You’d think that furniture mere objects, silent and soulless would obey without question. But alas, even inanimate things dare to defy me. The Tiki décor in particular... such insufferable cheer. It has been dealt with. Swiftly. And cruelly.

The industrial pieces? Rebellious as ever. But fear not they now fall in line like good little slabs of misery.

• The Tiki beer pump now functions properly. Yes, fruity death is back on the menu. 🍹

• The central section of the Tiki bar no longer misbehaves. The jungle has been trimmed.

• The industrial bar corner has received a stern correction and now works as intended. No more aesthetic sabotage in your rust-and-rage themed blood dens. 🛠️

Do you smell that? A fresh waft of bug rot, seared and banished from my precious blood-soaked empire. I commanded a swift purge, and my minions terrified and caffeinated have delivered. Here lies your latest hotfix, straight from the crypt.

• Foolish mortals were duplicating locked furniture like they were breeding rats in the walls—no more! Their tricks are now as dead as their ambitions.

• The automatic buy feature will no longer attempt to shop at the closed blood mart. Even algorithms need a sense of business hours.

• Missions that demanded abstinence from the store (how quaint) were previously throwing tantrums. They now work properly. Chastity rewarded, apparently.

• Automatic buy and sell settings are now properly saved. You’re welcome, forgetful ones.

• Minions no longer beg for a $0 bonus. What are we, a charity? Back to the pits with them.

• The 9th and 10th stages of "Expanded Workforce" now function correctly. No more hiring phantom employees from beyond the grave... unless you're into that. 👻

  Your ever-demanding undead overlord

• The sidewalks of Rusty Street shall no longer conceal construction grids like some nosy corpse swept under the rug. Build freely, my fledglings.
  
• Minions now have better manners. They will no longer squat on cells already in use by poor humans being processed. One at a time, beasts.

• A new construction selection indicator now reveals the size of your future room... or prison. How quaint. You may now better plan your little blood prisons.

• Font size increased! Even the most ancient vampire shouldn’t squint to read tooltips.
  
• Tooltip positions have been reconsidered for improved readability. You’re welcome, fledglings with broken necks and tiny monitors.

• Bitbox Prestige button is now properly sized with no more engorged UI elements. It has been... trimmed.
  
• Credits menu shall now display as it should. Apparently, some mortals want to know who is behind their torment. How adorable.

• Tooltips of clarity: You shall now see a message when a drink can’t be added to the basket.

• Camera speed is now zoom-proportional. The further your undead gaze, the swifter you may soar
  
• Max zoom increased in the latest maps. You demanded vision. I granted it. Don't blame me if you spot horrors you weren't ready for.

• It appears that some of you fragile mortals... ahem customers... were struggling to find your place in the world… specifically, in rooms that didn’t match their impeccable human taste. How quaint. Fortunately for them (and for our blood profits), humans will now prefer rooms and tables that match their style. Yes, even cattle have preferences.
  
• And because no two vampires stalk alike, we have finally offered a Left-Handed Mode. You may now invert mouse controls in the Playability menu: your sinister paws shall be properly honored!

• Elders no longer spawn their feedback bubbles every 5 seconds. Blessed silence at last.

• Invert Mouse Control in Playability menu (Works across UI, furniture placement/rotation, construction, selection, assignation menu... basically everything)
  
• Prestige tutorial mission now includes a glorious visual animation (because you children need sparkles to stay focused).
  
• Human customers now prefer rooms matching their theme when searching for a table.
  
• Human customers also prefer tables matching their style. Finally, the décor snobs are satisfied.
