Today we are happy to share with you that The Invisible Hand now has French language support. A message from the developer Bonjour! If economical viability was the sole reason to do things, life would be boring. We just had to see Will's awesome jokes translated to our own mother tongue. So we took it upon ourselves and did it! We're glad to finally be able to give you the French version of The Invisible Hand! Setting aside the grind that is transforming close to 50k words to even more than that (French is so verbose..), being able to infuse our own frog-eater cultural references in it was a lot of fun. On espère que vous aimerez!

As a trader, you’ve amassed enough wealth for FERIOS that somebody in the Miller Family Office has decided to retain you as their personal financial advisor. Will you fail miserably, or will you be so successful that even more powerful and shadowy members of the family make you their golden goose instead? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34139347/28daa2de775cdd13e84cf5c855e58b924c5fd43e.png In this update to The Invisible Hand, explore a new and improved Endless Mode that will allow you to gradually control entire percentages of the global economy on behalf of the wealthiest people nobody has ever heard of. MAY YOU COME TO THE ATTENTION OF THOSE IN POWER. With the Succession System, you’ll gradually earn the trust of wealthier and wealthier members of the Miller clan, progressively restarting the game with an increasingly prestigious group of sociopaths to impress - and unscrupulous new advantages to help you do it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34139347/1aa152bccc55bcf86adf4967f1d5f878016edf18.png MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES.

Do you have what it takes to make the numbers so big that it forces us to patch the game to allow for even bigger numbers?

The choice is yours.

The past month has been hectic and we’ve been cooking up a ton of things that we can’t yet talk about but you can expect extremely cool announcements in April. As much as I want to purchase an island on credit to go live off-the-grid for a few years, we live in a society and THERE IS STILL WORK TO DO. Balancing This one is quite hard to do - there’s as many ways to play as there are players and they all want to feel challenged yet satisfied with their performance. How dare they. Our patented trademarked exclusive in-house Trading Software can be quite complex for beginners, and striking the balance between delivering enough features to provide a satisfying gameplay experience at each moment of the competition while not overwhelming probationary analysts is delicate. We’ve added a Glossary to the interface so you can get a refresher on complex terms and features, worked on the overall difficulty and rhythm of competitions, and if that’s still not enough you can switch to Story Mode for a blissful and carefree experience if you lose. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34139347/86834546e83544f12b58a6f82dedaa496c17409e.png Is this the Dark Souls of trading games? Environment We’ve been using the same flat skybox for years but we decided we needed something a little more 3D. Who wouldn’t want huge piles of concrete and glass as a view? It’s also a great way to contextualize what can happen if you fiddle with the economy a little too hard. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34139347/13c749258117ab5d0f0334f0bf820951ae763779.png This is fine.
