Bank Account & Renaming Company Update
This update adds the "Bank Account" screen and "Rename Company" screen to the menu system.
The "Rename Company" screen is fairly self-explanatory and allows you to set your shipping company's name.
The "Bank Account" area logs all your transactions so you can see how much you are getting paid for delivering things and what you are spending your money on!
Both of these areas are now stored into the save game system.
Other Updates...
1. Tweaked the "Free Play" start so that all boats are automatically purchased at the start and placed in the "Your Boats" area ready to go.
2. Moved to a proper currency system to store money values. This may cause issues with previous saves.
3. Fixed the clamping of buoyancy which was causing some of the larger boats to sink!
4. Minor button name changes on the Menu System.
This completes the "boring" menu updates for the moment!
Next week I will be working on the "Job Board" area which will generate random missions to carry various cargo using rented boats. This will allow new players to try out various boats and discover new ports while as they get to grips with the game and is a stepping stone before purchasing your own boats (which, at a later date, will require fuel and maintenance to keep running).
Hopefully I will be able to drop in a new boat next week too - probably some kind of smaller starting cargo vessel.
