Alpha 10.10 highlights (including Alpha 10.9.9)
Changes

- Added secondary role and task system, so certain tasks and roles can be prioritized over others
- Ability to drag selection to rectangle to select employees, furniture and parking spaces (using multi select will filter by current selection)
- Improved selection responsiveness
- Employee walk paths are now drawn when selected
- Snow is now dynamically added to exterior walls, roofs and paths (modding guide here: https://softwareinc.coredumping.com/wiki/index.php/Material_Modding )
- Added grass (you can increase the amount or disable completely in graphics options)
- Employees now walk 25% slower on grass
- Added performance column to active deals
- Road crossings are now added dynamically to improve look of roads and parking
- Added warning to product detail window when product has no more people to sell to
- Elevated roads no longer appear blocky in miniatures
- Added footprints and direction to dirt, and improved dirt spread
- Employees now actively look at what they're interacting with and randomly around when idling and walking
- Replaced newsfeed with offline patch notes in main menu
