Daily Update - Feb 24th, 2025

Back at it! Today, I filled out the common slot for workbench decorations, which was pretty fun. I also took a little time to update the UI of decoration cards in the reward scene, since they were a bit out of date with how cards are displayed elsewhere in the game. I also took a bit of time to start thinking of how I want to re-work how customers are chosen each day, and I'm starting to slightly crystallize a few ideas in my mind, so look forward to an update on that maybe in a couple weeks (or sooner). For now, I'm still focused on filling out the remaining workbench decorations, and then finally just the sales desk decorations before I feel like we can do some solid playtesting as a relatively complete system. Here's the day's changelog!
