Fly Corp News

We released another patch that fixes known issues and improves overall game stability.

[h2]What's new:[/h2]
- Updated all scenario previews in the Menu. Previous ones were made long time ago, with a different map appearance


- Fixed the operation of the cost change coefficient for each subsequent country in scenarios
- Fixed a bug where unlocking random cities in custom scenarios stopped working
- Fixed a bug where you could endlessly sell planes in Antarctica and thus earn a huge amount of money


- Fixed the layout of some windows in 4:3 resolutions
- Fixed the display of Free Mode statistics
- Fixed a bug with incorrect calculation of the number of points awarded for the remaining time at the end of the Discover the World" mode
- Fixed problems with changing localization in the save menu
- Fixed a bug where loading a saved game could reset the random city unlock timer

If you find any problem in the game - please let us know so that we can fix it promptly. This will make our favorite game even better!

Our studio has projects of different genres and themes in its portfolio. But our largest and most highly rated games are dedicated to transport: buses, trains and airplanes. Today, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Fest starts on Steam. We are participating with three main games:

About buses: Bus World. This is not another bus driver simulation game, but a unique experience in which you will face natural and man-made disasters. Although for lovers of quiet trips and scheduled flights, the game will also be able to please, because it has a Free Mode!

About airplanes: Fly Corp. This minimalistic, but extremely addictive transport strategy has already managed to charm the hearts of players from all over the world. Hop in and try to create a successful transport network!

About trains: Metro Simulator 2. The game boasts detailed recreations of real Metro stations and tunnels, as well as a realistic train control system.

If you are already familiar with one of our games, we invite you to try out the others, because all of them have generous discounts.



Enjoy your trips!

We continue to work not only on new updates for Fly Corp, but also on a new game in the same vein. It's called Check Inn:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2741390/Check_Inn/

The update is really important, so those who have already completed the demo are invited to play again. The gameplay really feels different now.

The most important thing is that we have added service rooms. That is, any guest who stays at the hotel for more than 3 nights may want:

• Food delivery from the kitchen to their room. Accordingly, the hotel must have at least one kitchen.
  
• Washing their dirty clothes. In this case, the guest leaves a basket with dirty clothes in the hallway, and the porter must take it to the laundry. There, the clothes are loaded into the washing machine (or machines). When the washing is finished, the porter takes the clean clothes back to the room.
  
• Take a steam bath in the sauna. The guest themselves goes by elevator to the floor where the sauna is located and occupies one of the rooms in it for a while. One room - one guest.
  

As you can see, a new important role has been added to the hotel - the porter. They can carry two items on their carts: food, dirty or clean laundry. If you see that one porter can no longer cope with the delivery, you can hire a few more.

Each of the service rooms can be upgraded. For example, in the kitchen, you can increase the speed of cooking, their quality, capacity (affects the number of ready meals that the porter can pick up at any time).


We also added the ability to zoom the camera in and out. This can be done using the mouse wheel. And you can now move the camera to the side using the arrows on the keyboard or the WASD keys.
Due to the mentioned changes, the entire demo version level has undergone a serious rebalance. Please let us know about your opinion on this update. Did you like the fact that the gameplay in the game is becoming more profound? As always, we read all messages and try to respond to them.


We remind you that the best way not to miss the release of the game is to add it to your Wishlist. This way, you will receive a message by email at the time of release.

We have released another small update that improves the quality of the game and fixes some bugs.

[h3]List of changes:[/h3]
- Fixed the bug when upgrading an airport from the statistics screen gave twice as few infrastructure points as upgrading it from the map.
- Arrows pointing at overcrowded cities (with camera panning to overcrowded cities disabled) have been removed from the Game Over screen.
- Fixed the logic of random events in scenarios. Now, if the "Random event trigger interval" is zero, the "First random event time" and "Time before showing message with the consequence of the choice taken in event" parameters are not active and greyed out.
- Fixed the timer for events that have a lifespan. Now it indicates the correct time until the next event appears, even if it is called not by the interval, but earlier, by the timeline in the scenario editor
- Fixed the bug that caused the pop-up of a city or route to close when a new territory is unlocked
- Fixed the assignment of target territories in the "Discover the World" mode. Now territories bordering through the Pacific Ocean will not be considered as neighbors.

As you can see, although we have already started preparing for the next big update, we also do not forget to release patches that improve the quality of the game.

Thank you for playing Fly Corp!



As always, we invite you to our Discord server to discuss this update - http://discord.gg/invite/9eHyYap and to subscribe to our page on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/developer/kishmish.

Today we will share our plans: what we are going to work on in the coming months. As always, we would like to hear your opinion on these ideas.

[h3]New monthly game modes[/h3]

Currently, the game has daily scenarios, but of course there is not an infinite number of them and after some time they inevitably repeat. We would like to add variety by adding monthly modes to the game (that is, those that are available for one month and then change to another one). For example:
- A game mode in which passengers from everywhere want to fly to one specific city. This city is selected every N minutes, so you will constantly have to monitor the altering direction of the passenger flow.
- A game mode in which new cities can be unlocked by the player themselves. There are two options (we have not yet come up with which one is more interesting, but we may implement both): a random city opens when the player presses a button; the player themselves selects from a bunch of cities on the map (marked in muted gray) the one they want to include in the game, and only after that passengers will start gathering there.
- Speedrun. A variation of "Discover the World", but the main task will be to complete it in time. Accordingly, the main parameter in the leaderboard will be completion time, not the number of points scored.

These are just some of our ideas regarding monthly game modes. If players especially like one of them, we will make it available on a permanent basis or repeat it as part of the monthly schedule.

We also plan to work on optimizing the game and improving pathfinding algorithms. In fact, both tasks are intertwined and require an integrated approach. Such improvements can take many months of hard work, so we are not ready to name exact ETAs yet.

[h3]DLC with the United States of America[/h3]

We expect to make a DLC dedicated to the USA as a separate product. Firstly, this is logical, since it will be necessary to create a separate map, scenarios, balance and change the logic of some game processes. Secondly, this way we will get financial opportunities to further support the game (see the above-described new modes and work on optimization/improvement of algorithms).


[h3]What to expect from the expansion?[/h3]

We would like to implement the ability to unlock each existing state, and make a unique visual representation of each of them. Probably, we will also have to rework the parameters of the aircraft capacity (and maybe even add helicopters?), change the balance of the game in general. As in the original game, we would like to have both the "Unlock all States" mode and Scenarios in which various unusual situations would be played out.

It is important for us to know your opinion. What do you think about the above plans? Please write your comments: we read all of them, and, if necessary, try to respond. You can also discuss the news on our Discord server: http://discord.gg/invite/9eHyYap
