UI, QoL & Translation

Usability and quality of life across the menus, the first 5 languages, reworked executives and policies, CEO builder RPG elements and a staff and HR package. Also launching on the Epic Games Store.

Playtest and full release
January 2027

What's in it

UI overhaul

  • Every menu reworked for usability: clearer layouts, fewer clicks, and some polish and animation. The people and business menus come first
  • Keyboard shortcuts, bulk actions, search and filters, jump to, remembered windows and tabs, and undo for building
  • Reworked graphs: the remaining graph unlocks, and the expense graph flipped so higher means more spending
  • New settings: language picker, resolution and fullscreen, frame cap, more pause triggers, notifications per category and edge scrolling

Translation

  • The first 5 languages: Simplified Chinese, German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish (Latin America)
  • Community editing: help improve the translations, with credits in the game

Your CEO

  • Dress your CEO with outfits and accessories
  • Write a bio, or pick a background story
  • Choose your CEO's favourites and whether they smoke

Staff and HR

  • Therapies: send employees to outside services to quit smoking, change a trait, change their coping style or recover from burnout. Each costs money and might not work
  • Loyalty you can see: happiness and quit risk, and ways to act on them with raises, bonuses, gifts and time off

Executives

  • Reworked managers: they now run automations and turn resources into others
  • HR Manager: pays salaries, hires to the staff numbers you set, finds candidates that match your filters and handles lawsuits by your rules
  • Finance Manager: pays all bills, handles loans, earns interest on spare cash and runs transport
  • Research Manager: turns research into money or reputation
  • Marketing Manager: starts campaigns on its own, within your budget
  • Each manager unlocks things only they can give

Policies

  • Task order: decide which tasks each job does first
  • Room priorities
  • Shut down Taxi Ranks, Bus Stations and Subways

More details will be revealed closer to the update.
