Update 12.1

Added: - Rotational Work. Good pay. 6 -month contract. No education required. Requires almost all free time and drastically increases stress. No career growth. - Holidays. Only if the character is enrolled to a higher education. On the summer and winter purple squares, "break" card appears, removing the time spent on education for 3 months and 1 month, respectively. Since it's not hardcoded, there are some nuances: - If the "holiday" square is skipped, there will be no breaks. - Education may end during the break, but the time saved will remain. - The same applies if the player decides to drop out. - Abbreviations for thousands and millions to k and m. Now, numbers like 100,000 are displayed as 100k, and 1,200,000 as 1.2m. This can be enabled via a checkbox in the currency settings, either at the start of the game or through the menu > Currency. - Game difficulty now affects salaries and businesses. Easy level: Salary +10%, Business +15% Medium level: No changes Hard level: Salary -10%, Business -15% Special level: Salary -20%, Business -30% Hardcore: Salary -30%, Business -50% - Limited the number of crypto-related events to 1-2 per year. Interface Improvements: If you click on the "Hourly Pay" and "Stress" lines in the balance, a window will open listing all related cards. Sorting has been added to this window, making it easy to calculate which activities are efficient and which are not. On the final chart, different life events are marked with vertical lines. Different colors have been added to event groups to make them easier to distinguish. Bug Fixes: Fixed the rapid growth of dividend stocks when playing with multiple characters. Various other bugs. Upcoming Plans: - End game scoring system - Multiplayer game testing

[ 2024-06-20 20:18:30 CET ] [ Original post ]


Big update released!

We're excited to release the new update. Here's a short breakdown of what's new. Exact Moves. Now you can move to the desired square at will. Exact moves are immediately available on the easy level. On the medium level, you need to study Planning, and on the hard level and above Motivation. Personal Residence. The concept of owning housing for rent and purchase has been added, in 3 options (modest, common, hi-end). The size of the housing affects stress depending of the size of the family. Dreams. Unique bonuses have been added for buying each dream at each difficulty level. Landing on the dream square increases mood regardless of purchase. Cryptocurrency. The concept of risk levels for crypto exchanges has been added. Now, when trading, there is a risk of losing a single transaction or the entire crypto wallet. Risk levels can be reduced through experience, training, and networking. Risks may change during the game and in crisis. You can see what affects the current risk level. in the stock interface. Events have been added that nullify the crypto for all players and temporarily increase risks in crypto. Stock Market. Events related to the stock market are applied instantly. Short sales are not possible when a crisis starts. Stress. The maximum mood now depends on the stress level. Stress-related and motivational workshops. Vacationing reduces stress for several months. Content. New expenses and routines have been added. Added options to add time on expense of personal and family time. A personal accountant, crypto consultant, and business mentor have been added. Sports partially compensate age time penalty. The birth of a child makes the character lose several TM skills. Car accidents with different insurance options have been added. Balance. Small business income bonuses in quests have been doubled. The cash penalty for lack of time is now displayed in the balance. The penalty increases by 50% for each level of difficulty starting from medium. 3 jobs max. If you write a successful book, royalties increase immediately. Interface. Up to 8 players. Increased both limits of currency setting values. Detailed card bonuses and penalties breakdown. Buttons for bank payment or loan issuance have been added to the bankruptcy window. Repeated offers on the news square are limited: when refusing one, all similar cards are not offered until the next character's birthday (sports, insurance, assistants, car, loans, borrowing, pyramid scheme, charity). A counter on the exchange and market buttons shows the number of open positions and active deals. End of the Game. Final game graphs redesigned. === Next to come: - Fix errors found by players after the release - Finish eng-game point system - Test the multiplayer we already made Support the developers by leaving a review, buying optionable in-app items (skins and city maps), or buying a mobile version (iOS and Android).

v12 Beta Testing Call

Were continue rewriting the game to make it fully compatible with planned online multiplayer. At the moment we need extensive testing, so we need you to play the game and bend it in all possible ways to find glitches! To request beta testing please apply to support@timeflow.ru Just to clarify - an online multiplayer isnt available yet, the new version has to be tested local as hotseat (or steam remote play). Also, there are no new features (yet). If we did all right, you basically wont find any differences from the release.

Patch 1.0.9

A regular update, fixing several minor issues.


[ 2022-09-15 06:54:28 CET ] [ Original post ]


Patch 11.0.8

A regular update that fixes different bugs and mistakes. Many bugs and mistakes were fixed thanks to the community reports. Although we rarely can personally reply to every single report, we still see them and act accordingly. Some reported errors were not technical issues, but rather misunderstandings of the game mechanics, so we added some additional explanation texts. We also managed to find a source of missing achievement problems. It's caused by the in-game method of achievement checking. Since there are 100 achievements, the process takes time, and depending on the hardware can be inefficient. We'll rewrite this method in the v12 version. If you wish to contribute to fixing issues, please make sure you mark "auto send errors" in the "game menu > settings", and report any encountered issues through "game menu -> report error".

August Update

Development news. Over the past month, we have been rebuilding the project. Rebuilding, or refactoring, has long been needed. Since the first release back in 2015, we've been adding more and more functions, that were not originally planned. Let's take at least the size of the database - in the very first version there were about 200 events with simple conditions, and now there are several thousand of them with complex, cross-trigger conditions. All this impacted stability and performance, plus it was bad for a true multiplayer online game. Wo what's the plan now? 1. Test the rebuild on iOS/Android. Technically, the game has changed a lot from the inside, but it should be more stable than previous versions. Hopefully, the test won't take long. 2. Add a series of features that did not make it to the 11th version: endgame scoreboard, more players, stock companies, and chitcoin bankruptcy (hey you cryptopunks!) 3. Content not included in the 11th version. Quests for real estate - affect the gameplay. New expenses - do not affect the game, but make the game a bit funnier for those who have memorized all the texts already. 4. The unjustified war crippled our income so unfortunately, we don't have the resources to hire professional translators, as was planned for 2022. So I guess we'll go with a crowdsourced translation solution somewhere here. The game has tons of texts, I guess it'll take a while. 5. Transfer the entire database from the game to the server to make updates easier. 6. Finally start making true online multiplayer (yaaay!). Given 1 and 4, it will be much easier. 7. Content editor. Most likely it will not be done beautifully with a GUI, but as a database that can be edited manually. Still an option to make your own content, right?

What'll be new in Timeflow v11?

The 11th version has been published some time ago on Android and iOS. With the help of our players, we polished it and fixed it, and it'll be released to Steam in a few days. Here you can see what to expect from the new version. [previewyoutube=M2p41OE7FR4;full][/previewyoutube] 1. Multiple choice - You can choose from different assets - Choose whom to hire, insurance, sports, car, etc. - TM-skill "Information" increases the number of options to choose from. 2. Work and career - You can look for a job yourself on the green cell "Opportunity" (auto job search is disabled) - Added part-time job (without career growth) - Career now has 6 tiers instead of 4 - Work experience required for promotion - Increased the minimum period between work events after obtaining a new position - New acquaintance for promotion - a fellow HR manager - All promotion requirements are no longer universal but are tied to career paths - Advanced training increases salary in only one career path 3.

Beware of crypto scammers!

Beware! Timeflow is NOT launching a crypto token! If you see anything about Timeflow Token aka TMGT Token, its a scam! Some people (who we dont know) are acting on behalf of Timeflow team in their attempt to launch and sell a new cryptocurrency token called TMGT. Our team had nothing to do with this scam. If you have participated in this fraud, please address to your local police/authorities to claim fraud.

New intn'l avatars

For an international release, we made an option to choose out of 3 ethnic groups. In addition to 16 European avatars, we made 15 new Latino/Black and 15 new Asian characters. What do you think guys? Do they look legit?

1.10 release + 1.11 announcement

Good news everyone we passed a 2000 positive reviews mark for Android, and 1000 for AppStore. AppStore reviews are divided by countries so unfortunately, its way less for each user but still an important milestone for us as developers. As a reminder, if you like the game you can leave a review and get a free mobile copy. And if you really like it and willing to support us, you can leave a review and buy a mobile copy. After all, not so many developers give a mobile game for free in addition to a PC one. So for us, this option is a way to promote the game, and your reviews help us A LOT. Join our facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/timeflowproject Or maybe we should use some other place for communication with gamers, please advise!

Whats new in 1.10:


+ Localization improved. We spent some time with a native English speaker to make the localization less broken haha. + Easy and medium levels now can refuse marriage and kids. With consequences, of course. + Job, Business, and Real Estate now increase stress. It'll be less fun to run 10 different assets at once. + The entire stress system is revised. + Now you can see what affects stress and other characteristics + Log window is draggable now (drag by the log top). + Easy deposit buttons. 50%, 100%, 0%, and so on. + Each game can now have its own currency * Numerous Bugfixes Some new features dont fully work with old savegames. You can still load an old savegame, but theres a chance a stress and mood system will stick to default numbers.

Whats planned in 1.11?


+ For international release: a choice between 3 ethnic groups of avatars. Current avatars will be in a Caucasian/White group. Two new avatar groups Asian and Latino/Black. + Advanced stock market. Buy and sell when you want. Right now it is being tested and we have a feeling that it slows down the pace when you can think on new stock actions every single turn. We definitely dont want to make Timeflow a stock market simulator. Were planning to keep the current simplified interface as is with an option to go advanced if your character took a specific stock market education. + Draw 2, keep 1 card feature. Very convenient for assets, work, gadgets, personnel, cars, insurances, sports. It should speed up the game process a little since therell be less time wasted on a specific card search. + To use this new feature, your character has to obtain a time management skill Information. Well make it available earlier in the game to make it more usable in the beginning (compared to as it now). + Hope to move job search to green Opportunity cell and place it next to Business, Real Estate, and Stocks.

New Map Process


Different stages of a new map making (not there yet). We'd love to also add European and Asian regions (just to look cooler you know) and add new avatars to make the game fit different regions. Let's see how sales allow our budget to do that. Click to see larger:

Soundtrack + Work in progress

Some highlights of our progress and the upcoming release. This is our last week of internal testing, now we only have one critical bug, public testing on Steam comes as soon as we fix it. And if that goes well, the mobile is next. BTW, if you haven't heard, you can still get a free mobile version if you publish a positive review on Steam and send us the proof at support@timeflow.ru On screenshots (these are just some of the tweaks, obvi):
Soundtrack. You've been asking since forever, and here it is from mp3 to lossless. If you want to support us, you can buy it (we'll be real happy). 80 minutes. For now, it's only available on the new Steam Soundtracks native player (but we may upload it somewhere else, too): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1284500

Dividends. How it works: Every company may or may not pay out dividends once a year. How much you get depends on how volatile the current company is. In the case of a short position, it is the player who pays the dividends. After the payment of dividends comes the ex-dividend date: a stock's price falls down and slowly rises back up. We also added a highly volatile cryptocurrency and dropped silver. You still can't buy any stocks at any time though (it'll come later).
Custom currency. You can fine-tune the numbers (raise or lower) and pick any currency symbol you like. This will NOT change the game balance, so this feature is purely visual. Maybe somebody wants to see his wage as $20/hour, not 100T as it right now.
New map(s). Still under construction. You can see the concept art on the screenshot. We have it in 3D, but can't show it just yet. We want to add multiple maps from various areas to make things interesting, but the cost of 3D art is ridiculously high for an indie game. We now get why pixel art and low poly are in. So, for now, we're trying to strike a balance between cost, speed, and quality. Every feature is a ton of game design, interface, coding, and UI tweaks. It goes something like this: come up with an idea, draw it, explain it, code it, test it, revise it, repeat x10, and only then turn it in and move on.

Progress Report November'19

Here you can see the upcoming character editor windows. The mechanics are based on the idea of "points", which can be used to buy different things for your character. If you lack on points, you can get more by making your character older, or taking more responsibility by having a family, or just get some bad habits. There are currently two limitations: you can't start the game with a negative amount of points, or not having enough time. In the progress of making the editor, we had to drop off the idea of changing the character's avatars as they age. The test results were not cool, time-consuming and expensive. Perhaps if the avatars were modular, generating in the game engine, it could be done, but for now we'll postpone this idea to the next project :D



[ 2019-11-08 07:57:06 CET ] [ Original post ]


Progress Report Fall'19

What are we doing now and why aren't there any updates? We've decided to change the way we release updates. Instead of many small patches, there's going to be a few major updates with multiple new features. So, here's what to expect: 1. Multiplayer Through trial and error, we've finally found an appropriate solution for an online multiplayer. The server's almost done, now we're working on the game client. Online gaming is a whole other world where you have to foresee millions of different scenarios while trying to eliminate cheaters. Shoutout to game developers, these guys work HARD. 2. Character Creator You will be able to customize your character. Each player will be granted a certain number of Starting Points they can spend on education, career level, starting capital, or many other useful things. If you don't have enough points, you can get more by willing to accept some responsibilities: having family and kids, helping out your parents. Bad habits and being older at the start will also rack up some points. We don't want to restrict you too much: if you want to create a character with a great career, loads of money, and all kinds of connections -- then so be it, but the difficulty will be considered as "Easy". 3. Aging One of the key changes. You have to win before you retire, and the older your character is, the less time you have. Besides, as your character grows older, you will have less free time at your disposal. The avatar won't be changing though, the current avatar style isn't so affordable and flexible for such a feature. 4. The age of family members (and more) At some point, children grow older and start to live on their own, so we're allowing you to cancel out your lack of free time as you age with reduced spendings on your children. Maybe they'll even start to help you out. This might work in some other cases, too, -- although, say, if you're a dog lover and your doggo goes to doggo heaven, you'll probably going to get another one at some point. 5. Tutorial and tips An interactive tutorial is a great way to attract new players. This idea sounds so simple, but somehow it's hard to implement and has eaten up a lot of our resources already (but we're not giving up just yet!). 6. Really working stock market So that you can buy or sell any stocks you want, and not just the ones you got randomly. Plus a portfolio to collect a large number of assets. We're not going to add options, bonds, or dividends yet, but will add cryptocurrency. The interface is done, next is the code. 7. Unforeseen expenses Many of you have expressed how ill-conceived it is to buy a cow you can't afford, figuratively speaking. Well, it's "a cow or major depression" type of situation. If your character is consistently sad, he or she may get depressed and will have to seek professional help. So it's either crying or paying, whichever one you like. Right now it's just a general idea, which we will test out and make sure that it doesn't lead to a generation of depressed millionaires who live on ramen noodles for 15 years to make it and get help later. Real life doesn't work like that, you're gonna end up either crazy or dead. 8. Achievements These are just for fun. Some will be visible, some hidden, depending on which ones will be easier to employ without spending too much. We're also working on achievements for Steam, Play Store, and App Store. 9. Final cutscenes To be honest, the Dream Fulfilled cutscenes have been ready for almost a year. We just haven't gotten around to actually adding them to the game. Also, we're not really sure, do we have to show them right after the purchase or in the end? If right away then you can see them without actually winning the game. Not cool. If in the end, that's just weird: you landed on the Moon at thirty, but saw it at sixty-five? Or made enough money for the space travel by thirty and waited for another thirty-five years to go? Weird. Surprisingly complicated game design issue. 10. Business quests We also really want to make business and real estate much more unpredictable than they are now. We've already scripted and added the chance cards, which present two new events, 2 to 3 choices, and two potential outcomes (so, 500! unique events overall). The main difference between already existing events is that there are different potential outcomes. We also want to add variable return on business, from losses to breaking even to profit. But to do that properly, we would have to rethink the whole system, which we obviously don't want to do. So, another game design issue. 11. Major changes There's the problem: the more features the game has, the sooner it starts to crumble under its own weight. This is why, after a certain amount of time, TF starts to lag on Android, and we have little idea how to fix it. We need to change the whole game engine, really. Although we want to do everything properly, we still can't change all at once. There are some ideas concerning TF 2.0. where we will use all our experience and all your suggestions. We'll think more about it as soon as we solve issues 1 to 10 :) All the best, Roman
