Hello, Box Hunters!
We’ve been carefully going through your feedback from the playtests and we’re already using it to improve Mystery Box Simulator.
Many of the improvements we’re sharing today were directly inspired by your feedback, while others are features we were already working on. Either way, your comments and suggestions have been helpful in showing us where the game can be clearer, smoother and more enjoyable.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to play and share your thoughts with us!
Here’s a quick look at some of the changes we’ve been working on:
📦 More Precise Packing
We’ve added item transparency to make packing more precise and easier to manage.
When you’re holding an item, it becomes slightly transparent, allowing you to see the 3D grid underneath it. This makes it easier to position items accurately and find the best possible arrangement inside the box.
The goal is simple: give you better visibility when packing and make it easier to use the available space efficiently.
📋 Improved Order Tracking
We’ve also made it easier to keep track of your active orders while packing.
When you complete one of the requirements of an order, the Orders UI will update automatically. For example, if an order requires two toys and you place both of them in the package, you’ll immediately be able to see that requirement being fulfilled.
Orders include both mandatory and optional requirements. Mandatory requirements, such as reaching the minimum order value or sealing the package, need to be completed before you can hand in the order.
Optional requirements can also affect your final rating, with different requirements having different weights. These can include things like adding two items from a specific category, including an autographed item, and more.
Your rating can also be affected by the condition of the items, duplicate items, how efficiently you use the available space and other factors.
We’ve added more detailed information to the Orders app, so you can clearly see what will influence your final rating before submitting an order.
🏪 Open Your Own Stall
We’ve also added a new way to sell individual items.
After reaching the required level and collecting enough money, you’ll be able to purchase a stall through the Upgrade app.
You can place individual items on the stall, set their prices and open it for customers.
The price is entirely up to you, but customers won’t buy an item if you set the price too high. Finding the right price will be an important part of making the most of your stall.
🧑💼 Meet the NPC Sellers
Once you purchase and open your stall, NPCs can also start approaching you with items to sell.
When an NPC arrives, you’ll be able to inspect their item and decide whether you want to buy it for the proposed price.
Some of these items can be rare or particularly valuable. For example, you may come across an item with an autograph, which can increase its value once the autograph has been identified.
You never know what might turn up - so it’s worth keeping an eye on the people visiting your stall.
What’s Next?
These are just some of the improvements we’ve been working on and we’re continuing to use your feedback to shape Mystery Box Simulator.
Thank you again to everyone who participated in the playtests and shared their thoughts with us.
There are still plenty of things to discover and we’ll have more to share with you soon.
See you soon,
