After release: working towards Era 8
Idle Holdings is released. Its next content step needs to build on the existing holding.
Releasing Idle Holdings did not finish the project for me. Era 8 is the next focus. At the same time, the released version is already being played on people’s devices.
New businesses alone do not make a new era. Production chains, research and earlier decisions need to fit. I want the continuation to feel like a useful next chapter.
I keep the current download separate from work in progress. Screenshots on the game page show the existing build. I will announce a date for Era 8 when there is a reliable one.
The journal will follow those decisions: which chains emerge, where the transition causes friction and what needs to change in play. Today this is a development focus, not an announcement of a finished update.
