I'm calling alpha releases for the $10+ tier "pre-alphas" from now on to make titling easier.

Patreon Reward Change - Contributors in Game

Typically when I adjust Patreon rewards, I do it in such a way that will not affect existing patrons. After giving it a lot of though, I've decided to make a change to the $5 tier that, while minor, will affect patrons at that level. This change was make in the interest of incentives, but mostly for...

Progress Towards 5.1

Lots of changes over the last couple nights, so I thought I'd drop in to let everyone know about what's going on with the game.

As is my way, I've managed to take a system I was happy with and over-complicate the hell out of it. The bad news is, implementing these changes will take time. The good ...

Events, Exploration, Progress!

Hey all! I was hoping to have a decent 5.1 candidate out this week but due to some family obligations I wasn't able to spend as much time working on the game as I would have like. That said, a lot of work has been put into it since 5.0.2's release!

Alpha 5.0.6 - Random Events

Greetings alpha testers. I've uploaded a new build to the share which includes a handful of random events at home. Events have a 33% chance of triggering whenever you leave a room at home, and will not start triggering until after the TFM-1 incident on Wednesday of the first week.

Let's Talk About Chris...

I've been spending most of time cleaning up the existing code and events in the game, and going over Chris' content got me thinking about his relevancy. I figured, hey, here's a good excuse to throw out my first Patreon Poll!

Help shape The Company's development!

Patreon Updates

I've updated Patreon tiers to make things a little more aesthetically pleasing, with more appropriate names to fit the project. I've also added a couple more benefits for patrons including (clearly states) early access to feature releases, as well as additional voting weight for polls... Polls incom...

5.0.4 Alpha Build Uploaded

I don't plan on making it a habit to make a post whenever I upload an early alpha build, but since this one adds wardrobe functionality I thought I'd give everyone the heads up.

Moving into the 5.0 Content Initiative

Chapter 2 is finally released, and the expected bug infestation has been more or less eradicated. Now it's time to start making good on all those other features I've been ignoring up to this point. For the most part, I'm pretty happy with how the game feels and plays, but there's always been a lot o...

The Company - Alpha 5.0.0 Release!

Alpha 5.0.0 of The Company has been release to the public! The update focuses on the game's second chapter, and will take players through to the end of September in game.

Regarding Today's Update

Good morning everyone! Fear not, for this is not a delay post. I'm working through some last last minute testing testing in an effort to make sure nothing's horribly broken, as has typically been the case in the past. The current plan is that Update 5.0.0 will be posted at 1:00pm PST today....

Quick Alpha 5.0.0 Update

It's been a crazy week for me but I've been spending any downtime I get working on chapter 2. At this point, I'd say it's 99.9% done. All that's left is to take everything out of Google Docs and move it into Twine, which is also already nearly done. After that, it's just tidying up the content and c...

Chapter 2 - Teaser

Here's a little teaser from Chapter 2 while you all wait for an actual release! It's finally time for you to get your hands dirty and start doing what it was you were hired to do in the first place.

Progress is steady, and I'm still aiming for a September release. I've unfortunately been without a...

Mid-September Update

Chapter 2 Progress:

  I'll be honest, September's been a much busier month than I expected and development is moving a little slower than I'd like. Chapter 2 is still moving along, though, and I still expect to have it out pretty soon here, though I may miss this weekend...

Onward to Chapter 2!

New Release on the Horizon:

  The release of Alpha 0.4.8 last night marks what I intend to be the final incremental update before Alpha 0.5.0 is done. I was hoping to have the Chapter 2 update finished sooner, but realistically it probably won't be done until later next ...

Alpha 0.4.8 Update + Dev Post

Firstly, I've compiled what I'm expecting to be the final incremental update before the 0.5.0 release. This update needs to overwrite any version of the game 0.4.0 or higher, and should be compatible with any save files from 0.4.5 or higher.

This update fixes several minor issues from 0.4.7 includ...

Alpha 0.4.7 Update

This update fixes issues with events not resetting, specifically those with Chris as well as day trips. You'll need to have Alpha 0.4.6 already, and this will only overwrite the HTML file.
