🎉 First Major Feature Update!
Hey Arcade Managers!
We're excited to roll out Patch v0.2.0, the first major feature update for Arcade Management Simulator! This update marks a big step forward — laying the foundation for deeper mechanics, smarter systems, and a more rewarding player experience.
From financial control through loans, to a fully reworked retail and shipping system, this patch opens up new ways to grow, customize, and fine-tune your arcade empire. Let's dive in!
🚀 Major New Features
🏦 Bank Loan App
Need a cash boost? Take out loans from the bank to upgrade, expand, and dominate faster. But be careful — interest adds up!🌟 Customer Reviews System
Your arcade is now under the spotlight! Customers leave reviews that influence foot traffic — better service = more customers!
Check out all the feedback in the new Reviews App.📦 Advanced Shipping System
The online shop now features three shipping options:Instant Delivery (costly but immediate)
Regular Delivery (balanced)
Next Day Free Delivery (budget-friendly, but delayed)
This adds a strategic layer to inventory planning and arcade stocking.

🚶♂️ NPC Walking Animation Fix
⚖️ Rebalanced machine and item pricing to feel more realistic.
