Happy Halloween!
We've just pushed a massive new update to Steam for you all to enjoy. Some of the major changes and additions you'll find in the update include:
"Random Events" which we hope will add to the dynamism of owning an arcade, these events are both good and bad to both help and hinder you.
"Arcade Cost Rebalance" we felt it was time that we properly balanced the cost of machines in relation to its reliability and power consumption.
"11 New Shops" As its also Halloween some of these stalls are very thematic. We've also overhauled food and drink to now give you more control of the pricing of each stall.
