Update 0.1.2 - Management Foundations #2
Hello everyone!
The second piece to the Management Foundations puzzle is here!
This update builds upon the previous one.
I didn't mention it in the last update, but you may've noticed that the Shop Dashboard UI already had 2 tabs - the Dashboard itself, and a placeholder Staff tab mentioning that cashiers are coming in update 0.1.2.
[h3]And they are![/h3]
[h2]Hire Cashiers[/h2]
The biggest new addition to the game are cashiers that you can now hire (and fire).
Once the economy is added into the game (we're getting closer), more stats and attributes will be added to cashiers as well.
A lot of invisible work has been done in the background.
Objects (currently cashier tables) can now have multiple "Activity Slots", that in the future will be used for stuff like people sitting on benches, waiting in queues, or customers interacting with products.
[h2]Significant Drag Build Performance Optimizations[/h2]
A lot of reports mentioned poor drag build performance, where things would start to lag a lot once you wanted to build a larger area.
This issue was present for everyone, regardless of computer performance (myself included).
The exact numbers will vary for everyone, but on my PC, I was able to achieve a 16x decrease when making adjustments to the build area of roughly 50x50 (1 seconds -> 0.06 seconds)
[h2]Camera Rotation Keybinds[/h2]
Besides Middle Mouse Button, it is now also possible to rotate the camera with QEYX buttons (QE for side to side, YX for up and down). These controls can become useful when playing with touchpad.
[h2]Additions & Improvements[/h2]
[h2]Small Changes[/h2]
[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
Until next update, Thank You for your support, and take care!
