QUALITY OF LIFE

The main focus of this update is improving the game’s economy system, along with several tutorial adjustments to make certain gameplay stages easier to understand.

Cleaning System & Economy

  • Players now receive payment for each collected trash bag.

  • Emptying containers now generates income instead of causing money loss.

  • In exchange for earning money from cleaning, trash now accumulates in the player’s hands, changing the cleaning dynamics.

  • Party cleanup progress is now clearly visible on the cleanliness bar.

Prestige – System Adjustment

  • Players no longer lose money due to low prestige.

  • Financial penalties now apply only for lack of service and lack of cleaning.

  • The system is now more transparent and predictable.

Interaction Improvements

  • TV interaction has been improved (the progress bar now moves slower).

  • Coffee packs no longer “slip away” from the cursor during coffee service.

  • Slightly increased overall sound volume.

  • Unified naming of certain store items.

  • Improved white mouse texture.

Optimization

  • We have completed the first stage of optimization, currently focused on graphical performance improvements.
