[Win] Stuck on preparing development stage [SOLVED]

It is the end of the 28th year and my team doesn’t want to go further than a preparing stage of developing a game :smiley:
Conventions go, R&D works, payments are going to be paid and months are passing but the whole developing team just drinks coffee and doesn’t do anything.
I haven’t figure out yet which file from GDT Cache or Local Storage I need to upload so you could see what happened.

Just read a post in the thread nearby and thought it is the Local Storage folder I need to zip and upload.
So here is the link.

Just the zipped Local Storage folder will do. My guess is that a staff member is stuck somehow so everyone is waiting for him/her. If you send me the files to support@greenheartgames.com I will investigate and fix the issue for you.

@Oscillograph We’re investigating this problem. As a workaround you should be able to continue by sending ‘Robert Gonzalez’ on vacation. This should solve it.

Thanks! It helped to pass through setting the 1st game development stage but “stuck” occured again during the development process (finishing works on Engine). I sent the team to vacation - works continued on gameplay to the moment it should be finished and then situation repeated.

I paid attention on a strange thing: when my own convention started it said that I am presenting a game which I don’t develop (“SC3: Hope”). Actually, I started to develop it but became a bakrupt because of this :smiley: It was an expansion pack to an MMO which was too expensive to maintain. After going bankrupt I just loaded an autosave right before I started to develop that expansion pack. Then I made a decision to shut down servers and start to work on a different game.
I believe an autosave contains an information about that expansion pack “from an alternative playthrough” and this is the reason why dev team receives some type of cognitive dissonance when they look at what they are working on and then look at what they are told to work on :smiley:

Just finished game by waiting for team to get tired so I could send them to vacation xD
Looked at final score and, yes, there is that expansion pack (“Least profitable” line) which came from an alternative universe where my company developed it and thus became a bankrupt =)

I had this same problem today. Did not try the vacation workaround, I just started a new game because I was not doing well in that one anyway.

Is Greenheart working on a permanent fix? (Other than send on vacation)

We are investigating this issue and working towards a fix
