Hello Quants!
Wow. It's been so wonderful chatting with so many of you on discord and using your feedback to make the game better. Here are some of the new features:
A few more Podcasts were embedded (please let us know if there are particular podcasts on iHeart you would like added to the game in the future)
The randomness of ending a stock is now relativized.
More importantly, we fixed a whole lot of bugs dedicated players brought to our attention. We're so grateful for your help and understanding with all of this - in hindsight we should have released in Early Access and made use of the community to patch these bugs sooner. Our non-profit will not make that mistake again for our next release. That being said, all known issues (except for the few minor ones mentioned at the bottom of this announcement) have been rectified, in no particular order:
Phew. That's a lot. And it wouldn't have been possible to patch these if not for the community who really stepped up and sent us their save files and made bug reports. I'd like to especially thank:
@rocketorbit, @dertorm, @DrDerpenstein, @malestrom, @utility, Sveelen, bob-the-builder, Johnny Gueggu and SterlingH
A few minor issues yet to be addressed:
We'll patch these shortly along with more fixes and updates.
I did want to ask everyone about a suggestion someone had on the forum recently -> that automation upgrades (i.e. lim/stop, simple bots, visual bots and all their upgrades) persist through restarting runs. I kind of like this idea, and we could change the upgrade costs in these areas to make sure the balance of the game stays more or less the same. Interested to hear what you think!
As always, shoot us an email or drop-in on discord (remember you can now do it in-game) and say hi! We'd love to hear from you.
** a reminder ** because of how itch.io uploads work, the zip file will still say 1.0.2 but when you unzip it will have the correct version number.
Thank you all so much for your continued support, it means the world to us.
