Restart Steam to get it right away![/b] It's been 42 days since the last beta update. While Beta 29 isn't the biggest update, it delivers some important changes. One of these changes has been in the pipeline for more than a year! Let's jump right into it and see what's new. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28693489/70a17695ae1bb6781144e152e87fb0d77aeb030a.png[/img] [h1]CEO Backstory[/h1] The CEO's backstory allows you to select which skill your CEO had before becoming a CEO. You'll be able to choose between developer, designer, or manager. No matter which role you choose, the CEO will still be able to participate in recruitment. All you have to do is manually switch between his roles. The CEO is the first and only employee type that can handle multiple skills.

Both new hardware items are very expensive, but are also the most efficient seen so far. [h3]Fusion Server[/h3] Generates a lot of heat, but it's also the first server to produce all three types of throughput. [h3]Fusion Heat Transformer[/h3] Incredibly expensive but reduces temperature by a stunning -55 Celsius (-67 Fahrenheit).

It's not an in-game help system – it's a new enhancement feature you can add to your website. Adding the Help System will not only allow you to increase overall satisfaction (it counts as a regular feature), but it also greatly reduces the number of generated support tickets.

It will unlock both the Fusion Heat Transformer and the Fusion Server. The upfront payment is $28 million and the minimum daily budget is $1.2 million.

The most exciting ones are [list] [*] Employee Menu: Order by age added [*] Retirement warnings added [*] New achievements: "The Wave" & "Dangerous Future" [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28693489/70a17695ae1bb6781144e152e87fb0d77aeb030a.png[/img] [h1]Help us translate![/h1] Even though the community has been very busy translating Beta 29, there are still a couple of untranslated strings. The following languages are incomplete: Portuguese (BR), French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Turkish.
