Optical Shop Simulator · published
Hey everyone!
We’ve analyzed all your feedback since launch and finally released our first major hotfix. We’ve resolved critical game-breaking bugs and made the gameplay much smoother.
Here is what has been done in this patch:
🛠️ CRITICAL BUGS
Glass & Frame Assembly: Compatible parts now display and can be selected properly on the assembly table.
Lost Parts: Purchased glass/frames no longer randomly disappear during assembly.
Assembly Crash: Fixed the game-freezing issue during the final assembly step; added a control save system.
Day 1 Bug: The assembly table now works properly, meaning you can successfully complete the first day and unlock the day cycle.
🎥 CAMERA & MOVEMENT
Out of Bounds Teleport: Fixed pixelation and teleporting out of bounds caused by camera angles.
(Under Investigation) Wall clipping/passing through walls is still being researched. If you notice anything specific that triggers this (e.g., does it happen when sitting on the sofa at home?), please let us know!
👥 CUSTOMERS
Customer Flow: Balanced the initial overcrowding. Flow is optimized to keep around 2-3 customers at a time.
Stuck Customers: Added an auto-recovery system for customers walking into walls (they will now automatically recalculate their path).
⚙️ SETTINGS & AUDIO
Save Issue: Fixed volume, brightness, and mouse sensitivity settings resetting between scenes (Steam Cloud compatible).
Pause Menu: Added a comprehensive settings panel to the pause menu (FPS, v-sync, brightness, resolution, etc.).
Audio Controls: Added an independent music volume slider. Ambient sounds are now routed to the SFX channel.
🌍 ECONOMY & LOCALIZATION
Starting Budget: Raised the starting budget from 2500 to 4005 to give you some breathing room.
Localization Tweaks: Cleaned up over 70 incorrect/machine translations in German and Turkish. Product names in prescriptions are no longer left in English.
📖 TUTORIAL & UX
New Cards: Added "How to Use" guide cards that trigger on first-time use of the Lensmeter, Lens Cutter, and Assembly table.
Guides: You will now see helpful tooltips if you try to click a machine while your hands are full or if you place an item on the wrong shelf.
⚠️ Bug Reports: If you still encounter any bugs, please write them as a comment under this post. We are reading and analyzing every single one!
🚀 Next Week (July 22nd):
Another update cleaning up remaining minor bugs and adding brand new features will be live next week on July 22nd!
