This week we've released a full front-end rebuild of Foot Russian Roulette. While it may look pretty much the same, it's now on modern technology and the actions are literally live, using websockets. This closes a bunch of long-standing bug reports.
This community suggestion was accepted. Employee effectiveness is now shown as a value, upon tap / hover a tooltip appears showing a full breakdown of the individual modifiers that created it. This drastically changes things for all directors and employees who will now have accurate data on effectiveness each day.
I've also finally replaced the oddly specific honor bars 'Keen' and 'Im a real doctor', something I've been wanting to do for a very long time as they've never felt right. They have now become 'Intern' and 'Stuck in a Rut', rewarded for achieving 100 and 1,000 job points used. This new personal stat goes back as far as March 2015 for company specials used, and July 2019 for job specials - these may not appear as updated until a little later today.
A bunch of significant improvements and fixes have been released for Poker this week. More community requests will follow soon.
Finally I'm happy to announce we've begun rolling out our brand new native android app. To start with just 10% of the existing beta testers (770 people) have access to it for now. Assuming there's nothing serious, we'll be able to quickly increase this to the entire beta testing team, and then to everyone publicly.

This workforce project focus list gives a little insight into what projects we're working on week by week, it doesn't include team managers. These current priorities declared informally by personnel for the week unfolding do not include other smaller projects they may be working on or the usual bug fixes. If an anticipated project is not on the list, it could mean that it's frozen due to other priorities, being worked on as a separate non-priority, or has been completed and awaiting testing / release.
