EA 1.1.0 - new game mode

17 Dec

Hello

Four weeks have passed since the release. During the first dozen or so days, we mainly focused on fixing bugs. There were also several improvements and a few new features. However, today’s update jumps from EA 1.0.11 to EA 1.1.0. Despite spending two weeks primarily on fixes, we made an effort to deliver new features and improve overall gameplay quality. We also added a new mode that many of you asked for. Unfortunately, we are postponing printer updates to Q1 2026, as this update requires more than two weeks of work to ensure everything works exactly as intended.

Free Play Mode

Many of you wanted a mode where you could complete tasks without time pressure or penalties. Starting today, Free Play Mode is available. You can access it from the menu under the Learning button. This mode has no time limit. You can exit it at any moment. Progress is not saved in this mode. The mode received a dedicated tablet application where the player generates tasks for specific hardware. Each task can be completed an unlimited number of times. Every task includes a title and a description.

Other changes:

Added:

From now on, when a USB flash drive is connected to a USB port, it is displayed as a physical object connected to the USB ports. Additionally, it indicates the exact port it is plugged into.
A navigation option has been added to tasks – the game highlights the device referenced in the task.
For the Run, Terminal, and Powershall applications, appropriate commands have been added to launch the Task Manager.
Display settings have been added – we decided to introduce dedicated monitor settings. We did not see this request in any survey, email, or forum post, but we chose to add this option anyway.
Tablet – Notes application. You can save notes such as passwords or problem solutions.
Task Manager application added – if an application freezes, for example during a system scan, you can now close it.
A coffee machine has been added – currently it does not have any meaningful function.
The option to finish the day from 3:00 PM via an early exit (items must be left in the locker). The player receives a penalty of 20 reputation points for leaving work early. This is a good option for players who need to end their session suddenly and save the game.
A new website for calculating subnet masks has been added.
Japanese and Korean languages have been added.
The option to disconnect WiFi on the tablet has been added.
An animation for ending the day has been added.
12 new tasks have been added, including tasks related to access points and monitors, along with several task updates.

Changed:

The AP login page has received a visual update.
The AP page has been updated with new features and tabs.
The task preview layout has been changed.
A second row of links has been added to the browser to expand information about in-game websites. The user workstation still has only one row of links.
The jobbly link leading to an external website now displays an appropriate message before opening.
All tasks now have a new hint type. In some tasks, the hint becomes available after a certain amount of time.
The ForumHelp thread related to subnet mask calculation has been expanded.
The restart button on the RCP disappears when it cannot be used.
The penalty for not returning items to the locker (theft) has been increased from 50 to 70 reputation points.
The animation for exiting to the menu (option with save loss) has been sped up.
Task hints become available after 30% of the task time has elapsed.

Fixed:

Fixed the display of settings in the BIOS – some elements disappeared on the first entry into the settings.
One of the PDA thresholds in player statistics was displayed incorrectly.
Two printer-related tasks were checking the condition incorrectly. The issue was that the game compared the first three octets with the full IP address, which is incorrect.
The RCP could be restarted multiple times at the same moment.
Code improvements in several applications.
Code improvements in the RCP.

New and updated models:

The computer model has been slightly modified – in the future it will feature a fully detailed interior, which will also lead to new types of tasks related to, for example, RAM and the battery.
- 2 x audio jacks
- Power button
- 2 x LEDs (power and disk)
- Graphics card (early model) with two HDMI ports
- 4 x USB 3.0 ports on the back of the computer

Art style change

In the game, you may notice that some models look different from others. We are in the process of replacing models and graphics. Previously, objects had a flat color applied; the new models will feature hand-painted textures.

EA 1.0.11 - Changes to the OScypek system, PDF files and other files

27 Nov

Hello everyone!

Today marks exactly one week since the game’s release. Over 7,000 players have already played our game, which is currently in Early Access! We are incredibly grateful for that!
Today we’re bringing an update containing bug fixes you’ve been reporting to us on Discord and via email. We’ve also added a few small features.
You can expect the next update with new mechanics, tasks, applications and more in mid-December!

Freeplay Mode

We know that many of you are waiting for the freeplay mode. We are currently working on this mode. It will be handled through a dedicated app on the tablet, where you will select the device type and the task you want to train. Of course, this mode will have no time limits and will default to Easy mode, meaning all hints will be available.

Added:

System installation – added a new window view during the file-copying stage from the USB drive. If you disconnect the USB stick, you will receive an appropriate message. In previous views, the installer would simply close and the system would attempt to boot using the default option – Boot Menu
Unlocked system installation/repair tasks – due to fixing the bugs related to this part of the game

Fixed:

Tasks related to the BIOS no longer cause issues with booting computers – the problem occurred mainly in one specific task
Fixed the office printer task – the task was not checking one of the conditions (although it was still marked as completed)
The router now receives the correct IP address after restoring factory settings – previously it incorrectly received an x.x.122.1 address
The switch and router now receive the correct login and password after factory reset
Fixed the post-processing options in the menu (incorrect loading order)
FileExplorer app on the tablet – fixed the context menu, buttons no longer overflow the screen, scroll fixed
PDF Reader app on the tablet – scroll fixed, and opening a new PDF now correctly resets the view to page one
Network outlet data should now load correctly for Easy and Medium difficulty levels
Fixed an issue where pressing the Play button in the Menu triggered multiple animations

Changed:

Changed the BIOS startup key to F10
Rebuilt the boot sequence after launching from BIOS or after a blue screen
More tasks have been updated and now include a new type of hint
Changes to the PDF file system
Saving PDF files on the tablet – PDF files downloaded on versions EA 1.0.9 or EA 1.0.10 are not compatible. When you try to open them, you will see a corrupted file message
The system now installs with the Admin user folder – only when using newly downloaded ISO files
Changed the sequence for transitioning to the exit sequence after 23:00

Before you play

If you continue your playthrough using an old save, make sure to delete the old PDF files from both your computer and tablet. Additionally, reinstall the new version of OScypek onto your USB drive!

Early Access Review

I don't have experience with IT so it was a different game for me to play. It had me thinking of how to solve the problem. At one time I thought maby I shoulda picked easy mode but I am happy I sticked with medium.
It is fun but also buggy.
I completed a task but for some reason the task wouldn't complete and also when I emptied my invetory and left for home the game said I stole from the company. Also it can be annoying with trying to close an app in the phone. It gets stuck a lot.
Finishing a task does feel rewarding and I got upset when the game telling me to quit it is the end of the shift. I didn't wanna quit the game I wanted to finish the job. I am doing a task I wanna finish it.

Early Access Review

Game definitely has potential, but right now there are too many bugs. Getting stuck at workstations, (E key doesn't do anything) escape key to check tickets and mark them complete randomly stops working (screen dims). Needs a quick or autosave option, as right now it appears the only point to save is when you end the day. If you run into a bug with 30 minutes left in the day, you have to start the entire day over because you didn't make it to the save point. Another patch or two to iron out some of the bugs currently present, and I will revise my review.

Install OS Will Not Progress

When you have to install a new OS off of a thumb drive, even if you select the thumb drive with the IOS loaded onto it, it will not progress. It just keeps on returning to the option selection screen.
