Greetings, 👋

Welcome to your latest update on our progress in building Business Heroes. We spent the last week fixing bugs in the game’s queuing animation system and developing its Bankruptcy logic.

The Bankruptcy logic is still in progress, but you are about to see how the queuing system now looks.

Previously we had an issue in multiplayer that caused the customers to collapse into each other when attempting to queue at a stand.

Definitely not how we wanted folks to queue up. 😂

After multiple deep dives into the murky waters of code that power the current customer pathing and animation systems, we discovered it was both a positional and syncing issue.

Several restructuring attempts later, we finally fixed it, and you can see the results below.

While at it, we segued into the main menu’s animation system to fix a pre-existing transition error we had been putting off.

The animation now works as intended, and this is how it looks:

We spent the rest of our time setting up the Bankruptcy section, especially for multiplayer. You’d get to see how it works pretty soon…hopefully. 😃

That’s it for today. Cheers 🥂.

Greetings, 👋

Another lovely Friday is upon us, and you know we have your update on our progress ready. We finished working on the main menu of the game this week. Included in the implementation are some updates to the country selection and settings section.

We improved the User Interface for country selection. We also added tooltips containing country-specific data to help guide your choice of a starting location.

New country-specific data include:

• Currency
• Weather
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• Interest Rate

We moved the difficulty gauge down and made the prevalent weather in each country prominent. We decided to improve the visibility of the predominant weather because of its impact on gameplay.

Here’s how it looked previously:

The game settings section is also fully functional with all the accessibility options.

That’s it for today. Cheers 🥂.

Hello, 👋

It’s another lovely Friday, and we definitely can’t wait to bring you up to speed on our development activities. We spent some time polishing the Financial Hub, and we thought you should see it.

The Financial Hub is the City’s lifeblood. Comparable to Wall Street, the location is packed full of hotshots in fancy suits and with fancy hair.

Most of the customers you’d find here are Managers, Staffs, and some Tourists. As the economic hotbed of the city, you can bet that the permit fee for a food stand would almost cost an arm and a leg.

If that’s not making it tough enough, the primary customer groups here are not the easiest to please. Managers are impatient with mediocre service, Tourists are fussy about food quality, and Staffs raise hell if your price is too high.

It’s generally not the best location for a new food truck business with limited funds trying to learn the ropes of the game.

A thorough understanding of the needs of these customer groups plus a sound grasp of your cash flow and inventory management is the only way to come out on top in the Financial Hub.

However, once you’ve got a good grasp of your business and how to satisfy your target customers, the Financial Hub could potentially be one of your cash cow locations. With three stand spots, the sky is truly the limit in terms of income.

After all, there aren’t many people in the city with as much money to burn as Managers when you can meet their demands.

That’s it for today. Cheers 🥂.
