Hello, Store Managers!
First of all — a massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who played our demo! We’ve been reading every single comment, watching your streams, and taking notes on how to make this the ultimate retail experience. Today, we’re dropping our very first official devlog to show you exactly how your feedback is changing the game.
Watch the full video below to see the new features in action, or read on for the quick highlights!
🚜 Your New Favorite Four Wheels
First up: The Forklift. This has been the most requested feature by far, and we are so excited to finally bring it to life! From now on, unloading delivery trucks and managing your overstock is a fully interactive, incredibly satisfying gameplay mechanic. It’s time to unleash your inner logistics manager!
🕵️♂️ Stop right there, criminal scum!
A bigger store brings bigger challenges. Our next major addition is the Shoplifting Event. You'll need to stay on your guard because some clients might try to walk out without paying! Luckily, you won't have to handle this alone—you'll have the option to hire a dedicated Security Guard who will stop the thieves and retrieve your stolen goods.
🧹 Shop Maintenance 2.0 & New Tools
Shop maintenance just got a massive upgrade! Customers now dynamically drop rubbish inside and outside the store. Smaller indoor bins will overflow, so you'll have to empty them into the large outdoor dumpster.
To make swapping your gear seamless, we’ve added a slick new circular UI tool selector. Let's look at your new arsenal:
Sponge & Cleaning Spray: Use this combo to scrub away dirt around the shop.
Hammer: Use it to quickly repair any damages and broken items.
Paint Roller: For changing colors and customizing your space.
Smartphone: Your new management center (more on this in future devlogs!).
What do you think?
We are working hard to make Construction Store Simulator the best it can be, and we can't do it without you. Watch the devlog, let us know your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to Join the Steam Playtests if you want to try these features early!
Keep building,
The Construction Store Simulator Team
