Aislebound 0.7 is now live on the testing branch and will be live for all players on 7/15!
The 0.7 update largely focuses on stepping back and giving some existing systems a little polish, and making some QOL changes.
UI Overhaul
Redesigned several UI elements to give a cleaner, and more consistent layout
Added live news ticker to main menu
Tutorials
The biggest feedback I've gotten is that there isn't enough direction to get players started. The current tutorial system has been removed, and a new guided tutorial 'quest' system has been added. I will go more in depth with this in future updates to cover all gameplay aspects.
Employees
Added morale system
Affected by pay and other working conditions
Employees may quit when morale reaches 0
Added email app
Employees will email with concerns/scenarios
Each decision you make you affect the business, as well as the employee's morale
More scenarios will be added in future updates
Store Customization
Added a store setup wizard that appears when making a new save
Added ability to customize store hours
In a future update you'll have the option to be open 24-hours
Reintroduced store expansion with a more polished system
Expansions can be purchased through the Manage Store app
Expansion areas include sales floor, warehouse, and unloading area
In a future update, more truck bays will be added that will unlock with the expanded unloading area
New Products
Added new paper/cleaning products
Other Changes
Added backend support for timed events (double xp weekend, etc)
To kick this off, double xp will be enabled for the next week!
Added transaction history to the bank app
