From a simple concept to HOURS of playtime?(!)

Thrifty Business · published 6 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Our demo has been up for about a month now and OMG! Literally thousands of you tried out the game and gave us feedback about it, thank you so much! And while we intended for the demo playtime to only be around 30 minutes just to give you an idea of what this game will be, some of you have been playing this demo for 5, 10, 50 hours??? At this point we’re worried you’ll be tired of it by the time we get to release! 😅

But it also means whatever we’ve been doing seems to be working! So we’ve prepared another dev log style video in which we talk about all the changes we’ve been making to Thrifty Business in the last few months to take it from a simple idea to a truly fun game!

But of course, we’ll also give a few glimpses at what’s yet to come: event space changes, final shop size, more characters, stories & more! And rest assured, we’re steadily making our way through all of your feedback, and have already made lots of plans of how and when we can start incorporating some of those ideas!

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this video! 🧡 (We hear some of you might be interested in the release month as well, right? 👀)

Some of you might already know that we’ve been a bit busy since the launch of Thrifty Business working on our other small shop simulator. 🐸 But before and after diving into the world of stickers once again, we’ve also still been deeply invested in the thrift store side of it all. And we’re quite giddy to tell you about this free Quality of Life up…Community24 Jun 2026One Month since releasing Thrifty Business! ⭐It’s now been (a bit more than) a month since we released Thrifty Business and some of you might have been wondering what’s been going on behind the scenes in the past few weeks, if we’re planning any updates and how the release went for us! So, we sat down to record a little retrospective video to look at the 9 months we spent developing Thrifty Business, the overall wishlist numbers and sales…
