🎬 We added 3 brand new levels where you will meet a host of our charismatic VIPs Tony and Nat!
"You recently earned your spurs in the eyes of your bear friend... His family wants more from you though — a large amount of money, for starters, but also respect, loyalty... and fear, it's the least you could do. Fortunately, you're in Tony's good books and he wants to teach you a few more tricks of the trade.
Level 1 : Insert Coin
Ending up in the desert at the edge of Las Venas wasn't part of your plan... To its credit, this damn bus took you up to this dusty casino in front of you. Maybe fate is waiting for you around a table game area, who knows?
With your heart filled with hope and your last dime in your hand, you're entering a creaky casino in the desert to try your luck on a slot machine.
Level 2 : A Cog in the Mob
So you got your very own casino, but also inherited its debts in the process… Now you have Tony on your arse. He gives you an outdated casino at the edge of the desert for you to run. The place is rather quiet… a haven of peace for mobsters who need to get rid of “scraps” and “offcuts”.
Make this place comfy enough to attract Tony's lackeys and give them some good time.
Level 3: Welcome to Welfaradise!
Thanks to Owlner, you now owe a tidy sum to the city council of Las Nevas...
Fortunately enough, Nat has a job for you: a casino is due to open in the suburb to bring "opportunities" up... The mayor calls it "a welfare program"…
📄 Great rework of the UI, we made changes in the Research tree and Pitboss panels.
💬 Revamped dialogue menus and systems!
🗺 There is a new 3D level selector which displays our first biome (the desert!).
👩🌾 A new decoration theme: you will be able to enjoy a full range of Far West items.
💃 Plenty of new animations for our characters and VIPs
There’s one very important aspect to a casino that must never be overlooked… The aesthetic of your casino sets the scene and ensures your visitors keep coming back.
We’ve taken this mantra and applied it to our latest art and logo! Check it out!
And if that isn’t enough we have a New Demo coming very, very soon!
Starting today, 31st January, the Blooming Business: Casino Playtest is now live until February 7th!
