Hello there!
This Dev Diary is about the next planned Demo Update 1.4
It's still early in development, and I would love to hear your feedback!
Events and Effects
The core idea of the update is Events and Effects
This new mechanic will introduce random events that temporarily impact gameplay and balance. Every few days, something unexpected will happen in your shop, creating a challenge (or opportunity) that you’ll need to adapt to
Example Event: Thief! 🕵️♂️
A sneaky thief is operating near your store, stealing random products at the end of each day.
- You’ll need to restock those products, costing you extra money.
- To minimize the damage, selling as much as possible during the day is your best bet!
Other event ideas I have
- Supplier Discount 💸 – Get special price cuts for a limited time
- Road Maintenance 🚧 – Roadworks in front of your shop reduce customer traffic
- City Festival 🎉 – More visitors and increased sales
- Perfect Weather 🌅 – People are in a shopping mood, increased customer traffic
And many more
