Snacks & Drinks Vending Machines

After normal shops and kiosks, vending machines are the 3rd distinct shop class in Mall Craze. Some of you may have noticed that there already was a vending machine object in the main construction menu, and you would be right!

But it was really just that - an object without any interaction from customers. The new Snacks and Drinks vending machines are completely different, as they are a fully functioning machines with their own dashboard and products for sale.

The funny thing is, I never realized how off-scale the old vending machine 3D model really was. 😅

New Controls & Audio Settings

I've added these 3 new controls options to the settings menu:

  • Mouse drag camera speed.

  • WASD movement camera speed.

  • Invert mouse drag.

Apart from that, there is also a new Mute Music option in the Audio settings tab. (Thank you for suggesting that in the community forum!)

UI Adjustments

In no particular order:

Shop filter buttons added to the main Shops Construction UI tab.

Shop Construction UI scales based on shop class that's being built. Construction conditions are now hidden for kiosks and vending machines.

Old

New

Entrance construction thumbnail edited - "Shop" text removed. The same thumbnail with the "Shop" text was previously being used for mall entrances as well, which caused unnecessary confusion.

Feel free to list your tips and suggestions in the comments or on the community forum. I have many things on my to-do list, but it's always cool to see your ideas! :)

Thank you everyone for your support, and I will see you in the next update! - Milan, developer
