🔥 SMOKE SHOP SIMULATOR — MAJOR UPDATE (v0.0.5)

Major Update – Core Gameplay & Systems Overhaul

This update introduces a complete rework of core shop mechanics, customer interactions, and progression systems. Our goal was to make the shop feel more dynamic, strategic, and rewarding to manage over time.

Key Changes

• Shop Shelving & Display System Rebuilt

Shelves now have capacity limits and item visibility affects customer interest

Players can rearrange store layout freely to influence customer flow

• Customer Behavior AI Improved

Customers now evaluate store layout, cleanliness, and stock variety

Customer personalities now create unpredictable shopping habits

• New Stat System: Charisma & Intelligence

Leveling up now grants points to improve your staff character

Higher charisma attracts more customers

Higher intelligence improves negotiation & profit margins

• Price & Economy Rebalance

Item prices, demand rates, and profit scaling adjusted to be more consistent

Dynamic market fluctuations added (some items become more valuable over time)

• Hunger & Daily Cycle Adjustments

Hunger meter drains more slowly and can be restored with new consumables

Daily reset now triggers a summary showing profit / loss

Bug Fixes & Optimization

We will continue to refine these systems based on your feedback. Thank you for supporting the Early Access development! ❤️
