Fulfillment Center Simulator changes
First off, a massive THANK YOU to everyone for your support so far! Developing this game has been an incredible journey, full of ups, downs, and learning moments. A special shout-out to the "voices in my head" (aka my Discord crew) for keeping me sane... or at least keeping things entertaining while I ran on 1 shared brain cell. If you want to see the madness in action, come hang out on my Twitch channel, where I stream my development process. Great music, good vibes, and lots of chaotic moments guaranteed—so drop by and follow!
Introduction to Fulfillment Center Simulator
If you haven’t heard about Fulfillment Center Simulator yet, let me introduce you to your next tycoon obsession!
Inspired by hits like Supermarket Simulator and TCG Card Shop Simulator, this warehouse management game invites you to build your logistics empire from the ground up. The idea was born during one of Venalis’ streams, where a casual conversation sparked a vision. I was working on another project at the time, but as soon as Venalis pitched this concept, I reached out—and with his blessing, Fulfillment Center Simulator came to life.
Step into the role of a warehouse manager and tackle the challenges of running a fulfillment business. Handle client orders, optimize your inventory, and grow your reputation in a dynamic renown system. Build and maintain relationships with clients, suppliers, shippers, and advertisers to transform your humble operation into a logistics powerhouse.

The Backstory
As a longtime fan of RP (Role Play) games—be it GTA V, Atlas, Conan, or whatever caught my interest—I’ve created and carried unique characters across various worlds.
Meet Rob:
The Origin Story: Rob grew up in Alphabet City before moving to Boston. Later, he returned to Alphabet City, with no place to stay but his Uncle Paxton’s rundown shed. A bottle of rum and free labor secured Rob a roof over his head.
Prologue [Demo]:
When Uncle Paxton had to “take care of business down south,” he left Rob with $10,000, one pallet of salt, and some vague advice: “Don’t burn the place down, and you can keep the profits. I’ll be back in 3 days.”
What’s New Since the Last Update?
We’ve made tons of progress! The map has undergone a massive overhaul (more details below), and I’ve been fine-tuning the backend for better performance and multiplayer functionality. Networking replication has been a steep learning curve, but I’m determined to make this game as smooth as possible!
Welcome to Alphabet City!
The game now takes place in Alphabet City, with Uncle Paxton’s shack situated on the outskirts at the corner of Dark St. and [??] Ave. It’s a prime spot for expanding your Fulfillment Center empire!
The core block will remain consistent, but you can expect plenty of updates as I fine-tune the environment.
What to Expect During the Playtest
The tutorial system is getting a complete overhaul to make onboarding intuitive and engaging. Here’s where I need your help during the playtest:
Goals:
Gameplay Basics
Ensure players understand the game’s core mechanics, from starting their day to shipping orders.
Orders and Supplies
Test the process of managing orders and re-stocking your Fulfillment Center.
Contacts and Finances
Verify renown distribution with clients, shippers, and suppliers.
Make sure you don’t run out of money too quickly!
Looking Ahead
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s on the horizon for Fulfillment Center Simulator:
Warehouse expansions
New shipping windows and vehicles
Character customization
Map expansions
There’s plenty more to come, but I’ll leave it here for now. If you’ve made it this far—thank you! You’re an absolute legend!
