Fly Corp News

In our game, color coding is necessary to quickly navigate between lots of connected cities and planes.
However, not everyone can distinguish some colors. This update is dedicated to those people, and it should make it easier to see how and airport of plane is filled up with passengers. Now you can select one of color blindness options in Settings. We're waiting for your feedback regarding these settings!





Here are some other changes:
- Added an option to enter texts for different languages.
- Now author is displayed near scenario's name (only for new scenarios).



- Fixed a bug with timer sound in custom scenarios.
- Fixed a bug in custom scenarios when, if win condition is to unlock countries each n minutes, the country is chosen randomly and there is no initial country selected, no country for unlock will be displayed in top-right corner. Now the initial country will be chosen randomly.
- Now, if the scenario was edited and the player has save file from the previous version of this scenario, this save file will be deleted.
- Added confirmation prompt for rewriting scenario file in Editor.
- Added confirmation prompt for deleting scenarios.
- Fixed a bug causing speed of planes to be rounded to 0,03.
- Fixed "Domestic flights" scenario. The number of passengers is now correct and they are only flying inside their own countries.
- Other minor fixes.

We're still improving the game with hope that we would be able to make you enjoy the latest updates even more. If you like the game, please post a review on Steam - we'll be happy :)

Challenge Editor for Steam version of Fly Corp is available, but that's only the beginning. Of course, not all of its potential is fully utilized because it's not very easy to share the scenarios. In a future update we'd like to implement uploading scenarios to the server, rating them and other functionality. But this is not the easiest task, so we'll have to wait a little. We'll release some more interesting updates beforehand.

1) On this week, we'll release an update for Challenge Editor. You will be able to add texts for any language - the selected translation will be shown to players. If the player has English set as game language, English text will be displayed. If German, German will be displayed if it's present. Also, we'll fix some of the bugs. As always, the full list is coming along with the update itself.

2) Daily scenarios. Each day will feature its own unique scenario. It will be available for only one day. Of course, there will be leaderboard for each one. As we wrote, you can send us your scenario as a candidate for Daily section!

3) Settings for color-blind people. In our game, colors are playing a crtitical role in gameplay. It makes it almost impossible to play for color-blind people. We've been planning to fix this problem for a long time and finally, we'll fix it. Maybe, we'll post an article about this problem and how we prepared this update for release.

4) Patches and bugfixes and routing system rework. Now some players have problems with performance when building routes if there are many cities are unlocked and many routes are created. We'll fix the problem by implementing the all-new route searcher.

Of course it's not everything we have in plans. We'll tell you more in later posts.

[h2]We're happy to release the biggest update in Fly Corp's history - Challenge Editor Beta![/h2]

You can now create your own scenarios using in-game Editor. And even if you're not up to creating challenges, but you really like completing challenges, now there will be much more of them thanks to other players creating them.

We should warn you that this editor is in open beta, and bugs are possible. Interface is also in a very early stage of development. However, all official scenarios were created in this editor, which means that you can create scenarios using it.

With the Editor, we're posting one of the scenarios created there. It's called Southern Africa, and you need 11 randomly chosen countries (6 minutes for each). You can try to edit it and see what happens.

The guide on using Challenge Editor can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2813470098

Also, we created a new topic to share scenarios: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1372530/discussions/0/3382778848127924446/

The final version of Editor is coming together with the release of Fly Corp closer to the end of the year. Also, we're planning to create a simpler way to play and share challenges: through the server. In the future, you will be able to quickly upload scenarios to the server. Other players will download, complete, compete for a place in Leaderboard, and rate the scenarios.

Now we're waiting for your feedback. We understand that some things in the Editor and some game aspects are not obvious, and some things need to be done in a way of trial and errors. We'll try to improve it in the future.

We hope you'll like what we've been doing for so long, and Editor will begin a new era for Fly Corp.

We're glad to tell you that internal testing of Challenge Editor is going on without critical problems, and we'll make this beta open before the end of this month.

You can read the following article to know more about the Editor: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1372530/view/5654813342042542864
Releasing this Beta will be the biggest update in the game's history yet. We'll create a separate topic in Steam Discussions and a separate channel on our Discord server for sharing and downloading challenges made by you, players. We'd like to make it possible to upload challenges on a server so that you can download and upload them without exiting the game. So, if you don't want to make your own challenges, you'll still have the content to play.

If editor will be popular, we'll gradually extend its functionality. It all depends on your support.
Besides the Editor, we're working on fixing especially annoying bugs and rewriting code of the project (a quick reminder: we decided to re-write the game almost from scratch. For example, the new version uses much faster and reliable algorithm of route search). Another functionality to implement is the new version of World map (we hope to make it scrollable from both sides, as you asked). However, this is going to take quite a lot of time, so the scheduled arrival of reworked version is this atumn, closer to the release of the game.

But we have other plans to bring into life beforehand: improve saving system and optimize performance when creating new routes on the late game stages, when there is a huge number of routes.
We read your messages and try to adjust out plans in accordance with your desires. We might not always succeed in making things as quick as we would like to, but all noticeable and useful bugreports and requests are put in our task tracker.

Below you can see a picture which will be displayed if event "Show message to player" is triggered by Editor - creator of the challenge will have the possibility to show any text to player so that he sees it in the specified moment of gameplay. If you combine it with other events, like adding or subtracting money, unlocking countries or cities, you can create interesting situations. Maybe, you would like to create a story-driven challenge? As always, feel free to write whether you are going to try yourself in creating Challenges in the comments (maybe, you've already got some ideas about them?)



Thanks for attention, and have a good flight!
