1983 crash, negotiations with console manufacturers
Hello world!
4 months have passed since the last update, and I apologize for the delay.
Usually I publish one major update per month or every two months on average.
However these last months have not been like the others, for those who follow me on <url=Twitter or who are on the <url=Discord server, as you already know, I've moved to another country. that is why the development of City Game Studio slowed down.</url=</url=
The good news is that I was able to resume the development. Well it's end-of July already, and as promised here is the 0.31.0 update. So today on the menu we have...
Negotiating with the manufacturers
Previously unlocking a game console was straightforward. Simply click on the console and it was all done. From now on, you'll have to negotiate with the manufacturer. The more you work with a manufacturer, the easier the negotiations will be. Of course, the opposite is also true.
The crash of 1983
The first few years in City Game Studio are incredibly easy. To reflect reality, I introduced the video game crisis of 1983. It impacts the first two generations of consoles, which means that from 1983 on, to make profit you'd have to negotiate with a manufacturer.
The 1983 crash has no exact date, it can start in January as well as in December. This suggestion made by Zarys helps to extend the life of the game.
Developing games on upcoming consoles
Many of you have requested this feature, and now you can develop games for consoles that are not yet available. This involves negotiating with console manufacturers, and it makes City Game Studio much more lively.
Choose the release date
This is another request from the community. And from now on you will be able to choose when to publish a game. This comes in handy when you want to synchronize game ports. And it allows you to better manage the marketing campaign.
Now you can start porting a non-released game. However, you can develop game port only for ready games.
There are still many other changes, and for all of them you can either launch the game or read the full list of changes.
I hope you like it, feel free to join our <url=Discord to talk about it with us!</url=
Cheers
