Daily Update 3

Hi everyone! Today's update is live. You can now sit down and relax at home, switch on the lamp and watch TV. In co-op, you and a friend can ride in the same vehicle, and you can choose the traffic density yourself. We also fixed a number of the bugs you reported.

New

- Spend time at home: sit on chairs and armchairs, turn the floor lamp on and off, and change channels on the TV. When the lamp is on, its shade glows with a warm light. In co-op, everyone sees the same thing. Two players can sit side by side on the wide sofa, right in the middle of the cushions, and if the sofa is full you'll see a "Taken" notice.
- Two in one vehicle in co-op: one player can now take the driver's seat while the other gets in the passenger seat.
- Traffic density setting: choose Low, Normal or High in Settings. City traffic is a bit lighter overall, and even calmer at night.

Improvements

- Pending orders for a product you've taken off sale are now cancelled with no penalty.
- Nights are a little darker: the moon, skylight and night sky colors have been retuned.
- The game window is now called "Biztopia". Streaming apps like OBS no longer show the game under its old name.
- On computers with little memory, the game now shows a warning at startup instead of crashing.

Bug fixes

- Fixed the packing station getting stuck in front of a pallet it couldn't reach.
- Climbing out of the park pond after falling in is easier now.
- Fixed pedestrians crowding up, getting stuck and jittering on the lake park's stone-railed sidewalk, next to the lamp post and the planter.
- A trash bag you're carrying no longer disappears after saving and loading.
- Fixed a case where closing the update notes could replace your save list with an older copy.
- Fixed the greeting bubble staying on screen after you leave a shop or when a customer falls over.

Interface and languages

- The wholesaler cart now fits on screen in every language.
- Character names now stay the same in every language and no longer change during play.
- House rent at the real estate agent is now shown in the currency of the language you picked.
- The options that pop up while placing the item in your hands now fit on the card in all 27 languages.
- Stock history and order rows are no longer cut off.
- In the buyback row, the price percentage no longer breaks onto a new line in 8 languages.
- The notification card on the tablet is now centered and no longer overlaps the bottom hint and the tabs.
- In character creation, the rotate hint no longer sits on top of the feet. The "Narrow aisle" text no longer covers the shelf in the shelf preview, and a shelf you're holding no longer covers the hotbar.

Visual fixes

- Ceiling lights at all the remaining wholesalers now give off warm light at night.
- The wall lamp at the bank now lights up properly.
- Fixed the stretched print on the front of the chips bag.
- The bumpers on the toy wholesaler's loading ramp are no longer plain black boxes.

Sound

- Interface and interaction sounds piling up in busy moments are now limited, so the sound mix is cleaner.
Note: There's a small hitch in the vehicle camera. We'll be looking into it in tomorrow's update.
Thanks for your feedback! If you spot a bug, keep telling us on Discord or in the Steam discussions.
