This is pointless.  I am using your newest version.  I am not stupid you know I am WELL aware of how to release a CPU and how to research and how to play this simple game.  Unfortunately it does not work and so I am moving on, you lost a player.

I play the game via the following link:

https://haxor1337.itch.io/hardware-tycoon

To start out, you first have to do a company name + ceo name and click on what level of difficulty, which I choose medium.  To begin the game, if you want to make any $$ whatsoever you first must research the 'chip', so click on chip an research begins.    From there you have the chip with Dip 14 + 200 KHZ already to go.  You can research Dip 18 or 400 KHZ ~or~ 10 UM.  if you research 10 UM more of the technology tree should pop up.  If you research 400 KHZ it progresses to 700 or whatever is the next speed up and so on so forth.  For the remainder of the game, the game itself is not allowing the r/d 'tree' to progress, *SEE PICTURES*.  What you see in the photo's is as far as I can get the R + D tree to go, period.  It will  not spawn the new technology after you research what is initially there.

Again, I have more $$ than I could possibly need + I have my budget set to 100%.  Nothing will spawn in these boxes.  It is a "bug" in the game if you play thru the above link using Windows 10.  The first time I played this game, thru a different game service, I was able to progress thru the technology tree.  But using the link above, I cannot progress any further on the technology tree than what you see in the picture's below.  I've tried again and again and again and it wont let me.

Haxor...

At this point I think your trying to avoid the problem that R + D "will not allow" you to research beyond the initial tier.

What I can research under the newest version is:  CPU Development; 14 Pin Dip; 400 KHZ clock speed+ 10 UM.  Once I research these item's... NOTHING else spawns in the R+D Tab.  I get nothing to spawn all the way to the game ends.  I can see the tree or space where research is supposed to go.. but nothing is in the spot to research, it's blank.  I have research set to 100% budget, still nothing.

I have play the game again and again and again and cannot get research options to spawn.  It's an issue with the current version of the game maybe a bug on your end but on my end Windows 10, there is no issue with my system or pc.  I am an advanced game player I am sure I can navigate the game as you designed.

Research + Development is not working.   After I research everything, new research options are  not spawning into the R/D screen.  I am literally stuck at 10 UM or anything before 1980.  I have plenty of money, have my budget set to 100%, it's a bug on your system.  Please fix.  I would hate to quite playing and go elsewhere but there's no point playing this if I cant research anything.

Haxor.   I know this.

It's not working, I clicked on it, as I said in message.  I have my budget set to 100%.  I have more money than I could even need.  The R/D is not progressing past 10 UM.  It wont progress pass 1980.  This is a bug in your system, not on my end.

R+D is not progressing in the game.  It seems to be getting stuck @ 10 Um (chip development).  

Although I have research budget set @ max, it does not progress.  It's stuck.

Without R/D, there is no point in in playing the game @ the current version as your product will never make $$ as your competitors gain new technology.  Without a fix, playing this game is pointless.
