Buying out your competitors used to be great

Hello everyone,

It's been a great week, and I've got a few treats up my sleeve for you!

First and foremost, acquiring competitors. So far, clicking on “Buy” gets you everything. Fans, studios, employees, games - in short, everything you can get when you buy a competitor.
Obviously, it's a bit of a mess. Your games are all mixed up, and that can be frustrating.

From now on, when you buy a competitor, you'll be offered what you want to buy. Games, studios or employees. Not exhaustively, but globally. Do you want to buy all the games, or none of them?

Which gives you more control and therefore more freedom!
I also took the time to review the in-game tool that lets you design your company logos!
The old one wasn't very practical, and this new one is just a little bit better.

Well, v1.20.0 is starting to get big and the rest of the to-do list has largely shrunk.
Next week, I plan to continue working on the banker so that it can finally evolve with time. And probably a few more in-game events, to spice up your games a bit.

Well, that's it for me!
Until then, I wish you a lovely week.
Take care.
Xavier aka Binogure

There's competition!

Hello everyone!

City Game Studio's next major update is almost ready.
I can't wait to make it available to everyone! However, before that happens, I've still got a few weeks' work to do.

So this week, I've been working on the competitors. I've added 13 to be exact. Although their names are a bit humorous, their logos should be recognizable!
Anyway, you can try to guess the logos that have been drawn!

As Ayfri pointed out, there aren't many logos to choose from when you're creating your company. So I designed 10 more.
And I think I'll focus on the logo editor to make it a bit prettier. If I remember correctly, this version was made in 2020.
It's a bit dated, and I've got a few ideas to make it a bit nicer.

Lately, you've been suggesting an extra page to be able to filter the games made by the competitors you've bought out. Also, I'm thinking of giving you a choice when you buy a competitor. You can choose to keep the studios, the employees, the games, the game engines or nothing at all. By doing so, it's more in line with reality. For example, you can buy out a competitor, but resell their game to make some money. The same applies to studios and game engines, but not to employees.

Anyway, I'm going to try to work on it, although I don't think I have enough time to do it for next week, I'm going to try though!

Well, that's it for me!
Until then, I wish you a lovely week.
Take care.
