Ding ding ding! Another Dev Byte for our Builders is out and this ones a doozy. Today we bring to you some exciting information about the Movie Scheduler and the Research Tree. So without any further delay, lets begin!
Movie Scheduler
A first-of-its-kind feature in a tycoon game, the Movie Scheduler forms the backbone of your cinema operations. After all, you cant run a cinema if you dont run anything IN the cinema, right? The Scheduler menu allows you to purchase movies and also set a time-table for your cinema using those movies.
Whenever you obtain new movies to showcase, either through progress or through research, they will appear in the catalogue section of the Scheduler menu. There, you can purchase these movies, one per cinema hall. Once purchased, you can schedule that movie anywhere on the timeline as you feel appropriate. You can schedule multiple movies in a single day as long as you have enough time slots.
But devs, what if I have more than one cinema hall? Well, every time you build a new cinema hall, you get a new timeline added to the Scheduler menu allowing you to run 2 different movie schedules for each day! But more on this later.
Research Tree
The Research Tree menu is your fundamental source of research and development, and hence progress. No matter which business, or businesses, you choose to explore and run, they can only get better with time AND research.
The research tree is unique for every business. In addition to that, a generic research tree exists too, to provide improvements and new features to your business empire as a whole. Each tree is split into branches and has various nodes on it. Some nodes may even split into further branches or end up merging 2 or more branches. Hence, the development path you take at the start dictates the direction of your business plan.
Each node on the tree can be purchased/unlocked using Research Points. Research Points can be earned by investing money into R&D. The more you invest, the more Points you obtain. Certain elements of your business can only be unlocked through the research tree and no amount of progress will grow your business if your research progress does not go hand in hand at the time.
And those are just 2 of our headliner features that will be gracing City Block Builder! A little sneak peek, these features will also be available for our closed Alpha! To hear more about our closed Alpha (its right around the corner), keep an eagle eye on the upcoming Dev Bytes!
