Halloween Update v0.3

Update V0.3 is live!

Hello everyone!

The spooky season is upon us and we figured it'd be a good idea to get into the festivities a little bit! With this update, we're bringing you some festive options to decorate your shops to get into the season a little, some new thematic products, balancing changes, and fixes.

New Decorations:

We've got a couple of things to change up how your store looks if you want to get into the season. In the Customizations tab in the Depot Max app, you can find a pumpkin and a cauldron to dot around your store. These act as handheld items so they can be thrown or placed down.

Also in the Customization tab, we've got several new wallpapers for the holiday season. We've also added more color variations of the Fleur De Lis wallpaper by popular demand.

In the Furniture tab, there's also a bat shaped rug available.

We've also added a specialized Horror themed bookshelf with a couple of color variations that can be purchased at shop level 33.

New Products:

There's nothing to get you in the mood better than curling up and diving in to some good horror books to fit the season. We've got 7 new books available for you, mostly horror themed. We've also added a generic horror themed legendary book to match the other genre based legendaries.

Balancing Changes:

Customers have had an overhaul on how they decide on what products they're interested in. The non-technical result of this is that you should see less available item types have a better chance at being picked up in a normal store setup.

Passive income has also been rebalanced and, in general, you should see increased amounts for your stores.

Moving Legendaries:

It is now possible to take a single legendary book with you when you travel between stores. Simply pick up the legendary you want to bring, open your tablet, travel to your chosen destination, and when you load in, you should be holding the legendary book. Multiple legendaries can be transferred in this way but will require traveling back and forth.

Fixes and Improvements:

As usual, a number of fixes and Quality of Life improvements have also made their way into the build. See below for a full change log!

Decoration contest:

We're going to be running a shop decorating contest over on our Discord for the holiday. If that interests you, feel free to come join in! The winner will get to be the author of a book in the game!

As always, thank you to everyone for playing, chatting, suggesting, and giving feedback! We hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying the spooky season! Happy Halloween!
