I like the game but it kind of lack of informations
What more equipment means ?
Why the apprentice doesn't work even if I got missions ?
Why better vehicules ?
Why I can't sell old vehicules?
All good points.
I will be releasing updates over the next few weeks addressing these issues. The games only 1 week old so give me some time and with feedback like this we will have a great game on our hands!
needs an update to the UI's scale, as everything doesn't fit into the screen and some stuff is off-screen, like in the competitors tab.
Does it not scroll down? I thought I patched it so that it didn't do that or even if you zoom out by clicking ctr + mouse wheel? I am playing around with a version 1.4 at the moment to add a save game feature. That may be throwing the UI out of whack thanks for letting me know.
what i can see the Ui need to be fix in.
FInance, Staff, HQ, Competitors.
Cant scroll down BUT i can zoom out but when i have 15 workers (only 4 working at once never all at once) i need to zoom out at 33%
Just so you know wich tab that need fixing :)
You're a legend I just implemented Save and Load game features I will work on this next!
how do i hire people?
Go to the staff tab and there are 3 buttons at the button choose which type of staff member you want and hire.
Then they need a car, so go to vehicles and buy a van. then go back to staff buy them tools, click them again and assign the van.
Jobs will now auto assign to that worker.
it seems like i cant scroll all the way down
i can only just see the top of the UI,
but nice game i like it
On what page can I ask?
the page where you hire staff
i cant scroll down and use the 3 buttons you wrote about
Ok thanks! I'll get back to you.
How do you fire / upgrade people?
You can't as yet, I'll take that on notice.
Ok that should be fixed now. Let me know if you come across anything else!
There is a bug where you can purchase more than 100% of a business
Yeah working on fixing that now thanks for playing!
It is a funny game. Need some time to learn and figure out how to play it. I hope the tasks in jobs can be something like the Jira board, where you can drag and arrange those tasks manually. Now they just automatically finish everything, and I can earn money by doing nothing.
How I want to do it eventually is you will manually assign the workers jobs and then eventually hire a scheduler how automates the process for that business alone. But thanks for taking the time to play and leave a review! Much appreciated!
