GDM Minor Update 7b - Fixes

I have just released a new version you will need to delete you old unzipped files and download the new gdm_v7b.7z  file, extract it and play.  This will work with older patch versions however it will not fix the issue present in your current saves.  It wont break anything though either.

Big shout out and thank you to Game Dev Masters player Seb11614 which is a new account and I don't have any kind of twitter to link or anyway to give you a good shout out but if you read this you know who you are and I thank you for your great feedback / suggestions and of course bug detection.

Unfortunately in a previous update where I re made the exp system (I think that was like update 4ish)  I forgot to include the is_manager check when a worker leveled and I have been adding your increased wage to the monthly fees.  This was not intended as you shouldn't and will not be paying yourself for working for yourself.

This was a major over-sight and I believe it was missed by others and myself in previous test runs because the game was easier pre v7.  It's possible these increased wages were just over looked as you made ridiculous sums of money.

Now that the game has a more difficult capped payout system this increased cost was turning the game into a rogue like with a feeling of doom as your manager leveled.  This is far from the intent of the first office.

The first office is meant to be a safe place with a fixed $2,500 monthly cost.  The pressure is not suppose to mount until you choose to move to the larger office and add additional staff.  If that means year 6 for you with $2mil in the bank or if that means Year 1 when you have just enough cash to buy the office thats up to you.  However the first office will never rise in cost moving forward and this safe place will return.

Once again thank you so much for the feedback Seb11614 and I hope you try the game some more in the new version.

This past week I have been working on some more finalized visuals / particles in preparation for launching a steam page.  Although we are still quite far from a early access launch I would like to get the store up and try to gain some visibility / testers.  These better visuals will help me create some art for the page but they will not be added to the itch version as this will inflate the file size beyond what I can easily upload to itch.  If you wanna check um out please take a sneak peek at this video I put together showcasing the small modern and medium modern offices... 

More to come...  Large office / Large games Coming soon after steam page launch.
