E-Shop Tycoon changes
First and foremost, we want to extend a massive thank you to every single one of you who has supported us. Your feedback, reviews, and the incredible e-commerce empires you’ve been building have blown us away. E-Shop Tycoon is growing faster than we ever imagined, and it's all thanks to this amazing community ❤️
Today, we want to give you a detailed look into the future. We’ve been reading your suggestions on the Steam forums and our Discord, and we have drafted a huge list of new features and mechanics that we plan to bring to the game.
A Quick Disclaimer: Game development takes time, and we want to ensure every new feature is polished before it reaches your hands. Therefore, these updates will arrive gradually over time. We don't have exact release dates for them just yet, but we are actively working on them!
Here is what you can expect in the upcoming updates:
🏢 Deepening the Business Simulation
- New Accounting DepartmentTired of doing the math? You will soon be able to establish a dedicated Accounting Department! This new office branch will automate your tax payments, optimize your expenses, and ultimately increase your net profit from sales through clever financial management.
Custom Factories & Production: It is time to take control of the entire supply chain. We are introducing the ability to build and manage your very own factories. Instead of just reselling, you will be able to manufacture custom, exclusive products to dominate the market with massive profit margins!
- Realistic & Dynamic Bank LoansThe banking system is getting a major overhaul. As your company’s valuation and reputation grow, the loan amounts available to you will increase dynamically over time, offering a much more realistic corporate financial experience.
New Business Contracts: We are adding a wider variety of lucrative contracts and deals to keep your daily operations fresh and highly rewarding.
🧑💼 Expanded HR & Warehouse Operations
Advanced Employee Mechanics: Your staff will no longer just be numbers on a screen. We are introducing unique worker traits and skills. Employees will gain experience, demand better salaries, ask for raises, and require a much deeper level of HR management to keep morale and efficiency high.
- More Warehouse ContentYour logistics hub is getting bigger. Expect new equipment, better layout options, and more tools to handle massive spikes in your order volume.
🎮 Tailoring Your Experience
Custom Difficulty Settings: We know our player base is diverse! We are adding multiple difficulty modes. Whether you want a relaxed, stress-free tycoon experience to chill out, or a brutal challenge (yes, including a punishing "Iron Man" mode for the ultimate veterans), you will be able to play the game exactly how you want.
Seasonal Leaderboards: To keep the competition fierce and fair, we are planning an upcoming leaderboard reset. Moving forward, we intend to transition to a seasonal structure, resetting the leaderboards at regular intervals so everyone gets a fresh chance to become the #1 e-commerce giant!
Sandbox Mode: Infinite money, all items unlocked, no limits. The upcoming Sandbox Mode will let your creativity run wild without the pressure of bankruptcy.
Impactful Story Events: We are injecting more narrative elements and random market events into the campaign. Your choices during these story moments will have direct, tangible impacts on the economy and your gameplay.
🎁 Supporter Pack DLC is Now Live!
For those who wish to support our development journey even further, we have just released a Supporter Pack DLC! Please note that this add-on is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay or offer any competitive advantages. Currently, it includes a small selection of exclusive new characters for your game. If you'd like to show some extra love to the development of E-Shop Tycoon, you can check it out on our store page!
