Not only does today mark the first Presidential election debate in the US, its just a week away from the launch into early access of our political strategy game Democracy 4. If you want to try your hand at implementing Universal Basic Income, or maybe you want to ban teaching evolution in schools, perhaps build a border wall, or legalize heroin, or go crazy with the money printer with some helicopter money or quantitative easing... these are all option

Changelog Switch OSX version to 64bit-only rather than universal (32+64bit) to avoid warning on OSX Catalina. Fixed bug which freezes game if you do a clinical trial on a drug with no cure (M&M DLC only)

Hey guys, small patch with a couple of features to keep the game up-to-date and running in tip-top condition. Updated OSX version to 64bit to comply with latest Apple guidelines. Added official 4K support.

From the creator of Big Pharma comes a brand new economic simulation game. Megaquarium follows in the footsteps of classic theme park management tycoon games and adds an aquatic spin! A living simulation Starting with just a few tanks and the most basic of livestock, you’ll grow your aquarium to a thronging metropolis filled with hundreds of guests, tens of staff and a multitude of different aquatic lifeforms, each with their own unique care requirements. For more information check out the Megaquarium store page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/600480/Megaquarium/

Mini patch. There seemed to be some issues with how the game tried to select the correct language the first time the game was run. This patch makes the game default to the language Steam is currently running in. You can still manually change the language in the in-game options like before, but hopefully this will make the game's first guess right most of the time. Any unforeseen issues, let me know! Tim

Another mini patch. Turns out there was a strange resolution bug which has been in the game for quite some time. ːsteamfacepalmː Should be all fixed now! If anyone experiences any strange side-effects to do with screen resolutions please let me know via a new topic in the Discussion board. Thanks.

Here's a little holiday gift! This update contains a number of small bug fixes and requests I've received over the last few months. There's nothing major but I thought this would be a nice time of year to say thank you to everybody who is playing the game and to demonstrate my commitment to keep it updated and running as smoothly as your ingeniously designed production lines! Enjoy! ːsteamhappyː Changelog Added a dropdown menu to Packer so that you can choose to pack less than the maximum. Added note to mod manager saying that achievements are disabled when mods are active. Updated description
