Hand Scanner, New Settings & Bug Fixes

Megastore Simulator: Prologue · published 19 Jan 2026, 23:57 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone,

I’ve just pushed a new update, and as always, it’s shaped directly by your feedback.

First, I added the Hand Scanner, which many of you requested to make ordering faster and more convenient.

I also introduced a new Action Bar at the bottom of the screen.
For now, it holds the Megaphone and the Hand Scanner, but I plan to expand it in the future with tools like a paint roller, a generic box, and other small tools that may be needed as development continues.

There were also quite a few requests for more settings options, so I’ve added the following:

  • Brightness
  • Field of View (FOV)
  • Invert Y Axis
  • Key Binding options

In addition, I fixed several bugs, including tutorial-related issues and other general gameplay bugs.

Thank you all for the continued support and for taking the time to share your feedback. With the full release getting closer, your input is incredibly valuable.

And finally, thank you for the strong interest and support for the Prologue; it genuinely means a lot to me as a solo developer.

More updates coming soon.
