Hey everyone,
Giulio has now fully wrapped his head around the Movierooms codebase, he’s been experimenting with more intuitive solutions, improving features, and -most importantly- fixing many of the issues you reported. Below is a list of improvements, bug fixes… And also proof that sometimes the game likes to troll its own developers...
Features:
Room building mode finally fixed! Let us know if it feels much smoother now, we really think it does.
Watch video on YouTube (opens in a new tab) New employee interaction: click and hold on staff members to pick them up and move them wherever you want! The dedicated animation will be available soon.
Question for you: what animation would you like to see? Scared employee? Angry? Something else?
Let us know!
Bug Fixes:
Tutorial breaking when pressing ESC → fixed!
Projectionist getting stuck in the projection room (freezing even after being dismissed) → fixed, including movement speed issues.
Doors tilted or misplaced, causing NPCs to get stuck walking in place → fixed!
Improvements:
Improved zoom speed (+ and −).
Faster and more responsive employee hiring sidebar.
Tutorial reworked: it was still a bit confusing before, now you’re fully guided step by step. Try it in the 1900 level!
In upcoming updates:
Save system (finally!)
Better notifications/warnings that better explain the issues that may arise, such as when customers get stuck if they cannot enter the rooms or take their seats.
Daily missions that are balanced and not random like they are now. The system works, now we just need to guide you so you can have more fun.
Note for the 1900 level: the Statistics Page cannot be closed for now. As a temporary workaround, simply click on another menu to exit the screen. A brand-new interface is on the way!
UI improvements for the Statistics Page and several small refinements.
Updated special mission text box for the 1900 level (new interface coming with it!).
General text improvements: better size, readability, and full localization. Some lines were still outside the translation system, we’re gradually migrating everything.
Bathrooms: they are currently out of service (sorry for the inconvenience!). It seems we “lost” their functionality during recent updates. They will be fully operational again soon!
Correction of the "Jump" gamebouard to start level 1900
Bug: localization daily missions (1930 + Sandbox, they do not switch from one language to another)
Other Bug fixing.
Bug of shame
Take a look at this bug that drove us a little crazy… Yes, sometimes Movierooms likes to mess with us too.
See you soon!
