Learning Factory News

Not all heroes wear capes. Come to think of it, not all of them wear clothes at all. Our robots usually wear no clothes (doing it with pride, too), but their part in building a better future for cats and humans is a very important one! It is our Cat Store Brobot Sales Managers, our Data Storages and Linear Regression machines that make KOTOVOD tick and collect and process data to fuel our very improtant research. And this week, their firmware has gone through a major update to ensure top notch performance on their never-ending duty!

On the other hand, our cat scientists surprisingly wear clothes at times, but their work is even more important and heroic. It was them who were living days with all work and no play with their favorite yarn balls, to make sure this data science breakthrough was even possible. Eternal glory to their heroic deeds!

And then, there are also human engineers, building all that stuff, planning, collecting resources, establishing production chains and doing other less fancy, but also kinda important work. You guys are ok, too.

Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!

KOTOVOD is not just a factory to make cats happier (although most time it's exactly what it is): it is also a hub of knowledge about cats and machine learning! That is why, starting from today, a comprehensive wiki is available to all Learning Factory engineers. In that wiki, you will find all the basic information about how machine learning is applied in the game and in real life back on Earth.

That knowledge will come in very handy, as more and more cats are flowing into Cat Stores through the renewed Cat Gates. Where do they come from? We might never know. Who created that Gate? We might never know as well. We sure do know how to make it even bigger, because cats deserve to be living in abundance and to start living like that, they need to visit KOTOVOD and stuff, specifically engineered and designed to make them happy! Glory to science!



[h2]Version 0.7.9 Released[/h2]

• In-game wiki added, telling about machine learning (and other stuff) in game vs in real life
  
• New price setting mechanics: you can now fine tune prices per goods per different types of cats
  
• Improved tutorials
  
• Pillow maker animated
  
• New and animated Cat Gate
  
• Data gathering is now longer available as a shop mod. Instead, shops are gathering data automatically and it doesn't influence the sales anymore
  
• Bug fixes, interface improvements
  

[h3]Warning: Saves from older versions will not be working with this one. If you want to keep playing with older version, select a separate '0.7.8' branch in the game's properties in your Steam library[/h3]

Any KOTOVOD engineer is familiar with the looks of a cat portal — that mysterious gate which brings thousands of cats with pockets full of cash to the Learning Factory stores. Where do they come from? Perhaps, we’ll never know!

What we can do is make it so they would appear in style! Currently we have 2 options for the next version of Cat Portal, and we encourage you to let us know, which one you think looks better!

[h3]Option 1[/h3]


[h3]Option 2

Everyone knows that felines and humans have had darker pages in their mutual history. Sometimes it was about some tiger occasionally munching on some expendable human. But most frequently it were the humans who were harassing defenceless cats for looking too suspicious.

Fortunately, these grim times are over now. Even more fortunately, humans are now aware that although cats do not possess any kind of magic (which, honestly, would be kinda cool) they do carry around their infinite wisdom. And thanks to the magic of science, humans can make it up for centuries of kicking cats around. The time of KOTOVOD has come!

This week brings at least one more impressive piece of machinery to make your cats feel special: meet the glorious Pillow Maker, which, perhaps not surprisingly, produces pillows of exquisite quality to roll on. In order to make sure that there's enough cloth for making these luxurious items, Cotton Collectors have been redesigned for more efficient production.

Luxury stock attracts luxurious customers: rich and elite cats have been spotted on Learning Factory campus, looking (and finding!) the most extravagant and fashionable goods. And this is but the beginning! Thanks to the work of KOTOVOD engineers, cats will thrive in abundance!
