Week 2 Patch Notes - New languages and store administration!

After 2 weeks of Early Access the development continues at a steady pace. Thanks again for all the support and feedback you gave! Feel free to jump into the official Discord at https://discord.com/invite/JZsQrn9HJK

I'll probably start making some polls to find out what the community wants me to implement next, since this game is made by a one person and, you (the community) are the only ones who can give feedback 😁!

As for the new languages, if you found a bug in the translations and want to contribute, feel free to talk to me. I'll give you access to the translation sheets ❤️

What's coming up next week?

• Staff - It's time for some helping hands in the supermarket. I know most players play with a friend, but I have to admit that the store gets crazy after a few days and to keep expanding it's almost an impossible mission.

New Features

New Products

Here are some new products that will be unlocked early in the game.

New Furniture Category - Electricity Steam post image

• There's a new category under the Furniture app on the tablet. This new category will give access to lighting objects. Currently this is limited to four types of lights, but new furniture will be added in the future.

• When the player starts a new save, the default is two lights. Players with older saves will need to place lights! These two default lights on the ceiling can now be sold or moved 😁.

Store Administration

• Now the player is able to control when the supermarket is open or closed through the 'Administration App' or by interacting with the strange object on the wall inside the store. 🤔

• Now you can move any item while the store is closed. This will help players because now they don't have to buy multiple shelves or racks to move products to those new shelves and racks. Just close the store when you want, move the object, open the store again!

• Players who run a 24-hour shop will find that customer traffic is lower at night than during the day (just like in real life).

Administration App

• New 'Administration App' on the tablet will be unlocked at the end of the first day (tutorial).

• The app provides settings to manage the store schedule, such as opening or closing the store at any time. If the store is closed while customers are inside, it will switch to "Closing Soon" state and refuse new customers. After all customers inside have left, the store automatically switches to Closed.

• In this app you will also find the running costs of the supermarket. This will provide the current rent and electricity costs. as well as future costs and expansion (future release).

Reputation

Previously, the reputation was given when the store closed every 17 hours. Since the player can now open/close the shop whenever they want, reputation is now given when customers leave the shop. Reputation is increased/decreased based on the player's happiness and also the amount of products they bought compared to the products they wanted.

Languages

New languages have been added (may contain errors):

• Chinese Simplified (zh)

• French (fr)

• German (de)

• Italian (it)

• Japanese (ja)

• Russian (ru)

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue with the sky that was causing players to get disconnected when they reloaded the game.

Improvements

• The interface of moving objects has been updated.

• The tutorial tasks have been updated to better reflect the new administration features.
