It’s another Friday, and you know it’s time for another update on our progress.
Today’s episode looks at the latest version of the End of Day report and the research tree’s progress. But before we get into that, we have a little announcement we’ve been sitting on. 😉
Endless Replayability Fest! 🎉
That’s right, we will be part of Steam’s Endless Replayability Fest! 🕺💃
And that’s not all, we will be broadcasting the latest version of the gameplay during the festival and answering any questions you might have about the new gameplay. 😍
Broadcast dates and times will be shared via X. We certainly can’t wait to see you and hear your thoughts.
Now, moving on to the progress update for today. 😎
End-of-Day Report 📃
One factor all successful companies share is a relentless focus on performance. The End of Day (EoD) report captures essential aspects of the just-concluded day and displays them in an easy-to-digest report.
When determining the report’s content, we carefully selected metrics that provide a comprehensive view of the company’s overall health, including financial performance, operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and specific insights into daily operations.
This was a bit tricky as we knew you’d most likely view this report in strategy optimization mode (nighttime), so we needed to ensure the data on display would be relevant regardless of your company’s size and research stage.
For example, we quickly noticed that the Most and Least Profitable metrics, although necessary during the growth phase, would provide less value in the early stages of your business.
Hence, we will modify that function for companies in the startup phase.
Given that you will probably want to refer to the EoD report as your business grows, we made it easily accessible from the gameplay screen via a collapse/expand button.
The report also delivers a notification about the status of your research as they are completed.
Research Tree Implementation 🎄
The research section is gradually beginning to look like how we envisioned. Much of it is still in progress, so expect to be pleasantly surprised when you see the final version.
This is the current state for Tier 1 research items:
Items can be researched individually, queued up, or prioritized over a research queue that’s in progress.
Depending on your research selection, notifications will appear in your End of Day report as the items become available.
And that’s a wrap for today!
As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on these and any other improvements.
Cheers 🥂
