Hello! Work on the Steam Workshop update is going nicely, and for the last couple of days I've been working on improving various aspects of the game, and making a new tutorial. This tutorial is not harsh in any way, unlike the current one. The current tutorial will remain, but has been renamed to "Introduction". The new tutorial consists of 3 parts (basics of construction, employees, and projects), and you can start any part at any time, so that in case you missed something, then you can simply start a specific part of it and play through it again. With this new tutorial, think of the tutorial that came with the 1.0 release as a final exam of the things you've learned in the new one. Another new addition is the ability to control the amount of pedestrians on the streets. So in case you're having performance issues, or if you don't like the visual noise that they bring, then you can simply reduce the amount of pedestrians, or remove them altogether. Prior to this update, the amount of pedestrians out on the streets was 200, with the Workshop update it has been reduced down to 50, and the option allows you to further reduce, increase, or completely remove the pedestrians. On the gameplay side of things, genre-theme matches now affect the review rating of games. Now, along with boosting the game sales, it also boosts the review ratings themselves, which means that picking a good genre-theme combo will be more beneficial than it was before, and will make up for some short-comings of your game when it comes to the quality itself. Another thing that was changed is the distribution of review ratings: the better a game is, the lower the lowest possible rating a review can roll is (for example, previously a game worth a 9/10 rating could get 7/10, now the lowest score a 9/10 game can get is 8/10, and that is only if the game's rating is barely over the 9.0 mark) The 'develop' branch has been updated with the changes mentioned here, and your feedback on the new tutorial would be very appreciated. So if you'd like to help out in that regard, just start up the game, play through the tutorial, and let me know whether there's anything that is in need of improvement. Thanks for reading!
