Chairmen, let’s stride forward.
Unlock the grand finale of the company system: the AI Foundation Model Department, a race for the power to set the narrative for the entire world.
This department has been carefully designed as the most multi-dimensional business simulation in the game, and its staggering costs pose a brand-new challenge to late-game players. The payoff: powerful AI gives your in-house operating systems and chips a crushing edge over your competitors, tighter control over financial assets, a huge advantage at the Texas Hold’em table, and root-level access to the entire world — using cognitive guidance to push the world endlessly in any direction you choose. Become the god of a new world, or the tyrant who destroys the world: it all comes down to a single thought of yours.
This update also brings an all-new casino experience. If you enjoy the casino, the new version’s immersive visuals and more thrilling slots will make it even more fun. Texas Hold’em visuals have taken a huge leap forward: win every last chip from your opponents and watch the chips pile up like a mountain in front of you!
The “World” group of the Personal Terminal now includes the World Map, with 40 locations:
— Land investment: land prices rise and fall with the total size of the world economy. Some plots must be cleared first: you can pay more and clear them slowly, or pull strings with officials to settle it quickly — the latter spends Political Capital and leaves suspicion behind. — Factories: once your company has built its own factory, you can buy ready-built factories on the map (at 1.5 times the cost of building new, usable the moment you buy them) or build new ones (which takes 12 months). The added capacity counts directly toward your phone capacity and benefits from your manufacturing research bonuses.
— Build Compute Centers and Power Stations for the AI Foundation Model Department. — The map also reserves spots for Attractions, Racing Sites and Sea-Fishing Sites; these activities are not open yet.
We have optimized the most performance-heavy scenes as thoroughly as we could. Every 3D scene now plays far better, at higher frame rates. Even on very powerful hardware, you will clearly notice faster scene loading. If your device is on the weaker side and you had to turn on “Safe mode”, we recommend turning “Effects” back on in Settings — most devices can now run them smoothly.
Following player suggestions, we have also made many workflow improvements:
1. The game now includes a complete “Getting Started” tutorial and guidance for the early game.
2. Many screens are easier to read, and a great deal of text has been made consistent. We have added help marks to many concepts so you can quickly grasp what they mean and what they do.
3. If you dislike Texas Hold’em, “Fast-forward all-in” now lets you quickly obtain the “God of Gamblers Crown” item.
4. The phone design page now lets you reapply your last design with one click (“Apply Last Design”).
Also in this update:
— Fixed logic issues in the phone “Supply Catalog”.
— Look back on your legendary life: the “Life Timeline” on the “Codex & Achievements” page is now presented as a film strip.
— All courses now give more Intelligence; completing every course grants 35 more Intelligence in total.
— Fixed the naming window that could not be closed when a child’s birth and a “Project Kindling” event fell in the same month, and a false “conditions not met” message after naming a child with the suggested name.
— Fixed a large number of text issues across many languages.
— Competitors now remain on file after going bankrupt, being acquired or being taken private.
— Collectibles at the Auction House still appreciate by 5%–15% a year, but the larger their total value relative to the world’s total market capitalization, the more slowly they appreciate.
— “Cumulative Installs”, cumulative reach and “Financial Reach” in “Global Influence” no longer have fixed caps; “Active Reach” and the “ROM Forum” fan cap now scale with the world’s “Reachable Population”.
What’s next?
In the next version, we will complete the final piece of the company gameplay: the Car Department, together with racing events. One of our design goals is that you can drive the cars you have built yourself and race them around the track in a 3D scene, though we cannot guarantee that this will happen. Achieving it in a game of this scale raises many technical challenges, and we will do our utmost to solve them.
If you have read this far and enjoy the game, we sincerely invite you to leave a Recommended review. The enthusiasm of so many players has encouraged me deeply and pushed the game to the high standard it has reached today.
