I've been receiving a lot of feedback from players and I am really glad. Thank you all! This is the way that we are going to make a great game. :)
About that, some players complained about the game having a slow start, so I improved the base stats for various buildings.
Also, some players talked about the infection system.
I redid the whole system and now infected customers pay more for the cure according to the disease strength.
Until now, the disease strength defined whatever customers came or not to the store.
There are more things I am aware of and that I am going to work over the next updates. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Long story short, here is what changed...
