Variant 14 is ready, a bit of a side update

Covid Simulator
A downloadable game for Windows

No snazzy gifs this time, sorry folks :(


So anyways, I got into a bit of a heated discussion on line about the validity of the simulator. Too many deaths! So of course this lead me down a rabbit hole of "what specifically does my simulator result in? I ran the simulator for days - give everyone covid (200 employees per run) and run it for a month, and what happens?


The end result was a 0.4% death rate after about 10,000 employees were tested. Not perfect, but repeatable! This is important, because if I can create a consistent result I can adjust that result! I spent a few more days adjusting the rates of infection, spread, and effects to make it more true to reality. I think you'll like what you see!


WHATS NEW

  • Huge overhaul of stats and effects
  • Disable social commentary also disables the ethnic disparity in covid results
  • Implemented a mechanic allows for better fine tuning of the length of time between reinfections
  • Added new phone station
  • Added the ability to toggle a station as "removes mask" in level editor
