Work on the game - June
Welcome!
The Steam Next Festival is behind us. Thank you for playing the game demo. At the same time, we’d like to inform you that the demo content was just a portion of the features that will actually be in the final game.
We’ve been closely watching YouTube videos, Twitch livestreams, and the survey you filled out. Even though the festival has ended, we’re still receiving new responses. Thank you!
Interesting survey data:
We’re doing our best to respond in real-time. Thanks to you, we’ve caught many bugs! We also added a few features to the demo to improve the gameplay experience. So what exactly was added during the festival?

As you know, development doesn’t stop with the demo. We continue building the game, aiming to create something we’d enjoy playing ourselves. So in June, we took a short break from game development – but that doesn’t mean we did nothing!
We’ve added a forum with a few articles that should help you in the game. Everything you need to complete tasks can be found in ForumHelp or the PDF files.
We mainly added the Mail app, so players no longer have to run to their computer – something many of you requested. We originally planned to include this at launch, but decided to add it now. You can browse emails on the tablet. However, changing Mail settings is only possible at your PC.
We’ve added some details about the last login and the most recent blocked login attempt.
We added a feature that allows you to copy VirusPlus activation codes to use on other computers.
We’re currently adding tablet settings. So far, we’ve implemented:
We’ll keep working on this to make it the best we can. There’s still a lot to do with the tablet settings. For example, players will need to manually configure WiFi to connect to a network.
The most frequently mentioned feature in surveys. Thanks to this system, you’ll be able to transfer files between your PC, cloud, and tablet.
We’ve added several new wallpapers and a new color palette. You can now transfer .txt, .jpg, .png, and .pdf files to the cloud.
From now on, if the system is not installed, you’ll see a special screen informing you that no OS was detected. Previously, it only showed the Boot Menu.

ForumHelp
We’ve added a forum with a few articles that should help you in the game. Everything you need to complete tasks can be found in ForumHelp or the PDF files.
Tablet – Mail
We mainly added the Mail app, so players no longer have to run to their computer – something many of you requested. We originally planned to include this at launch, but decided to add it now. You can browse emails on the tablet. However, changing Mail settings is only possible at your PC.
Tablet – Authentication
We’ve added some details about the last login and the most recent blocked login attempt.
Tablet – VirusPlus
We added a feature that allows you to copy VirusPlus activation codes to use on other computers.
Tablet – Settings
We’re currently adding tablet settings. So far, we’ve implemented:

We’ll keep working on this to make it the best we can. There’s still a lot to do with the tablet settings. For example, players will need to manually configure WiFi to connect to a network.
