Digital Store update v0.26.0

Create your own digital store

The digital store is now available. The mid-game will now be much more interesting. Start implementing new feature for your digital store. Attract more
players by publishing exclusive games on your store and participating in several conventions.

Implement features for your digital store

And that's how you'll have to juggle implementing features for your digital store and creating your own games. I advise you to keep an eye on the load of the servers and if necessary to implement the Anti-Bot functionality of the digital store.

What about the tooltips?!

Tooltips have been reworked (it was due). They no longer cover the mouse cursor or what you are trying to read. They no longer blink and even better, display useful information.

Tooltips will also add more dynamic informations such as the specialists assigned to a game, or if a theme matches a genre.
