For the longest time, all of you have been collecting strange currency, in the form of Stamps, by finishing "Daily Challenges." All your work will finally have paid off.
Today, we introduce the Post Office. The Post Office is a new store where we are experimenting with a new concept in Penguin Heist. Namely, time. Every 24 hours, the Post Office will be restocked with new items for you to spend your stamps on.
Since this is the first time we are adding something like this, we are also very keen on adapting and changing it in ways to make it more fun. We want the Post Office to be an exciting addition that makes the penguin village feel more alive, as if the village lives and breathes even when the game is off!
The Post Office will start by only offering you new items and weapons, but will later offer you a chance to buy rare cosmetics, and even furniture (player housing! hint-hint)
We also want to introduce more ways to earn stamps other than simply completing Daily Challenges, as that may be too constricting. But - that is for another time.
