Gently Packed Demo · published
The corporate headquarters are finally open - and they've got some offers you can't refuse.
This update covers a lot of ground: the workday is longer, your progress now saves, packing has new rules, and you can finally visit the Corp building and buy upgrades.
Longer Workday
The most common feedback we got was that the demo felt too short. We heard you. The workday is now longer, so you'll get to serve more customers before the shift ends.
Your Progress is Now Saved
The demo finally has a full save system. Everything carries over between sessions so you can jump back any time.
Corporate Upgrades
Visit the Corp building on the map to spend your hard-earned tips on upgrades:
Tip Jar - customers notice it. Tips go up.
Paper Bags - once unlocked, some customers will start requesting them specifically.
Card Payment - younger customers tend to prefer it. Older ones... not so much.
Smarter Packing
Items now arrive on the belt in random orientations - just like real life. No more boring items looking the same every time. Now it's time for some chaos.
The stacking rules are also stricter now. Every cell beneath an item needs to be occupied before you can place it there. No gaps, no floating. To stack items you need to build from the bottom up, which changes how you approach oddly shaped items.
Fixes and Polish
Quite a few small fixes based on your feedback: tutorials, settings, UI, graphics. Tutorials can now also be toggled on and off in the settings.
