Hello and welcome to another, not one and not only, hotfix reveal! Let us present to you...
new improved way to rotate items (much more intuitive)! When editing a decoration, holding the right mouse button, left-click on it and drag it in the direction in which we want it to rotate. Let me know if you like this way of arranging more ːsteamhappyː PS. Unfortunately for this reason some freshwater plants turned 90 degrees in your games, we are sorry for that, but thanks to this change a new rotation system was possible. It is enough to pick up such a plant and put it back in for it to repair itself
improved inventory! after completing the tutorial (from the level in the basement), the items will go directly to our inventory after purchase, and only when it is full, they will go to the table!
lamps and heaters in the aquarium level no longer fly off when you try to inspect them
guests' rubbish that landed outside the building will be removed and nothing else will get there anymore
fixed bugreporter bugs, now it will no longer break the game after sending it, so feel free to write us some bug letters ːsteamhappyː
our father at the beginning explains where he has so much strength that he is able to lift a filled aquarium by himself
lamps always remember the correct color
one of the materials applied to the wall was incorrectly saved and disappeared when loading, now it works correctly
when letting guests into our locations, we no longer see the currently worn item, while we view our exhibition from different angles
small UI fixes for display text
fixed bug with plants that sometimes became transparent on display
you cannot paint the walls with a paint bucket alone
the power door remains closed after loading the game
many minor bugs fixed
Let us know how you like the new update! Thank you for keeping us informed and improving the game!
Happy to tell you, hotfix #2 is now ready to be downloaded!

removed bug with the mouse disappearing and preventing from endind some conversations...
