Clear everything in the editor so we can start from scratch.

You can use these buttons to pick whether you want to lease or buy an empty plot. Construction is very expensive, so it is recommended that you start off leasing, but note that renting is a lot more expensive in the long run. You can relocate your company any time you want during gameplay.

Here you can see a list of buildings you can buy outright or lease your way into. Next to each picture you can see whether a building is "For rent" or "For sale". Note that the "Building area" for buildings you can lease into defines the maximum area you can lease as you expand your company.

Click the Pick map button to pick your starting environment

You can pick how many days you want per month. 1 month lasts for 1 day by default. The game was made with this pace in mind and it is therefore the recommended setting. If you feel the game is going too fast or you want a couple of days to earn money between having to pay bills, you can increase this setting. Be aware that everything will move slower to match the setting you pick and you can't change it later on.

Difficulty can be changed at any point in the game by going to the options menu. You can click the question mark to see what the current difficulty level affects or click {H:Custom} to pick your own rules.

You can change what year you want to start in here. Starting later will give you the full power of modern tech and digital distribution, but your competitors will be more established.

Pick how much money you want to start with. You start with {StartingFunds} by default, any additional funds will be taken as loans. Note that you need at least {StartingPlot} if you would rather purchase an empty plot, than lease rooms in a building.

You can enable any mods here, which will be bound to the game forever. You won't be able to enable or disable mods after your game has started, as they fundamentally alter how the game is played, but you can share your save game with others, without having to install the mods again.

You are now done customizing your founder. Let's begin choosing the rules of the game!

You can add up to 4 founders, but only 1 represents you and the rest will require a share of the company. You will have to pay dividends of any profit to other share holders, so each extra founder will reduce your profit margin.

You can also skip picking creativity and specializations by disabling advanced mode and just letting the game pick it for you.

You can change your employees specialization points by clicking the highlighted stars down here. Specialization levels control which tasks your employee can complete. Remember to check the other roles by using the dropdown. Clicking the {H:Random} button will pick random specialization levels for the points you have left. You can further educate and train your founder to gain skill and specializations in the game.

Above your founder's skills is their creativity, which affects the quality of the ideas they come up with when designing a product. Increasing your founder's creativity will lower their maximum skill level and add demands. This is not very important early on and is probably best left where it is for your first game.

Here you can pick your founder's skill points which will affect the performance of your founder. Skills are balanced and the maximum amount of skill you can assign to begin with depends on the difficulty you choose.

You can pick your founders traits down here. Some might be locked based on the personality traits you've picked. You can click on unlocked traits to toggle them on and off.
