Dedicated maintenance duty: Assign a programmer to maintenance from the Employees panel and they handle your contracts automatically – every month their freshly raised bugs and feature requests are pulled from the backlog and resolved, no card-shuffling required. Each maintenance worker keeps up to four contracts serviced; staff up as your portfolio grows. A worker on maintenance duty is bound to it (they read as busy everywhere), so it's a real trade-off: that developer is off active projects in exchange for hands-off, penalty-free upkeep.
Branch offices that earn their rent: Branch offices no longer just add desks. Each location now raises your active project cap (Branch +2, Coworking/Remote +1) on top of any meeting rooms, and contributes a passive monthly reputation bonus from its regional presence. Expanding finally unlocks more parallel contracts.
Improvements
Clearer office view: Each branch office card now shows the project slots and monthly reputation it grants, so the value of expanding is visible at a glance.
Localized everywhere: The maintenance duty controls and branch office benefits ship in all 28 Steam languages.
