SAY HELLO TO THE DEGENERATES!
The degenerates are finally here and they're about to ruin your day!
In order to make the gameplay more challenging once you've got employees doing all the work for you, we've introduced the degenerates.
So who are the degenerates you ask? Well, they're the worst of the worst: crackheads, bath salts dealers, and the biggest POS of all: the snitch.
CRACKHEADS
Crackheads will turn up at night and try to steal any merch they can get their hands on for a quick flip. They're sneaky and pretty quick so either keep your Bum Basher on standby or hire extra security.
BATH SALTS DEALERS
The dealers will poach your customers up and down the boardwalk while peddling their s**t and slowly chipping away at that customer loyalty stat you've worked so hard to build up.
THE SNITCH
Salty about the lack of influencers and dumber than a bag of d***s, the snitch will try to scare your customers away by making BS accusations about your shop, which will ultimately hurt your respect stats.
To help you deal with a new set of challenges posed by the degenerates we've added more higher-tier employees and a couple of new melee weapons to your arsenal.
OTHER CHANGES
Degenerates aside, we've also made some significant changes to the codebase and the NPC model generation, which should help improve performance on lower-end PCs. We've rebalanced the wack quality settings for better visuals while at the same time reducing the video memory usage as well.
WHAT'S NEXT
The Twitcher app is still a work in progress at the moment, we're still adding and testing features on a small scale. If everything goes according to plan we should have it ready for the general public by the end of the month. We've also begun work on the trippy events and sidequests that should make the daily grind less grindy... We'll be busting those out one at a time as soon as we got something ready!
Stay tuned! ːws_peaceː
