Hey everyone!
Update 1.1 is now live! This update brings a huge expansion to the Steam Workshop capabilities, new legendary books, new bookcases, and more!
The workshop tool has been updated to allow the community to create new types of items! This expands the existing framework and now allows the following items to be created and uploaded:
Manga
Board Games
Magazines
Candy (3 different types)
Bookmarks
Comics
The tool has also been updated to automatically tag items with their respective item types and genres where applicable to help users filter to what they're interested in. Unfortunately, existing workshop items will not be automatically updated unless updated through the tool so old items will not have their tags applied until updated.
For those who have not checked out the workshop yet, you can check it out over here:

You guys have put up over 1300 workshop items so far! We can't wait to see what you guys put up now that more item types are available!
A new used book box is now available in The Cotswolds location, bringing several new legendary books with it. We've also shifted a couple of existing legendaries to The Cotswolds used book box as well.
Four new variants of the standard bookshelf have arrived! This should provide some additional customization options for your stores.
These variants have also been applied to the corner bookshelf as well so you are free to create nooks with these new variants.
In addition to the regular bookshelf variants, we've also brought the much requested corner variation for the genre specific bookcases!
For those struggling with not having enough book licenses for all of those workshop books you've downloaded, you may be able to find an NPC to provide you with a solution: The Shady Dealer. He is located in the Paris location near your shop once you reach level 50. Each day he appears, he may offer up to 3 additional book licenses for an increasing price.
A new game mode is now available: Challenge mode! This is a game mode for those that want a bit more of a challenge. Challenge mode will reduce the amount of the same items customers pick up, the overall number of customers each day, and decrease customers' tolerance for high markup prices. New games will prompt which mode you would like to start on. Existing games can choose their game mode in the settings menu.
The multiplayer avatar creator has been updated to allow far more customization of your characters.
