Hello friends,

Just a couple small fixes.

• "Continue on your path" now properly works when you ask for forgiveness at the church.
  
• Your spouse will no longer quit their job when they work for you.
  
• Some market tweaks.
  

That's all folks.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Well hello, fancy seeing you here.

I would like to introduce you to Update 30, it's quite neat and has some goodies to offer.

Goodies

• A new larger house called a Homestead. It has more beds than a standard house and has a garden upgrade. The garden upgrade allows you and your family to harvest small amounts of fruits, vegetables, and eggs throughout the year.
  
• Another new type of house called a Longhouse. It is primarily designed as something to sink money into as it's stupid expensive to build and upgrade. You can build walls around it, plant a garden (see above), and also raise some animals (like the garden upgrade but meat and wool).
  
• Owners of a Longhouse can host a feast which if done correctly will make you the most popular person in town.
  
• You can now train other people in skills that you are better than them at.
  
• You can now transfer workers more easily from other nearby businesses that you own.
  
• Sheds! You can now develop small and large plots into sheds to store all your goodies.
  
• Two new achievements.
  
• Corruption and criminal record now have a great influence on your life. However if you are generous enough with the church they can fix this for you.
  
• Major changes to how prices adjust. This should fix some strange prices that some people noticed.
  
• A new cart for the final level of cart upgrade. When you ride this one you sit up front, like a pro.
  

Less Good, Goodies

• A few UI changes to make certain things more obvious.
  
• Fixed the spelling issues.
  
• Fixed a bug where you would lose relationship with child workers when they grow up.
  
• Fixed broken controls after using first person as a lady with a dress (yes, this was an actual bug).
  
• Fixed a bug where you could not catch an outlaw if you were a watchman.
  
• Fixed a bug where crime reports at the end of the day could be incorrect.
  
• You can no longer offload random items into an empty plot.
  
• Some new notifications.
  
• You can now properly hire your family for free again.
  
• Wood cutters will now properly sell wood.
  
• Fixed some exploits.
  
• Fixed an issue where people would rent your houses then leave then rent your houses again.
  
• People will now eat more food from their own houses.
  
• Various other bug fixes.
  

I hope you all enjoy the new stuff. Sorry I'm really slow at development - life is crazy sometimes.


Cheers,

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.
