Update 0.3.0 - Produce Department Reworked

This update focuses on a major rework of the Produce Department, which is part of the Grocery Department.

The goal of this update was to bring produce shelves more in line with the scale, quality, and visual style of the Megastore. The old vegetable shelves had been standing out to me for a while, so I wanted to revisit this part of the game and make a more comprehensive upgrade to improve the overall quality of the store.

The new produce shelves are much more suitable for the Megastore environment. They are visually more polished, better matched to the store’s scale, and offer more flexibility when creating realistic produce sections.

The larger produce shelves now include water spray systems to help keep fruits and vegetables fresh, and the upper sections include mirrors, giving the department a more authentic supermarket look.

The newly added corner produce shelves also make it easier to build produce islands and create cleaner, more natural fruit and vegetable layouts around corners.

Normally, the next update was going to focus on a completely new department, but I also enjoy going back and improving older parts of the game when I feel they no longer match the quality level I want. This was one of those updates.

The next update will be a brand-new department.

I also have plans for the regular grocery shelves in the near future, and I want to improve those as soon as I get the time.

Thank you all again for your support.
