Hello!

Extortion will be 4 years old next week !

I've been working on some quality of life fixes today to change my mind from working on Manufactur'inc demo, my factory management game.

Lots of things we talked about in the Steam Forum, on Discord and in early october IRL convention (my first one!).

Changes:

• #1822 - Handle ~ and $PWD when navigating in folders / opening files
• Fix save delete image on small screens
• #1823 - When restoring a save it sometimes miss informations
• #1820 - SCP should handle multiple arguments and download them all
• #1775 - You are not able to go in the parent directory of "/" anymore
• #1773 - Autocompletion doesn't work with clearLogs command
• #1660 - User shouldn't be able to type while commands are running
• #1659 - When a user doesn't exist, passwordBruteForce shouldn't reply "Password found: ?" but an error
• #1658 - Fullscreen/Windowed modes
• #649 - Copy/Paste (select then CTRL + C to copy, CTRL + V to paste)
• [u]Developer side:[/u] Update lots of technical dependencies
  

Hello there!
One month ago, on Github , one of you submitted a draft to translation extortion to Simplified Chinese. I am extremely happy people take this time to translate the game into their language, so I took time to (try to) review everything and improve the translation system to have a qualitative version.

This update carries a stable version of this simplified Chinese version as well as the new translation system.

Wait! I found a bug. How do I give feedback?

• On Discord

Hello there!
One month ago, on Github , one of you submitted a draft to translation extortion to Simplified Chinese. I am extremely happy people take this time to translate the game into their language, so I took time to (try to) review everything and improve the translation system to have a qualitative version.

I already applied this version to the Store page and achievements, but I am now here to ask players (you!) for help with the game itself.
Since I had to change lots of stuff, this specific update will also impact French, English, and Swedish versions in addition to this new Simplified Chinese version.

So, what am I asking? Download the beta version and launch a new game (this is important, it won't affect already done actions in-game), and play the game. If you notice any issues with the text formatting or content, I'd love to hear from you before I release this update.

So, how to play beta?

• Restart your Steam client
• Go into game settings via the gear icon on the top right
• switching branch to "beta"
• Wait for the update
• Play!

Hello everyone !

Almost 3 years after Extortion release and a year and a half after Alchemistry release, I'm happy to announce that I will release a new Steam Game !

Manufactur'inc is a company and industry abstract management game. That means that you will have to grow, blueprint, optimize, and control your company to reach your objectives and compete with other players.

But achieving financial success won't be the sole purpose of the game since you will be able to make choices about ecological impact, worker happiness and a lot of other things as well !

You can check out Manufactur'inc on Steam here:https://store.steampowered.com/app/2146380/Manufactur_inc/
If you're interested by the game, please wishlist and follow the game page !
You can also join us on Discord at https://discord.gg/c8aARey !

And of course, I will continue to update existing games with new features every few months for some time :)

Thanks !
Elanis

Hello !

As you can see on Steam right now, recommanded prices have been updated by Valve for developers.

Immediatly with theses recommanded prices, I adjusted price of both Dysnomia games to keep the same euro price.

What does that mean ?

Most prices will fluctuate between -15% and +20%:
- US Dollar prices lowered by 17% to 4.99$ (-1$)
- British pound prices lowered by 11% to 4.29 (-0.5)
- Canadian dollar prices lowered by 3% to 6.49$ (-0.2$)
- Russian ruble increased by 29% to 200 (+46)
And so on

You can see price variations on SteamDb by selecting your currency: https://steamdb.info/app/1299430/

Have fun !

Hi !

I'm glad to announce my future game, called Alchemistry ! It's a puzzle and less niche game than Extortion and I hope you'll like it.

Check it out at:
