Devblog 17 - Shop content progress!

Hi everybody! Really great progress this month. We are back on shop content, because we got so far with fishing/biomes, the shop part of the game was falling behind - Beta players were running out of space for their fish collections and shelves, so it was a good sign to switch after the swamps biome was finished!

• I did a community vote on the discord, and it seems like overwhelmingly people were really wanting more upgrades of current mechanics, store expansions and employee systems. There was also a decent amount of votes on making decorating do something for the game.

• Already got the biggest task done - The second floor to the shop. This was tricky because the original shop was not meant for a floor, but I got it figured out!

• Huge relief that we got the employee NPC working! NPC coding is really difficult for me, so it's really nice to see it working and relatively bug-free. I hope this will be a exciting mechanic to unlock

• There's still some other goals that I need to tackle for Alpha 7, but overall things are moving really quickly. Once we finish this, we can pivot to town content next.

New Freezers - Level 2 & 3

Decoration & Tipping Mechanic

Fishable relic furniture sets you can only find pulling these out of the water

• These will be findable only by fishing, or in the future maybe also diggable (Maybe mounds of dirt you dig out)

• As you get into later biomes, we'll make the furniture look nicer or different. These ones are currently for the start area, so they look really dank/crusty

• This will go really well with the new decoration system. Most furniture should be found/collected instead of being bought

• If you don't like the furniture (Or find nicer things later) I'll make it sellable in your shop
