Hello, and thank you to everyone who has tried the demo!
If you haven't tried it yet, you can download it from the game's store page!
After gathering your feedback and analyzing it, I've planned a new update for the demo with features that will extend and rebalance the core gameplay.
What to rebalance?
Currently, the game has only Restock expenses, which makes it too simple for many players.
This was a temporary decision for the demo to make it more accessible.
However, after receiving feedback, it's clear that the demo lacks challenge, and this needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
It's important to improve on that before adding more content.
Daily Expenses
To make the game more challenging and fun, daily expenses will be added - cashiers will require salaries and shop tiles will require maintenance payments.
The initial store size with one cash desk will be easy to maintain, but the bigger you grow, the more interesting the financial challenge should become.
Loans
It's important to also give you more tools to increase your opportunities with these mechanics, so the Loans will also be added.
If you don't have much money on your hands but have a great idea about improving your shop, you can take a loan.
It will also save you from going bankrupt when you have a negative balance.
This feature will save your shop from its worst days and give you more opportunities for rapid growth.
Other
Bugs and incompatibilities will be addressed in the next update, like problems with ultra-wide monitors and other resolutions. Thank you for mentioning these problems!
Additionally, some UX improvements are planned, especially to assist with placing cash desks in the desired direction. I know almost everyone struggles with it 😂
The new demo update will take some time, and as soon as it's done I'll publish a new announcement about it!

I hope you have a great day, and see you in future updates!
