The Capitalism Lab Script Generator

We’re pleased to announce that Capitalism Lab post-release beta version 12.0.16 is now available for download.

Highlighted New Features

Capitalism Lab version 12.0 introduces a host of new features, and this newsletter spotlights a selection of them.

Added portraits and bios of influential people in the Influential 100 Chart for the City Economic Simulation DLC

The Influential 100 Chart now features vivid portraits and brief biographies, transforming each entry from a mere name into a memorable personality. This upgrade adds richer depth and a more immersive feel to your gameplay.

Redesigned Built-in Advertising System in Experimental DLC

You can now link several media firms to a single built-in advertising unit. After connecting them, simply select any product in your company and use the slider to set its monthly advertising budget.

For instance, imagine your built‑in advertising system is connected to three media firms, each allocating $100,000 per month, giving you a combined monthly pool of $300,000. Setting a product’s advertising budget to 20% would assign it $60,000 of that total.

This update provides a more versatile and powerful advertising system, allowing you to promote your products more effectively.

Get Experimental DLC FOR FREE when you own all four of the following DLCs: Subsidiary DLC, City Economic Simulation DLC, Digital Age DLC and Banking and Finance DLC.

Experimental DLC is a unique bridge between new ideas and established content, allowing players to experience the latest game developments firsthand. It's a fantastic opportunity to try out the newest innovations before they are released in official DLCs.

Visually Improved New Game Settings Menu

This version features a redesigned New Game Settings menu that gives the game a more modern look.

Performance Boost – New "Skip Frames When Mouse is Idle" Feature.

This version introduces the "Skip Frames When the Mouse is Idle", a smart new option that dramatically speeds up simulation runs at maximum game speed.

Here’s how it works:
When you’re running the game at full speed and your mouse is idle (no panning or clicking), the game no longer renders every single frame. Instead, it periodically renders just one frame while skipping several in between. This cuts down the video processing workload and lets the simulation fly through in-game years much quicker.

We ran tests with a demanding setup: 50 companies, 7 cities, 2 in-game years at max speed. The results speak for themselves:

Expanded Persons – Wealth Report

The Persons – Wealth Report has been expanded with new tabs that display each individual’s assets on separate pages, including Bank Deposits, Stocks, Bonds, and Properties.

City Economic Simulation DLC Infographic

The City Economic Simulation DLC is the second expansion for Capitalism Lab. If you haven’t tried it before, we have prepared an easy-to-read infogram summarizing its features.

Dual Roles as Tycoon and Politician: Manage your private corporation while influencing political campaigns to elect a mayor, then switch to government mode to enact policies and build civic infrastructure like hospitals, schools, and parks.

Economic Growth and Job Market: Corporate expansion creates jobs, attracts residents, reduces unemployment, and boosts the city’s overall economy through realistic simulations of GDP components (consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports).

Quality of Life Management: Balance civic investments to improve the Quality of Life index, drawing in more citizens and businesses, while funding operations via taxes—juggling rates to avoid avoid curbing business expansion.

Ultra-Realistic Macroeconomics: Experience booms, busts, inflation, wage fluctuations, and interest rate changes driven by city-wide economic interactions, creating emergent challenges and opportunities.

Political and Business Integration: Form and guide political parties, use influence for business advantages, construct landmarks, pursue city-specific goals, and tackle new scenarios that test strategic depth.

Enrich Your Capitalism Lab Experience with DLC

Service Industry DLC expands the game by allowing players to build and manage shopping malls, diverse service firms like fast food restaurants and coffee shops, and enhance their supply chains with import, export, and logistics companies. It introduces integrated retail spaces within apartment and commercial buildings, a challenging "Cash-strapped Startup" mode, and six new scenarios to test strategic skills.

Banking and Finance DLC simulates the financial world with a level of realism that is unprecedented in video games. You can now build a business empire on a truly epic scale by extending its reach to the lucrative banking and insurance industries. It also greatly expands the types of financial strategy that you can execute by allowing you to issue and trade bonds, invest in global stocks, do stock splits, and pay out special dividends.
