Previous changelog
Franchise
- Franchises are now computed live, then cached in the savegame.
- Added a new `franchise_id` attribute to every game.
- Migrated old savegames to compute franchises.
Misc
- Optimized the game sales computation.
- Reworked the digital store model type to match the one used by the other models, and migrated old savegames.
- Optimized chart rendering and the toggle animation.
- Reworked the HTTP requester to make it more stable.
Interface
- Reworked the game history panel.
- Reworked the game creation panel. The Design, Development and Polish steps now use the same template as the history panel to display past games.
- Custom platforms: You can now rename custom platforms while they are in development.
Bugfix
- Fixed a game freeze that could occur during HTTP requests (used by the Twitch integration), caused by a TLS handshake with no timeout.
- Fixed the mouse cursor being offset by 30 pixels on Windows. This bug was 2 or 3 years old, sorry for the delay!
- Fixed the employee energy bar disappearing when releasing a game, a remake or a game port. It came from legacy code that wasn't using City Game Studio's latest interface framework. Rewriting that part was tedious, but it works now and runs better than before.
