Regrettably full of slop artefacts: bugs, presumably from vibe-coding; incomplete or inconsistent translations into, of all languages, German; and, naturally, the dreaded piss filter over what little art there is. I get it, it's to keep the price low, but I'd rather pay a tenner or more for something proper.
With Buerokratie Idler: Germany and ClickAssist, I released my first two projects on Steam. The fact that I managed to publish projects of my own, and that people were willing to pay for them, means a lot to me. I want to thank everyone who supported me. At the same time, I want to be honest: Neither project meets my own quality standards anymore. I'm a passionate gamer myself, with hundreds of games in my Steam library. Looking at indie releases, I keep noticing how much low-effort, sometimes AI-generated slop is appearing on the platform. As a player, that bothers me, and I don't want my own releases to add to the problem. That's why I've decided to make both projects free. I won't remove them. They were my first steps as a developer, I learned an incredible amount from them, and despite my criticism of my own work, I'm proud that I released them at all. Going forward, I want to spend more time on visuals, details, and the overall quality of my work. Ultimately, I want to make games I'd enjoy playing myself. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. – Aaron

Examples include: • Central Register Cross-Check • Fugitive Data Cross-Check • Crisis Management Center • Batch Release • Automated Pension Processing • Budget Management • Cabinet Coordination 🎨 New Visuals The expansion includes a large set of new visuals for the additional offices and upgrades.
