Hello folks! As promised, we are releasing our latest build as of right now. We plan on having a rather high update frequency (about every other day, next build is planned for Monday) until the game is stabilized in a way that it is enjoyable for you folks, this will mean adding more scenarios for you to enjoy, ironing out some rough edges we have been made aware of and so on. Anyways, as for the release today, here is the summary:

• Reworked scenario choice
• Updated Laptop graphics
• Fixed some texting issues
• Deactivated accidents and breakdowns in the tutorial
• Fixed several tutorial issues
• Fixed control area (bottom left) for worldmap and headquarters
• Added 5 new scenarios and fixed the first one (is now on position 5)
• Fixed worldmap oilfield window, which makes it possible to buy more oilfields and new region licences
• Turned off clouds
• Turned off SSAO
• Turned off Free Game button, as it linked to a seriously outdated version of it

I turned of SSAO for the time being because it didn't add all too much quality, but made a lot of problems, as can be seen in one of the screenshots around here. Please, if you have anything you want to tell us, any suggestion, any annoyance, anything you dislike about the game or want improved, don't hesitate and tell us! We went for early access to get your feedback, and we feel that with this build we addressed at least part of your concerns, but I'm sure there is plenty more, so go ahead and hit us with it! :) As for our plans, after stabilizing we want to add some more features, but we'd like to have your input on those. I'll be happy to discuss them as soon as we enter that phase, but you are of course free to bring up your own suggestions!
