Good morning, everyone, Version 0.30.0 has been deployed yesterday but I wanted to describe the biggest changes with you. This version introduces new ways to monetize your games. You can sell your games in a conventional way, i.e. with a purchase price or a monthly subscription, and now you can make free to play games and get paid through advertising or microtransactions. The revenues are lower, but your fanbase will grow faster.
Lootboxes, microtransactions and advertising
Beside to advertising revenue, you can also add microtransactions. Three types of microtransactions are available. Cosmetics, which long-time players enjoy. New players love power boosts. And then there are the lootboxes. You decide what's in these lootboxes. You can put in power boosts as well as cosmetics.
More charts
In order to help you make your games more profitable, a new financial details panel has appeared. It allows you to keep track of your players, but also to know how much advertising or microtransactions have brought you back. As usual I describe here only the biggest changes, if you want to know more, you can either launch the game or read the Changelog. I hope you will like this update, and join us on discord to talk about it! Cheers Binogure

- City Game Studio GNU/Linux [524.68 M]
January 1975, you have created your video game company. You are renting a tight place that allows you to develop your first game. Quickly, your games are successful and you already have to move, but it is up to you to cross the city to pick up your next local. In the blink of an eye you are hiring artists to improve the visual aspect of your games. Next came developers and then testers. But a problem remains, even if your games are brilliants, you don't have enough fans to self-publish a big game to make your studio profitable. You will have to turn to video game editors who will carve out the lion's share. Combinating successes is the only way of getting rid of the publishers. Furthermore you will be able to publish your own publishing contracts. Then you will then be ready to dominate the market and buy back your competitors.
Each game is unique
Maps and studios are procedurally generated. Combined with random events and customizable studios, you will rediscover the game with each new game.
Assign the best studio
Browse the cities and choose the location of your next studio. As my uncle said "we do not hire new talents with vinegar !"
Furnish your studios carefully
Everyone is not a studio designer, yet every piece of furniture has its place in your studio, and can have an influence on the history of your company.
Publish, hire, repeat
Each game is unique, but over time new generations of consoles come out. You cannot create a bestseller alone. You have to hire new talents that will help you creating the perfect game
Game development
The development of the game is broadcast on twitch using the channel binogure.
