    Please don't put all the items with the same quantity like you make in TTV. The best part of the original is that every item have a different amount of stock and different times for restock. This make the game more strategic!

    I'm in for the beta test! Used to play from the release until I left it a while ago because of time issues. Great game!

    We did move to a base stocking time as in Vegas for the following design reasons:

    1) Giving all floors the same starting stock levels allows the player to unlock them in any order GREATLY increases floor variety especially early in the game. If you remember the first food floor you could build was always a sushi joint, diner, coffee shop, or Mexican food since they were the only low stock food floors. Well now a starting player has the chance to build any of the food floors right off the bat, including the floors that used to be high stock and that the average player would never have even unlocked in the past. With the new unified base stock times players towers will look truly unique especially early game and friends will completely different towers.

    2) Floors of the same level stock together. You can still upgrade floors to have different levels and therefore different stock times but the floors that are the same level will run out of stick together when they are stocked together. This ends up being a huge convenience for players that are in and out of the game only a few times a day, meaning when a notification that one floor is out of stock brings you back to the game there are a higher number of other floors you can also restock at the same time instead of having to wait another 3, 7, 11 mins etc.

    3) It puts even more importance in placing dream jobbers which as you know doubles the stock for a tier. With the new floor star displays and the ability to trade bitizens with friends, this becomes one of the most fun parts of the game (especially when you dress them up and give them a funny name before sending them).

    Existing floors without any upgrades are converted to level 3 which we found to be a comfortable stock amount and players can choose which floors to upgrade further from there. Hint: upgrade the floors with dream jobbers first!

    There will be our NimbleBit cloud system that Vegas used which will allow cross platform syncing/backups and the ability to add non Game Center friends through friend codes. Game Center friends will automatically be in your friends list.

    In the original every floor was unique, and you need to know every floor to be eficient, with the new system it's more mechanic, all the floors at the same time and make the game more clicker than simulation.

    Personally I like the sound of the stocking change log as with me just having started again I only have 32 floors and so far many are familiar from what I had last time I played.

    Is there a change log anywhere for all of the changes?
