! I'm finally happy to announce that all of you (the community) can finally contribute by translating Startup Company to your native language. The tool is still very much in beta and missing lot of quality of life improvements, but it works! To start translating, go to the following URL and register: Startup Company on Localizor Localizor is a brand new translation tool from Hovgaard Games. Right now we're testing the tool exclusively on Startup Company, but as the tool has matured we want to invite other game developers to use it.

We need testers!

Do you want to help out testing Beta 24? Then all you have to do is go check out the pinned message in the #testing channel on our Discord server. All help is much appreciated! That's it for this week! Best, Jonas [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!
