Hello folks! It's almost summer and along with it your vacations! Oh yes, I'm not planning a vacation! I've got way too much to do, and I've got to keep up the pace! Especially as it's City Game Studio's birthday this summer, so we'll have to work hard to come up with another quality update!
Anyway, this week I've been working on a lot of little things, including adding cheat code and redesigning the store to make it more visually appealing. I've also taken the time to optimize the game's panels, so that they load faster, and I've improved the tooltips to make it easier to understand what's going on! In short, if you try Steam's unstable branch, you're in for a real change of scene! I haven't yet had time to rework the game-over. By that I mean the game's behavior. I've read your comments and they're excellent. My favorite remains the release of a game that's almost ready to give the player a chance. Otherwise, I think I'll give you a choice. Let's put it this way: The company's finances are in dire straits. The bank refuses to lend us money because we're no longer bankable. Well, I've got several options for you, although I know you're not going to like them: - A competitor offers you $150,000,000 to buy your console. It stays on the market, but no longer belongs to you. - Investors are interested in your digital store, and offer to buy it back for $500,000,000, but you will no longer be allowed to operate a dematerialized store. - Grantendo is very interested in your game engine, and offers you $50,000,000. If you accept, the engine will become private and will no longer belong to you. The games you've published using this engine will remain yours. So, I think that offering this kind of choice to players will give them a second chance, while making them pay a relatively high price. If you have any other ideas in this vein, post them in the comments, I'll read you and take the best promises! In the meantime, take care of yourselves! Xavier aka Binogure
