GearCity News

Greetings Everyone,

Yet another small bug fix update this time around. It contains fixes for a pair of exploits, edge cases, a medium-sized bug, and a few little bugs.

Unless anything major pops up, I am taking a break from GearCity until sometime next year to focus 100% on my next game, AeroMogul. GearCity's Free DLC, GearCity: 2nd Gear, is approximately 50% complete. I have another round of work on that before the end of the year. When I complete that round, I'll pause work on the DLC for a few months to focus on getting AeroMogul to a testable game state. In short, work on GC related stuff will resume spring next year.

v2.0.0.13 Change Log:

-Bugfix: Fixed Stock window not showing contract and other secondary revenues streams.
-Bugfix: Fixed autotools exploit that could cause fractional sales prices below $1, thus breaking AI.
-GUI: Synced rating star values between rooms.
-Bugfix: Fixed bug that did not transfer stocks when companies consolidate.
-Bugfix: Fixed possible stuck RnD skills when skill level drops below 0.25.
-Gameplay: Decreased Dealership subsidy amount after several uses.
-Gameplay: AI now does dealership subsidy on normal, hard, and nightmare mode.
-Bugfix: Fixed Global Fuel Price issue that causes the display of incorrect transportation costs values on the first turn.
-Bugfix: Jitter Charts OSX 2.0.0.12 (City Sales, small window)
-Media: Removed Classic Territory on OSX to prevent crash.
-Bugfix: Fixed Gearbox Prototype Selection text not resetting after player clears it.

Greetings Everyone!

I have released GearCity version 2.0.0.9 for everyone and GearCity: 2nd Gear version 2.1.0.1 for FBS contributors.

Version 2.0.0.9 has 11 bug fixes compiled over the last few months. I still have one or two things related to the mod tools that I will work on in the future.

Work on my next game, AeroMogul is making steady progress, although work on the GearCity: 2nd Gear DLC for Feature Bounty Contributors has slowed progress somewhat since the last GearCity update.

If you have any issues with the game, please don't hesitate to contact me. The next update to GearCity will come after enough bugs have been reported and fixed.

Thank you again, and enjoy!
