Bug Fixes The end screens have their buttons back. On bankruptcy, victory and at the end of the demo, New Game and Main Menu were laid out outside the visible area - the only way on was to quit the game. The closing text on the demo end screen wraps instead of running off the edge of the box.

New Features Train your own developer skills with money and time instead of skill points. Specializations are a studio profile now — how many run at once depends on your office, and switching is free. An experienced founder mentors: staff training finishes noticeably faster. The Expertise tab shows where the development speed of your current project comes from, source by source. Improvements Banked skill experience survives training — spending a point no longer wipes the bar. Expertise works: your whole studio gets faster and less bug-prone on similar projects, not just you. Architecture and t

New Features Start scenarios: New Game opens with a choice — the classic endless run, or a scenario that sets the era, starting capital, reputation and pre-unlocked languages and frameworks. Each card shows what you get before you commit. Scenario goals: company funds, team size, office tier or mastering a language, each with a bronze, silver and gold mark. Your overall medal is the weakest tier you hold, so no goal can be neglected. Deadline and result: reach the goals before the deadline. Bronze counts the moment you hit it, your medal can still climb, and a result screen sums up every goal.

New Features Company takeovers: buy out a competitor straight from the Competitors panel, or accept a discounted offer in your inbox. Every deal shows a full cost breakdown, you can optionally take over their offices for the extra desks, and you absorb their reputation and some of their staff. Rolling training: set a single train-to-maximum plan per employee, team or founder. It keeps leveling a language to the cap, then moves on to the next language in your queue, so you no longer re-queue course after course. Smarter hiring: tell recruiters which role you need to bias the applicant pool, and

Bug Fixes Corrected faulty translations across all 28 in-game languages: achievements, in-game events, tutorial tips, employee events and other texts that previously appeared in English are now properly localized.

New Features Mods & Steam Workshop: install local mods and subscribe to Workshop items. Data-driven content lets mods add programming languages, frameworks, client project types and product categories. Manage mods in-game — activate or deactivate on the fly, publish, hide, delete and tag. In-game mod editor: a step-by-step wizard (name, type, values, check, save) to create and edit languages, frameworks, project types and product categories, loaded live without a restart. Difficulty-based leaderboards: rankings are now separated by difficulty. Runs with active mods no longer count toward leade

New Features Redesigned main menu: a single screen with a navigation rail and content panes (New Game, Settings, Credits, Patch Notes) over an animated era backdrop. New in-game navigation: a persistent grouped sidebar (Overview, Studio, Team, Business, Progress, System) replaces the old desktop icon grid, so every screen is one click away. Improvements The Office screen now switches between Management and the Floor view with tabs. The Finance overview is now a full-width ledger with amounts aligned on the right for easier reading. Sidebar section headers are now translated in every supported

New Features Filter your mail inbox by sender type: Clients, Team, Finance, Maintenance or System. Search your mail by subject to jump straight to the message you need. Bug Fixes Released products can start a new version again with the Develop Update action, which had gone missing and left Discontinue as the only option. Text in non-Latin languages (Japanese, Korean, Chinese and others) now renders correctly instead of showing empty boxes.

Bug Fixes Fixed the add-member list in team management not scrolling, so employees further down the list can be selected again.

Improvements The Development, Market and Employees desktop icons now show a small count badge. Bug Fixes Fixed a crash that closed the game when hiring an applicant.

New Features The Employees screen is now split into Employees, Applicants and Teams tabs. Reworked team management: each team is organised into Members, Assignment Rules and Training, with a scrollable two-column members list showing languages and levels, a language and training-type picker, and per-team language rules for auto-assignment. Office dashboard with hardware-manufacturer tabs (Intel/AMD/Apple) and full-width section tabs. The Languages tab is now a proper multi-column grid. Improvements The display settings are back: renderer/backend selector, multi-monitor picker and fullscreen re

Bug Fixes Employee actions (train, promote, dismiss, hire) respond reliably again. The idle-employee indicator is back as a badge on the desktop icons.

New Features Fast-forward: from the Organizer, run time in fast-forward up to the next month or the next important event — the simulation keeps running (development, deadlines, events) and stops the moment something needs you. Employee filter: filter staff and applicants by job title, language, status and health from one shared filter bar across both tabs. Optimised saves: smaller and now language-agnostic — mails always appear in your current language instead of the one they were saved in. Redesigned Panels Employees: split into Staff and Applicants tabs, with tooltips for health and motivati

Bug Fixes Fixed non-Latin languages (e.g. Russian) showing mail and panel text as garbled boxes after a window resize or a display-mode change.

Bug Fixes Developers now handle testing when no QA is on the team. In large offices projects could previously get stuck in the testing phase with no one able to sign the work off.
