GearCity Open Beta 1.13 has been completed and uploaded! 1.13 mainly focuses on your suggested features. I made a good dent, but I'm not finished yet! The game should be easier to play when managing large companies!


More importantly, GearCity has been accepted to Steam!

We'll be working on the full version of the game for 1.14. Expect GearCity to be on Steam Early Access sometime in the near future. This does not mean Open Beta will end! Everything we do to the full game will be applied to the Open Beta. Although Open Beta will still be limited to years 1900 to 1930. The 1.14 patch will probably be very small for Open Beta users however the Early Access build should be the entire game from 1900 to 2020. I highly recommend buying the Full Early Access build from Steam. (Because It's cheaper than retail and it supports me! )
