March of Industry News

New small patch to get the cloud features (blueprints, etc) working again.

Basically a third party provider dropped support for a technology that was needed and this fixes it by no longer using that provider. This required a full recompile, which was a bit of an adventure to figure out after so many years had passed. However, it should all be working again for now. I don't know how long it will be technically feasible to keep the cloud features running given how old this game is, but I am trying to keep them running as long as I can for anyone who happens to want to revisit the game and try the blueprints :)

(Also, the game can still work offline, too, but without blueprints)

When I first released this game, I set the launcher's certificate to be 10 years, not understanding how quickly ten years goes by ;)

Since the cert was due to expire in a month I did a quick set of updates. For the windows version, I updated the launcher with the AESU from Kobolds which supports automatically renewing certs. I don't have that feature ported to mac/linux yet, so I instead just added a fully copy of the game that you can play without the launcher (for every platform).

Unfortunately, it looks like ancient Unity builds don't support modern certs so the in-game blueprint download is probably broken for now.

I'm working on a new game! If you enjoyed the comedy in my past games like 8BitMMO, March of Industry, and Spaceship Crashed, I think you'll enjoy Dragon Audit.

A battle accountant storms the castle to rescue a princess, but accidentally rescues an overly friendly dragoness instead.

It's a humorous adventure story in the vein of point & click classics, told with an anime inspired 3D visual style and modern controller-friendly input.

In a world teeming with magic and danger, a city of accountants exists which has sequestered itself behind high walls and generally unacceptable accounting principles. A battle accountant there, George, is assigned the unenviable task of leaving the safety of the city in order to storm a nearby castle, slay the dragon, rescue the princess, and (most importantly) rescue the unpaid tax revenue. Meanwhile, Ayraw (the dragon), is tired of knights showing up to slay her, and is a bit jealous no one ever wants to rescue her. So she concocts a plan to trick George into rescuing her instead of rescuing the princess. Hijinks ensue as the two team up, the unlikely duo slowly growing closer through their shared adventure.
