SAELIG News

Hey folks,

I took a break for about a week to play some games and do some different programming. But I'm back and I just wanted to release some improvements which address a few gripes people had.

• You can now give employees items (like coats) when they are idle at work (no task).
  
• All productions are now shown in the production selection menu for businesses. Only the ones you can make are selectable.
  
• Slight UI changes when automation is enabled.
  
• Prices adjust at a slightly slower rate.
  
• Increased the cost to upgrade your workspaces.
  
• Fixed an issue that would prevent the game from loading.
  
• Fixed a bug that would kick you into the bunkhouse.
  
• Removed the Steam Achievement from the tutorial.
  
• Fixed the UI overflow on the save menu.
  
• The game speed will now revert back to what you had it as after you dismiss an open notification. So if you're at 4x speed and you open and close a notification it will go back to 4 instead of 1.
  
• Decreased the production speed of gold and silver charms slightly.
  
• Slightly clearer wording when trying to buy-out a competitor.
  
• Made sure the wage prices displayed in the job list is the same as the price which is displayed when you apply.
  
• Added tooltips to more items in more situations.
  

During my week away I made a Lemonade Tycoon *type* mobile game for something a bit different. It's pretty fun and doesn't have any micro-transactions or unsolicited ads in it. I'll probably spend a couple more hours adding some shine to it and release it for free. Because why not?

Don't worry, it's not taking me away from SAELIG, I just wanted to try my hand at something a tad different. But now I'm looking getting everything ready for Update 30. Exciting.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Hello again,

Another small update.

• Fixed a massive bug that was causing people to duplicate, which would make the game slow and unstable.
  
• Removed the logbook for now because it was causing issues and bloating out saves.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause Butcher employees to not work in a loaded game.
  
• Herbs have been removed as a food.
  
• Chicken coop sound removed while I figure out a bug.
  
• Removed an exploit that let you rapidly increase your supervisor skill.
  
• Increased the money required before someone will be listed as 'Happily Unemployed'
  
• Made certain jobs more important to AI.
  

Hoping to start work on new features soon. :)

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Hello,

Been working hard for the last couple days to make some decent changes. I've run through a bunch of the businesses and done a bunch of balancing based on my findings. Here's the complete list of changes.

• Complete overhaul of business AI and Automation. Workers will now be a lot more active at looking for new tasks, and carts will be a lot more regularly used.
  
• AI will now once again chop firewood at woodblocks around town.
  
• Player's spouse will now make sure to not have a job too far way from home.
  
• New families will only show up if there is spare housing.
  
• Fixed three bugs that caused games to no load properly.
  
• Adjusted timings and recipes for a lot of productions.
  
• Adjusted prices for a few items.
  
• Added more plots to Hamptunscir.
  
• Fixed production selection bugs at corrals and fields.
  
• A bunch of changes to the butcher, including a new production - Bone Charm. Bone Charms will increase a random skill when consumed and are produced as a side product of butchering a carcass.
  

A few other changes here and there.

If you have any odd bugs or troubling loading a saved game please send me an email to [email protected] and I'll help you out.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Howdy,

• Fixed a bug that would cause gardens and fields to no load correctly.
  
• Your spouse should no longer buy woollen coats.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Just another small update to address a few issues

• Fixed a bug that was causing heavy lag during winter, especially around midnight.
  
• Fixed bald people during winter bug.
  
• Snow should no longer melt while the game is paused.
  
• Fixed an issue which could prevent people from being hireable .
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause certain things to repeat, or be unusual.
  
• Fixed some spelling errors.
  
• Fixed a bug where you would become your own employee.
  
• When comparing marks for a specific business it will now list all items associated with items that the business can make.
  

That’s it for just now, I have some more bugs to fix as well, but wanted to get those ones sorted sooner rather than later.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.
