Update 4d — Founder Levels & Scaling Difficulty — Idle Startup Steam update #177229

The endgame no longer collapses to minutes after a few refounds. The game scales with you — as your company grows (Founder Store upgrades), skills take more XP to level, so reaching 99 stays a real climb instead of trivial once you've prestiged. Refound early and often — difficulty is pegged to your power, never to how many times you've refounded, so refounding more is always worth it. Your Founder Level and current XP multiplier now show in the Founders Club. Hiscores tracking has begun behind the scenes (all-time XP and your best times to 99), getting ready for global leaderboards. Leaderboards are next!
