Update v0.4.4 – Bug Fixes, Gameplay Improvements & Balancing

📣 Update v0.4.4

📅 December 30, 2025

Hi everyone,

Update v0.4.4 is now live, bringing a mix of bug fixes, gameplay improvements, and balance adjustments aimed at making the overall experience smoother and more consistent.

🐞 Fixed

• Fixed an issue where mouse sensitivity was not stored correctly in memory, causing inconsistent behavior.

• Fixed a bug where boxes would not correctly reflect their item count when the player was standing close.

• Fixed a cleanliness issue where too many trash objects could spawn at once.

🔄 Improved

• Improved checkout transaction flow — the next customer now proceeds smoothly without waiting for the previous one to fully walk away.

• Refined the cleanliness system:

  • Trash spawn amount now scales better with the number of customers in the shop.

  • Cleaning time per trash reduced from 2.0s to 1.5s for better pacing.

• Adjusted low-star worker performance, slightly increasing their work speed.

🛠️ Changed

• Updated the cash register model for better visibility and easier money handling.

  • As part of this change, the $50 bill has been removed.

As always, thank you for the continued feedback. It directly helps improve the game step by step. More refinements and fixes are already planned, and happy New Year! 🎉
