Hi everyone! Today we are happy to present to you a new update for DevLife with the last skill tree - Desktop Applications! You can now choose from 25 new skills and start your carrier in developing programs for personal computers! Alongside it, we fixed found bugs and changed the game's balance, especially in the later stages. You can read the full changelog below.
Previously we announced that the next update is going to have a set of new furniture for the Desert Office location, but unfortunately, our 3D Artist still didn't receive his motherboard from the service center so the plans changed. We hope we will be able to release it soon, but we can't promise any exact dates as it is beyond our control. If you find any new bugs or have suggestions about the game, you can leave them at our Discord server or on mestoegames.com/bugsreport ;)
