🤖 Nav Mesh Generation Rework
We've fully reworked how the nav mesh generates, to account for several cases in which the shop nav mesh could be destroyed. Customers and employees should get stuck much less frequently.
Please be aware that the first time you load your shop will take a bit longer to convert your previous shop nav mesh.
If you still experience issues, check out the ESC -> Help menu to manually regenerate your shop's nav mesh and please leave us feedback on the Steam forums or https://discord.gg/Saleblazers.
👴🏻Teleporting Pop Pop and Condensing Pop Pop's Quest
We've heard a lot of feedback from players on our Steam reviews and forums that completing Pop Pop's quest may be too tedious because his house is so far away.
In addition to the existing option of teleporting yourself to the Totem near his house, you now have the option to teleport Pop Pop to his house or shop by talking to him!
We've also made a few changes to condense Pop Pop's questline. There's still the same amount of content, but you shouldn't have to waste as much time going back and forth.
We really want players to complete his quest as fast as possible, since we believe the true Saleblazers experience unlocks once you've ventured out of the starting area!
🎒 Inventory Save/Load Rework
There isn't much to show here, but we've reworked a lot of the backend of loading inventory data. It should run faster and be more stable now.
