Development Update [May 2024]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Dear Manufacturers,[/h2]

Long time no see, but fear not, we are still there and working hard towards the release.

Keep in mind that we are a very small studio, consisting of only two people. Sometimes we cannot devote our time to keep everything in check as we would like. However, we do take time to hear your opinions and consider your feedback.

We are now working closely with our QA Team fixing final bugs and tweaking the game balance.

Without further ado, let's see what has changed since the last playtest.

[h3]Tutorial[/h3]
The game introduction is now extended. It provides more helpful information and now includes object removal, sales, technology, and research. On finishing it, you are ready to conquer any of the Challenges.



[h3]Challenge (ex-Scenario)[/h3]
There are a few sets of challenges awaiting you, featuring some non-standard elements. You've inherited a parking lot, but be quick with selling these goods, as the thief is prowling the local area. Or perhaps you are interested in ensuring the highest quality of cars for the UFO, risking your workers' lives and your warehouse supplies. Sounds fun? We got more!

[h3]Free Play[/h3]
The good old standard mode. Customize your settings and rules. Take your time and relax, exploring different maps, discovering over 60 various car models and upgrading your factory to its fullest potential.

[h3]Workers[/h3]
We've decided to replace the previous stats system with a simpler, yet more intuitive and precise leveling system. Unlock the Employee Zone, make room for rest and place new fun items that will make your workers even more effective. Consider every worker's level, energy, happiness, and incentives to ensure perfect harmony within your factory. Or just exploit it for the money, I guess?


[h3]Technologies[/h3]
Some of the latest conveniences in the Tech Tree are the visuals of upgrade effects, now combining a few entries of the same type. Furthermore, some techs now require additional conditions, allowing for a smoother transition toward the mid and late-game instead of relying heavily on factory finances.

[h3]Help Tables[/h3]
With the more advanced technologies, we introduce new gameplay features into the game. Whenever you feel lost, you can access the Help Tables, which describe pretty much the entire game.

[h3]Game Summary[/h3]
After the game, discover more details about your journey with the brand-new UI.



[h3]Game Performance[/h3]
We constantly strive for a more stable and optimized game in every given scenario while implementing new features. Human unit avoidance is now enhanced. Also, there is an additional new faster speed mode.

Detailed Info [Devlog #21]



[h3]Dear Manufacturers[/h3]

Recently, we've introduced a new interaction layer for the Play/Factory Mode. We can now select various units in order to look up their detailed data and proceed with more advanced actions.


Select Workers to get a quick lookup at their current stats, employment time, etc. Here we can adjust their income and in the future manage the training. It's also a faster way to fire unwanted employees.


Interact with Cars to get more in-depth info about their ongoing production, as well as mark them for special operations with recently added workshops (such as repair and dismantling).


Finally, we can now select Clients. Analyze what's their background and wants. Provide some extraordinary service which will affect their happiness and patience.

Car Quality [Devlog #20]



[h3]Dear Manufacturers[/h3]
Production of high-quality cars is essential for boosting your factory's reputation.

To make top-notch cars, we need to think about a few things. Quality is the outcome of both the skills of your mechanics and the quality of resources used in putting the car together.

Manage your current market deals with several suppliers, each having its pros and cons.



Check the quality of products on an assembly line with the use of a Quality Station.
But keep in mind that using this station might slow down your production a bit.


If you choose to do so later, with the use of Repair Workshop you can either analyze or try increasing the car's quality.


If you are unhappy with the cars you built, you can always send them to Dismantling Workshop, which will break a car into parts for later reuse.


Or feel free to use a Shredder and turn your car into dust.

Hope you like it! Tell us what you think.
