First things first: a huge THANK YOU to all our early adopters, especially if you submitted feedback, suggestions and bug reports, your support and help have been invaluable and we couldn't have made it without you!
Another big shootout to the modders: Head over to the workshop to enjoy their gigantic malls, fun new products, restaurant skins and more!
It's easy to forget which features were added during early access if you've been here from the start, and also easy to assume it's been that way forever if you're a new player. But it's been a long road and many staple features didn't exist at launch: objects rotation (veterans out there remember!) , offices, shoplifting or the shift planning tool, just to name a few!
Here is a timeline with some of the major features and content added during early access; a lot of them were due to your feedback and suggestions:
Now, what about Another Brick in The Mall's future? Well, we're not done yet!
Although our focus will shift towards a new project from now on, this won't be the last update to Another Brick in The Mall, so your suggestions, big and small, are still much appreciated.
Post 1.0 updates will focus on expanding modding capabilities and removing limitations in an effort to help keep the game fresh long after we're done, with new content from the community.
Official new content is not out of the question but less likely.
Although we fixed thousands of them with your help, some obscure bugs might still persist so your reports are still much needed, and your quality of life suggestions still much appreciated.
If you have bugs to report, please post in the appropriate Discussions for optimal support: http://steamcommunity.com/app/521150/discussions/1/
