Hello Market Tycoon Fans,
Finally, we bring to you Steam Workshop for Market Tycoon.
This might be considered as the biggest update to Market Tycoon yet.
First of all, we added one new gameplay feature and that is global auto restock. You can now select what items to auto restock from the quick Stats & price change page instead of having to select what items to auto restock per location.
As a small team, creating and adding items would take a lot of time from us that we would love otherwise to spend in adding more gameplay features. And since the game revolves around creating your own supermarket, offering more items is the meat of the game. Unfortunately, when developing Market Tycoon there were no plans to add any kind of support for any user-generated content. But since Market Tycoon has grown and became more popular than ever imagined and since the release of the game, we received many requests to support Steam Workshop to allow the community to add more items to Market Tycoon. And so, we decided to almost rewrite the core code of the game to allow user-generated content to work with Market Tycoon. So here we are today, with the introduction of Steam Workshop for Market Tycoon the possibilities are endless. At the time of this writing, we've had the workshop up for a week for a small group of people to test things out and there are already over 60 ready to use new items to chose from. And now with the Workshop going out to the public, we look forward to what you guys can bring to Market Tycoon.
And this is just the beginning. For now, you can only add items but we will be working to allow you to add more than that. Very soon you will have the option to create objects like shelves, fridges, freezers, and decorations as well as floor and wall paint and even a whole Market. More information on that when the time comes, so make sure to join our discord server for more updates.
If you are interested in creating Items for Market Tycoon, make sure to first read Market Tycoon Item Tool Guide. We made it extremely easy to use the tool, all you need is a 3D model in .obj or .fbx format and any textures.
Make sure to join our discord server for faster support when using the tool and to keep up to date with the development of Market Tycoon.
Please note that markets created prior to version 1.5.0 are not compatible anymore.
Enjoy!
