Discord https://discord.gg/HTYaJJR Hey @everyone, As always we hope you are all keeping safe and well. We've been hard at work putting together the latest update 0.7.0 for Arcade Tycoon on Steam for you all! This update sees some pretty exciting and new game mechanics and features that we hope that you'll enjoy testing out. The two main features of this update include a completely overhauled Happiness system. This changes the way your Happiness score is calculated, meaning that it now takes into account every customer that has ever visited your arcade. The second main feature is a completely new Save System! This new system will allow you to create multiple profiles with their own separate campaigns allowing you to make countless level saves! Due to the way that the new system works it now means that any saves made from v0.6.1 and before will no longer be compatible with any future updates. We understand however that a lot of you may still want to continue playing on your already existing saves, regarding this, we have made the decision to continue to host v0.6.1 on a separate Steam Beta branch. The 0.6.1 version can be accessed by going to the properties tab for Arcade Tycoon in your steam library. Then select the Betas tab and pick the 0.6.1 version from the drop-down list. Now on to the patch notes --------------------------- ~ Added a Cleaner Bot you can employ to automatically clean the litter in your arcade. ~ Added a customer summary screen to provide more information on the needs of your patrons. ~ Added a manual clean button which enables you to clean up litter in your arcade by clicking on the tile. ~ Added a new repairman who fixes machines as a one-off.
