Update V0.2 is now live!

Hello everyone!

First, we'd like to say thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey. The response has been amazing and we're looking forward to bringing you along with us as we continue onward and make this the best game we can.

With today's update, comes an entirely new feature, new products, and quite a few fixes and improvements.

Scanner

The scanner has been one of our most requested community features. It can now be bought in the Depot Max app for 2000 Bleps once you hit player level 20. You can use it to quickly reorder stock throughout your store without having to mess with opening and closing your tablet.

New Products

7 new books and a new comic book have been added and are ready to unlock in the licenses tab of the Books'N More app.

Fixes and Improvements

Numerous fixes and improvements are included. Please see below for a full change log.

We thank you all for joining us and want to thank our community for the great suggestions, bug reports, and being part of our EA development process.
