The Executive – Patch Notes [1.0.6]

📢 Dear Executives!

Today’s update focuses on mainly bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and balancing tweaks based on your feedback. Let’s dive in!

[h3]🔧 BUG FIX:[/h3]

Potential Softlock Fix – Resolved an issue where opening multiple UI screens in the same frame could cause a softlock, preventing interaction.
Starting Loan Repayment – Paying off your loan early? Now, you’ll only be debited the remaining balance instead of the full loan amount.
Premium Features Accounting Error – Premium features selected during production planning step were mistakenly charged twice—this has been fixed.
Provisional Budget Estimate – Premium features are now accurately included in the film’s provisional budget at every production step.
Box Office Performance Screen Fix – The clapperboard display now correctly includes premium feature costs in the final budget.
Third-Party Distributor Duplication – Fixed a rare issue where players could receive duplicate deals from the same distributor.
Achievement Fixes – Three achievements (Hit Film, Big Budget, and Marketing Guru) were previously unobtainable—they should now unlock correctly.

[h3]✨ QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:[/h3]

Box Office Results UI – We understand that seeing post-theatrical losses highlighted in bright red was frustrating, especially since relying on ancillary revenue for profitability is standard once you're past the early game. To provide clearer feedback on your film’s performance and ensure you don’t feel discouraged, we've added more granularity to the visuals. The color coding now aligns with other parts of the game, showing how much of your total spending (movie budget + marketing) still needs to be recouped. We hope this more positive presentation helps you better assess your Box Office performance!

[h3]⚖️ BALANCING:[/h3]

A Twilight fan pointed out that Romance + Vampire was incorrectly considered a bad combo. They were right—this has been adjusted to reflect a more accurate synergy. 🧛❤️

Thank you for your continued support—we love hearing your feedback! 🎬✨
