Come say hi DISCORD HERE

Welcome back to another update for Arcade Tycoon.
It's only been a few months since our last update, but we've been hard at work adding more content and finishing up some of the major features in the game.

Contracts are a new feature that we are very excited to have now in the game. You can choose from a list of contracts that provide cash and star rewards for completing, and for every 5 contracts that you complete, you gain a Contract Coin which can be used to purchase a unique machine.

We've also overhauled our pause system. With this new system, you can now perform a lot more actions including moving and placing machines as well as redecorating. This change will give you no excuse now to build the perfect arcade without the worry of a ticking clock.

Another new addition to the game is the Entertainer, this new Staff Type will roam around your arcade bringing joy and happiness to all while providing a nice boost to your appeal.

The tutorial has been reworked to bring it back up to date with the game. We've also made it easier to read while providing you with the information needed to run a successful arcade.

On top of all this, we've worked tirelessly on adding more tooltips, hints and quality of life changes to the game, as well as fixing numerous bugs.
Onto the patch notes:
