Ongoing Work: Major Improvements in Progress

We want to be transparent - there are two major areas we’re actively addressing:

• Late-game performance degradation

• Employee AI (especially restocking behavior)

We’re currently performing a significant under-the-hood overhaul to tackle both.

Progress update:

• ~25% complete

• Development velocity is increasing

Our goal is to have these fully addressed by the RentNet Update (late June) - or sooner if possible.

What’s Next?

Pier 67 Update (Late May Target)

• New minigames

• New rewards

• …and maybe something extra at the casino 👀

RentNet Update (Late June Target)

• Major performance optimizations

• Full Employee AI overhaul

• Controller + Steam Deck support

• First wave of localization (languages TBD)

Final Notes

We’re continuing to expand:

• Movie Mixing content

• Store decorations

• Player cosmetics

As always, your feedback is shaping the direction of Rewind 99- keep it coming.
