  Latest news: Where We've Been and Where We're Going

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41921751/0205cffbd1be33f3b41014b8b2ad6bf0e05e1b4b.png The update will arrive in early August! A big surprise is coming for existing O.A.C players in June, and it will be completely free for you! Detailed information will be shared within two weeks. Hello everyone! Over the past few months, I’ve received a lot of feedback from you—and you’re absolutely right. There haven’t been any updates for a while. As you know, I’m developing O.A.C solo. Unfortunately, I experienced a personal setback due to an accident, which significantly slowed my progress. That said, I’ve still been moving forward. Thanks to the revenue earned since O.A.C’s launch, I’ve managed to upgrade my development setup. My old system was holding back progress, but now with a new and much faster setup, development is finally gaining serious momentum! What Happened to the 3 Delayed Updates? You’ll receive all three delayed updates at once in a major release. Current Progress – Pre-Alpha Almost Complete! I’m 85% done with the pre-alpha phase, and the upcoming update will most likely mark the first official alpha release of O.A.C! What’s Changing Based on Your Feedback? Your feedback made it clear: O.A.C has a strong concept, but it’s also a complex and difficult strategy game. To address that: Core mechanics have been simplified UI and UX have been completely redesigned Advanced systems are now hidden until they’re actually needed These improvements will be part of the upcoming update! Why Has Development Been Slow? This isn’t an excuse, but a reminder: I’m working on O.A.C completely solo. This game isn’t driven by financial motives—it’s my dream project. I’ve poured years into it, and I’ll continue doing so to make it the best it can be. What to Expect in the Alpha Version Here’s what’s already included in the current pre-alpha (85% complete): 24 country maps Bureaucracy, world events, diplomacy, military & economy systems Simplified game interface Clearer core mechanics Hidden advanc...

  Bug fixes after February 16 Regular Update | #2

  Hello everyone! I could not share an informative post after the February 16 Update. However, you will soon receive a detailed post about all the changes and the process. I work non-stop almost every hour and strive to make it better. Your support will increase this speed and make me more motivated. Thank you so much for doing this! Some of the bug fixes you reported; + UI bugs detected and resolved as a result of your feedback. + Observed bugs of 7 countries open to testing have been fixed. + Minor economy fixes made + "Mobile Phone" has been added to the communication tools. + City tests were carried out in the USA, UK, Germany and Turkey, Greece and Azerbaijan. Simple errors detected were fixed. + Added Save/Load system (It may not seem to be fully working yet, but the saves you make are functional.) You may need to clear your progress several times until the Save/Load system is fully integrated. I will inform you about this. + Errors on the country selection screen have been completely resolved. + Technology shops are now accessible in cities. This was for testing purposes and other buildings will be fully active in the March 15 update. + Fixed data loading error in President of the United States / U.K details. We experienced the same problem in political parties and this was also solved. We also experienced this problem in the character brain. I am aware of the data upload error experienced in some countries that have recently opened for testing, the definitive solution to this will come in the March 15 Update. + All building icons have been updated in the right panel "Buildings" tab. In all other tabs, innovations and bug fixes will continue with each update. You know, I'm still in my infancy, but keep working non-stop! I will give you my best. Regards!
