MEGA LOCKDOWN UPDATE 45 Updates/Fixes - Research Tree - Save System
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 Profile system which allows you to have multiple campaigns on-going at the same time. Campaign level saves are tied to each profile.
~ Added a progress bar to objectives to show how close you are to completing them.
~ Added a Save system which allows you to make countless amounts of saves for any level you are in.

Arcade Tycoon is now localised in German, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian, Czech, Spanish!
Hope you are all keeping safe and well.
We have just dropped another update on Steam for you all (making this 7th Major update). We've been working extra hard to get some exciting new content to you, and we are very excited to show you our new overhauled queuing system. This changes the way we allow the AI to find a machine to use and hopefully provides you with more visual feedback on which machines you may need more of.
Also in this update, we are now providing localisation for 12 new languages, this is an ongoing process and not every language will be 100% localised in each update, but we will try to stay on top of it for each major new update.
