Dev Diary 2/2024: Decisions Moved to Briefing Room

Next Time On Endless Studio…

The development of the Managing Your Own Network feature set is on track. Currently, we're focused on update 2024.1, which will introduce the Briefing Room. Following this, three more updates will finalize the necessary components for the network management gameplay.

This week, we accomplished the following development tasks (check out a brief video demonstration on our Instagram):

• Implemented Decision management in the Briefing Room, consolidating actions and decisions into a single location.
• Changed the warning icon graphic on the Briefing Room's door and made it pulse, ensuring you easily notice pending tasks in the current turn.
• Streamlined the user interface by removing the decision button from the footer.
• Removed action management from the Management, Showrunner and Marketing Offices, and replaced them with information on the current activities of showrunners and marketing managers, mirroring the functionality of the Recording Studio, Editing, and Test Screening Room.

Next, we'll focus on updating the Knowledge Base and Tutorial, along with devising a solution to incorporate the Briefing Room into ongoing games.
