Hello!
I am BACK!
It's been a few months since I haven't published an update on the demo, or actually even worked a lot on it, but it was for the best. As I explained in [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2146380/view/4529024222460953609?l=english]the DevBlog about the Steam Next Fest and the game future[/url], the demo release and Steam Next Fext were exhausting and I needed to rest. I eventually took more time than expected, I have been able to think about other things and work on them as well and now I'm back to writing some updates on the demo and seeing where it leads :)
[h1]Changelogs:[/h1]

[/list]
[h1]Known issues:[/h1]
[list]
[*] The MacOS version won't work because of an external issue, it has been disabled temporarily (it's still in the Webkit team's hands :/)
[*] The "maximum amount" displayed on the global market may include in-transit resources, which may make it wrong by up to 5 units
[*] Steam overlay doesn't work
[*] Tutorial needs to be reworked
[*] We need to prevent the factory from infinitely growing asap, and it's planned in the current set of updates (electricity consumption, employee gauge, and dynamic market prices will be needed)
[*] Multiple places in the game need tooltips or more information to clarify what you can do (resources icon in the market, machines in the bottom bar, ...)
[*] The auto-linking between machines and/or storage is still pretty dumb and needs improvements (and a way for you, the player to override this choice!)
