Startup Company

Startup Company is a business simulation sandbox game where you’re the CEO of a new company. Your job is to build your very own website and compete against the largest tech giants on the planet!

Hi everyone, I had some great progress on Beta 29 recently. Everything is coming along much faster than expected. I even hope testing will begin at the end of next week. I'll keep you updated in the next devlog.

Basically you get to select which skill your CEO had before becoming a CEO. This will allow him to act as a Developer, Designer or Manager. He'll still be able to do recruitment. All you have to do is manually switch between his roles. As you can see below, I added a small icon for that.

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 (as it counts like a regular feature), but it also greatly reduces the amount of generated support tickets.

You can now order by age in the employees menu.

You now get a warning 1 year before an employee will retire.

We categorize them as "Fusion hardware". Bruno did his best to make it look as badass as absolutely possible. He nailed it, don't you think? ːschappyː [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28693489/09439fb9cd6b8be1566c507a77de9b3a019a79b7.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28693489/70a17695ae1bb6781144e152e87fb0d77aeb030a.png[/img] [h1]That's all for this week[/h1] Also remember I'm continuously uploading new strings for translation to [b]Localizor[/b].
