[h3]A WORD FROM THE DEV
[/h3]
Thank you to everyone who bought SOUL PARK this week!

This launching week has been very fulfilling for me as I've been able to hear some feedback from you and as promised on SOUL PARK's instagram page @soul_park_cledu, I'm back with a little update to address some of the issues you guys discovered! Hope you all enjoy building your beautiful parks while I work on a bigger update 😏

CLEDU.

[h3]QoL IMPROVEMENTS
[/h3]
- added more contrast to the dancefloor minigame for accessibility
- you can now use keys to move around the park in bird view
- double clicking to load a save now works even when another save is open
- a progress bar is now shown for achievements with numerical values
- added a button to show/hide rides cycles
- added keybinding for tools and the new hide/show cycles button

[h3]BALANCE CHANGES
[/h3]

- reduced the spawn rate for tears of corruption
- lowered the experience given when cleaning a trash pile from 5 to 3 XP
- increased security camera view range

[h3]BUGFIXES
[/h3]

[h3]BUGFIXES[/h3]

* fixed not being able to move roller coaster on its previous instance's rails

God is NOT happy with you! He put a curse on you and Satanas and now you're both doomed to rebuild your park over and over again! This is no easy task, as you will have to earn every piece of the new and improved progress tree all by yourself! Will you succeed and thrive nonetheless?



[h3]NEW - LEGACY GAME MODE[/h3]
Legacy is a time limited game mode: you have 13 in-game days (= 13 minutes) to build a park. On the 14th day, the park is destroyed and you have to start over, keeping only your player level, unlocked products, and completed achievements. This is to encourage players to try different approaches and better manage their park.
In a future update, additional rewards and statistics will be given at the end of a cycle.
