Hi :) It’s been a little while. Let’s catch up. When we last wrote a little message like this, it was with the balancing notes back in January, so we thought it was about time to give you all a quick update on what we’re up to, and the progress of conclusion for Arcade. To start off with, we must confess that we’re definitely not the well-oiled machine we hoped to be when work resumed. Arcade’s…

Hi :) Now that the full team has returned to work (so good to be back), we’ve started by really taking a good look at the pain points of Arcade to provide a better experience for all players, whether new or old. Starting off, we’ve heard (and experienced) the issue with the right door. It’s a very nice door, but far too many characters decide that the right door is the only door for them, and i…

Hello, everyone. The Arcade has been out for a little while now, and it’s been very clear that things are less than ideal. In our excitement to release the new mode, a few things definitely slipped through the cracks, and the product we delivered is not up to the standard that we want to hold ourselves to, and for that, we are deeply sorry. But, we have been overwhelmed by the support and feedb…

Hi :) Where did that month go? I swear it was right here. We hope you didn’t mistake our silence for laziness, because nothing could be further from the truth. We’ve been hard at work on Arcade, and we are happy to say that we’re now finally in the homestretch. The level is done, almost all of the animations are complete, and we’re editing the audio and starting testing soon to make sure that e…
Nightclub · Increased Nile Room Assignment SFX Volume · Potentially fixed issues with Characters / Customers getting stuck in Rooms This Update also uses a new version of Unity to patch a recently discovered exploit. Due to the game being entirely offline this likely wouldn't have affected anything but might as well :)
