This update introduces a complete overhaul of the user interface, a redesigned main menu and lobby, and furniture positioning fixes for the Outdoor and Sports stores.

- A new main menu with a live background in front of the mall

- A redesigned stage lobby with a live, mall-themed background

- A full user interface overhaul across the game

- Main Menu : The main menu now features a live background. When the game launches, players are placed in front of the mall, where shoppers enter and leave beneath the Mall Rivals sign, rest on the benches and walk past the storefronts.

- Lobby : The lobby has been redesigned as a stage inside the mall, with a live background that reflects the mall's own theme. Each player appears on stage with their name tag and ready status, and a counter shows how many players are ready. Players can customize their character, adjust the match setup and open the chat without leaving the lobby, and can look around using WASD or by dragging.

- Interface : The user interface has been overhauled throughout the game for a cleaner and more readable experience.

- Outdoor Store : Fixed furniture positioning in the Outdoor store. All furniture is now placed correctly.

- Sports Store : Fixed furniture positioning in the Sports store. All furniture is now placed correctly.

The mall just got a little bigger. This patch adds a brand new store type and fixes more of what you reported, from the bugs everyone hit to the rare ones only a handful of you managed to find.

• Outdoor Store has joined the mall. It's a whole new store type for you to buy, stock and fight over, packed with camping gear, skis and canoes.

• Stores : You no longer have to close your store to buy it, so your employees stay at work. They were never happy about the surprise day off anyway.

• Teammates : You can now revive a teammate who is knocked down. Loyalty finally has a button.

• General : We also fixed a long list of general bugs and some rare cases most of you will never see. If you did see one, thank you for reporting it, those are the hardest ones to find.

• Employees : Firing an employee no longer freezes you in place with a kick. You can keep moving. Firing someone is awkward enough already.

We're not done, not even close. We're still designing new content and new mechanics, and a few big surprise updates are coming soon. We can't say more yet, but trust us, you'll want to be in the mall for them.

Keep the reports and clips coming in the discussions or on Discord. They're what these patches are built from.
