What's new
This update adds a task system, that rewards you with new furniture, when you complete certain tasks. The reward system is meant to guide you through the game's features, so they are not hard to get and the new furniture isn't gating any important mechanics.
I've also fixed the incessant complaint spam that would happen when your employees were being annoying and demanding the most basic of office facilities.
