Hi everyone, This week I've been putting in a lot of hours in the new roadmap. I hope to introduce it next week. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. Tons of new cool things to show!

The new citymap

We've been facing some problems making the new citymap suit all resolutions. Right now I'm waiting for Bruno to get back to me with some new assets. Once received the city-map should be all ready.

Missing transations!

I've uploaded a bunch of new Beta 24 strings for translation. Together with the city-map, this is the last thing we need before Beta 24 can be released. If you want to help out, we have missing translations for the following languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Chinese. We're also looking for language moderators. If you're 18+ years old and believe you have good grammar, please let me know, either here on Steam or in Discord :-) Click here to start translating!

Beta 25: AdBlockers

Adblockers will be introduced which will directly affect how many impressions is generated (and be monetized) for all ad features. Small websites will have a very low ad-blocker penetration as they havent yet been discovered by many ad-blocker programs. As the website gets more users, the more ad-blocker programs will register the site and start blocking ads.

AdBlock Obfuscator

The obfuscator will cover up your ads in messy Javascript code that makes it much harder for the AdBlockers to detect your ads. If you dont continue upgrading the obfuscator, it will be less efficient over time (as AdBlockers become smarter). The obfuscator is also the first time we see Research Points being used to upgrade a feature. 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?

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!
