My web-host changed how they handle http requests when uploading files, which meant that bug reporting and logo sharing was broken, due to both uploading files to my website. I have now fixed these requests, so they will once again work. I don't have anything else to say about the matter... Here is a teaser for the subsidiary CEO mechanic I'm working on for the overhaul: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8600182/984a895aff76329036ccb4455a623c4748b1fa47.png

Work on the overhaul is moving forward at a steady pace. Here are some of the things that have changed since last.

The security attribute will lower the impact of DDoS attacks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8600182/b335f6518fdce5d190dc89c67b13d95f4bc924a0.png DDoS attacks will happen more frequently the bigger your company gets, but can also be carried out b

The background If you've followed development closely, you might know that we've been working on a campaign mode to help ease in new players and introduce the game's mechanics at a reasonable pace. My hope was that this would tie the game together for the 1.0 release. This work has been slow going, as I'm not an author, so writing good dialog has been pretty difficult, even though most of the campaign is playable at this point. We've spent downtime polishing the game and adding a couple of small auxiliary mechanics, as seen in the recent trash update. I've paid particular attention to the fact

Localizor is shutting down, and I've decided to roll out my own website for translations. You can now help translate the game at translate.coredumping.com. The plan moving forward is to keep all languages up to date using machine translations, if they are at least 90% translated already, but human translations will always supersede machine translations. Changes Translations have moved from Localizor to Translate.Coredumping.com Translations downloaded from Translate.Coredumping.com will optionally auto-update when new keys are translated Missing translations will now default to english unless
