'Good Company' Early Access Update Adds Features, Improvements And Bugfixes

by Rainier on June 24, 2020 @ 6:25 p.m. PDT

Good Company is a single-player and multiplayer management simulation game about building, automating, and optimizing your machine and robot manufacturing corporation, set in a colorful, 80s-inspired world.

Business + economics + sales + marketing + profit + business again = SUCCESS! An equation anyone can stick to and a sure-fire way to turn your fledgling venture into a thriving empire. Good Company lets you build your own company from the ground up, starting out in your garage and making critical business decisions that will impact design, research, logistics, production and, ultimately, profit.

Start your Good Company literally with your own hands. Build your first products to turn a profit and invest in growing your workforce. Hire employees and scale your business! Only a firm foundation will pave your road to success.

With great wealth comes great responsibility. Organize and automate your workflow, allowing you the freedom to dream even bigger. Design increasingly complex products to please the markets and take your enterprise to the next level. Remember to keep your employees in mind, though. Happy workers make better products, but then again, robots never sleep...

Good Company is getting an update today giving players access to new features to help streamline managing their businesses while also allowing them a deeper level of control. The most notable part of the update is the addition of Work Zones, which automate logistics connections for players allowing them greater flexibility. Among the rest of the updates are new production machines, special conveyor belt segments, a new Freeplay map called The Sunny Beach and more.

The Work Zone enhancement in Good Company allows for anything built within Work Zones to automatically have their logistics connections created, meaning that players spend less time editing their connections and are now free to experiment with their setups and focus on the bigger picture of helping their companies succeed to new heights.

Since initial release, the development team has received a myriad of positive feedback from the community. The team has made a focused effort to consider each fan’s feedback and carefully consider it for future updates, and they will continue to do so moving forward.

Special conveyor belt segments now allow players to decide what goes onto (and what comes off) conveyor belts, instead of the previous static A-to-B transportation style. Belts can also be elevated off the floor to free up space and unblock the staff.

Players can look forward to building up and improving their company output and workflow with other key enhancements including:

  • A new 'all-in-one' pallet to handle buying/selling and transportation rules - time is money!
  • A brand new Sunny Beach map that allows players a more relaxed work environment.
  • The ability to change market phases manually while in Freeplay.
  • New production machines for metal processing and case welding that can automatically produce components and modules without the need for staff overhead
  • Updated tutorials in the campaign to catch everyone up on the latest changes.

Good Company is now available through Steam Early Access for $24.99.

Key Features:

  • Singleplayer Campaign Mode
  • Bonus challenge missions
  • Singleplayer Freeplay Mode
  • Hire employees and assign various tasks to them
  • Automate production lines using the powerful ‘Logistics’ system
  • Invent increasingly complex tech products, optimising desirable features and minimizing flaws
  • Research new technologies
  • Sell your products on an evolving market
  • Expand your company

Good Company is coming to PC (Steam) later this year.
