• Business Magnate 1.6 update - 7 June 2019

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33942008%2Fd8b2e076dc4abf2b0f43827b07dc308ccd15cf3b.jpg Business Magnate update 1.6 is now available.

There is a new section 'Dissolve company' on the 'Finances' tab for this. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33942008%2Fc8d5bcc5ce5d00b7b662241b39481fa78a4e5e6a.png%25E2%2580%25A6

This was the most requested feature by players, and makes it possible to build a few more buildings if you have a very large company. To do this, go to the finances tab -> Land -> click 'Expand the property'. You can only do this once, and it will cost you about 2,5 Mio $. The game engine was not written with this in mind, so this took a bit of effort to implement, but it's now there and it works, hope you have fun with this new feature. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/imag…

• Business Magnate 1.4 update - 5 April 2019

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33942008%2Fd8b2e076dc4abf2b0f43827b07dc308ccd15cf3b.jpg Business Magnate update 1.4 is now available.

Marked simulation for special cases like electric tanks (yes, they are also possible) and cargo ships without stabilizers adjusted a bit. The combobox for changing the zoom on the bottom left in the game didn't open on some systems, this has been fixed now. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33942008%2Ff102843e1e07074b728b83a5f%25E2%2580%25A6

• Business Magnate 1.3 update - 22 March 2019

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33942008%2Fd8b2e076dc4abf2b0f43827b07dc308ccd15cf3b.jpg Business Magnate update 1.3 is now available. This update adds mostly bug fixes and a few minor improvements here and there. Details of changes in this update: Fixed a bug which made it possible under circumstances to set a very high price for a product, and customers then would still buy it in large quantities. For example you could produce a very cheap SUV and sell it for 1 million $ instead of a more normal 25.000 $. This made it possible to become rich very quick, and was quite unrealistic. This was a glitch which has now been removed. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33942008%2Ff9c05b0ae9c0a062b59c464dbd4ceeea4a815cf7.png Fixed a problem in the "Smartphone" business type causing tablets to have very low sales per day Fixed a bug ca…

This update adds some new features, two new supported languages (French and Russian), and a handful bugfixes. It also includes the most wanted "recurring supply orders" feature. Details of changes in this update: Automatic re-ordering supplies There is now an option to auto-reorder supplies, so you don't have to order for example metal every few minutes manually. Once you are able to produce a model automatically, this feature is enabled. There is now a new checkbox next to the "order" button which makes this possible. You can cancel automatic ordering again in the 'deliveries' tab. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33942008%2F712411b0ebd3f04f772150ef051eba80c46db5d3.png Fluctuation re-balanc…

Depending on the size, you can now hire 40 or even 50 employees at the same time.
