The mini games are optional since you can also complete contracts to earn tickets, you get new contracts each day (in-game time). Obviously, if you play the mini games you will progress a lot faster.
...What are you even talking about? The contracts tab is completely blank. I figured it was not implemented yet.
I think either something is very buggy or you need a much more in depth tutorial, because I cannot figure out how to do anything at all. It also doesn't help at all that the image on this page shows a different UI than is actually in the game.
I think your contract tab was blank because the first day was not passed yet (I will change it so you have contracts when you start a new save). Yes I agree for a Tutorial at the beginning could be beneficial and the UI is not that different except for 3 names of tabs but it will be changed soon.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
You complete contracts by choosing one and making scenes to progress it, you can set the auto sell button on ON to automatically sell your scene when all the images are made or by clicking on the sell button under the scene that you make (you can check the number of images already made by hovering the scene in the menu, the number is in yellow).
