Timeflow News

Multiplayer game: click on the player's avatars above the log to see their info. Bugfixes.

We experience a multiplayer game load error. The next update will fix this and add a multiplayer autosave feature.

A large family now helps with networking. Stock and crypto events occur less often, and there is an increased chance of getting charity events.

Multiplayer: now you can view your balance and stat cards during other players turns.

Fixed errors when skipping turns and data sync.

More fixes will be published after Jan 5th.

Happy new year!

Multiplayer game is available in the just released 13th version.

Saving and loading in the multiplayer game:
1. All players have to authorize before starting
2. Only the host can save and load
3. To load the game, the same players should leave the existing game and join the new lobby made by the same host. The host has to click Load button.

How to find games and players:
- Create a public lobby
- Join one of existing public lobbies
- Use Steam chat to cooperate
- Or discord https://discord.gg/yWWJZD6zTT

Added:

- Rotational Work.
Good pay. 6 -month contract. No education required. Requires almost all free time and drastically increases stress. No career growth.

- Holidays.
Only if the character is enrolled to a higher education. On the summer and winter purple squares, "break" card appears, removing the time spent on education for 3 months and 1 month, respectively. Since it's not hardcoded, there are some nuances:
- If the "holiday" square is skipped, there will be no breaks.
- Education may end during the break, but the time saved will remain.
- The same applies if the player decides to drop out.

- Abbreviations for thousands and millions to k and m.
Now, numbers like 100,000 are displayed as 100k, and 1,200,000 as 1.2m. This can be enabled via a checkbox in the currency settings, either at the start of the game or through the menu > Currency.

- Game difficulty now affects salaries and businesses.
Easy level: Salary +10%, Business +15%
Medium level: No changes
Hard level: Salary -10%, Business -15%
Special level: Salary -20%, Business -30%
Hardcore: Salary -30%, Business -50%

- Limited the number of crypto-related events to 1-2 per year.

Interface Improvements:
If you click on the "Hourly Pay" and "Stress" lines in the balance, a window will open listing all related cards. Sorting has been added to this window, making it easy to calculate which activities are efficient and which are not.

On the final chart, different life events are marked with vertical lines. Different colors have been added to event groups to make them easier to distinguish.

Bug Fixes:
Fixed the rapid growth of dividend stocks when playing with multiple characters.
Various other bugs.

Upcoming Plans:
- End game scoring system
- Multiplayer game testing
