Construction Company's Major Update Targets Early October, Unlocks at Level 10

After a quieter-than-usual period of public communication, MadeRZ has explained the silence: development focus has shifted from isolated features to integrating new systems into a coherent whole. As of the announcement's publication on September 27, 2026, the developer aimed to ship the update during the first week of October.

What's changing

  • A new game stage unlocks at Level 10, when the player's company has accumulated sufficient money, equipment, and resources to pursue licenses and more serious contracts.
  • The new stage introduces licenses, major projects, tenders, and subcontractors — though the developer notes these systems are still being connected and are not yet final.
  • Reaching Level 10 is being made somewhat faster and more convenient to smooth the path to the new content.
  • A sofa in the Personal Office will allow players to speed up time — intended for moments when all crews are busy and there is nothing to do but wait.
  • The update includes compatibility with old save files and existing contracts.
  • The last major window in the new UI was completed on the day of posting; integration into the game had just begun.

The early levels are explicitly described as remaining a tutorial in company management, with the deeper simulation only opening after that mid-game threshold. For players already past Level 10, or nearing it, this update represents the point where the game's scope meaningfully expands.

Construction Company Launches on Steam from Solo Developer MadeRZ

Construction Company, developed under the banner Single Game Production, is now available on Steam. The announcement was posted by author MadeRZ on August 28, 2026, marking the game's transition from wishlist project to full release.

The launch post is brief by design — its primary purpose is to acknowledge the release and open lines of communication with players who encounter problems.

What the developer has said

  • The game is officially out now
  • Bug reports and issues can be submitted via:
    • A pinned Steam discussion thread
    • Email
    • Steam reviews
    • Social platforms where the project is followed
  • The developer states they will be monitoring reports closely over the coming days

No feature list, pricing, or system requirements appear in the source material. What the announcement does convey is the posture of a solo or small developer staying close to their community at launch — an approach that tends to matter in the days immediately following release, when early issues surface fastest.

For players who wishlisted the game, the wait is over; for those encountering problems, direct channels to the developer are open.
