Little Fixes & Big Questions

Just one week since the Lights Out, Cameras On update dropped, I’ve already released two small patches to polish things up and fix a few bumps. But before diving into what’s changed, there’s something I want to talk about:

🙋‍♂️ Why So Few Raffle Entries?

Not many players have opted into the Game Pass Raffle—which is honestly surprising. It’s a totally free chance to win a 3-month Ultimate Pass (or extend your current one).

The whole point of the raffle was to give players who can’t support the game with a subscription another way to pitch in—like inviting friends, spreading the word, or just showing up and playing daily.

So... why aren’t more of you entering? I’ve made the raffle more visible (see below), but maybe it’s still too hidden? Or maybe something’s unclear?

If you haven’t opted in either, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know why (send an email from the game, Main Menu » Contact). A few words would help me figure out what’s not working and how to make it better. Thanks in advance! 🥰

🔧 What’s New in the Minor Updates

Here’s what’s been improved since the last major release:

• Added a Game Pass Raffle summary to the Main Menu, so it’s easier to find and enter.
• Moved the unused votes reminder to the Main Menu to keep it front and center.
• Added a loading animation to the Networks screen for smoother transitions.
• Fixed the calculation of average budget and minimum score for show renewals and planned endings.
• Fixed a bug where active subscriptions weren’t recognized properly after casting votes in Feature Voting.

If you haven’t updated yet—grab the latest version to get all the tweaks and fixes! 👌
