All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi,

We’ve gathered your amazing feedback and have been hard at work addressing most of it. Thank you for your participation and your help! ːsteamthumbsupː

This Friday will be the last day of our first playtest session.

The updates made following player feedback:

- Clients now have multiple clothing designs, hairstyles, glasses, hats, beards, and more.

- Clients will less frequently keep their mouths wide open and will return to a neutral expression more quickly.

- Client eyes and lips change more often.

- The game now pauses when the menu is displayed.

- A trash can has been added under the Slush machine.

- Added missing mapping context (key displays) at Checkout.

- Changed the price of Old movies: now $3 instead of $4. Regular one stays at $4.

- Decorations, machines, shelves and movie count now affect how many clients visit the store and how often.

- Greatly reduced the chance of clients walking in front of someone already at checkout.

- Greatly reduced the chance of clients walking behind your counter.

- More text variations and grammar fixes.

- Improvements to the Slush machine.

- Adjustment for audio volume

- Multiple fixes to the tutorial.

Coming up next

- A shady VHS dealer who runs a blackmarket stand in a backalley next to the store.

- Continued work on weather, events, and seasons.

- And, as your most requested feature: Employees!

When is the update coming?

We’re working on the official demo for the game. While we don’t have a set release date yet, our goal is to have it ready before the Holidays. The demo will include everything from the playtest + a special Fall Event, the Back Alley, and the Dealer. If time allows, we’ll also add the late-game systems.
