Greetings Store Owners! Here are the quick fixes and additions:
Additions:
- New section in the Daily Analytics tab in the tablet to show daily supplier price changes! Use this to know if you should stock up on a cheaper item to sell later for a higher profit! And to make sure to keep up with daily price changes so customers keep buying.
Fixes:
- Fixed Autosave not saving some crucial backend managers.
- More backend validity checks to prevent crashes.
Changes:
- The game is now fully in DirectX 11, meaning there is no Lumen (Global Illumination) which makes indirect lighting no longer a thing. This brings massive FPS boost as well as better PC compatibility!
Additional notes:
- We've been working hard for the past few weeks and we are going to push another product pack update within a few days, as well as a new Fridge, Freezer and Food Cooler placeable, and frozen/refrigerable products to accompany that which will release in a week or two.
- Thank you for your patience for these past 3 weeks, It's been busy at my main job and my 3D Artist has had a lot of University to attend. The game is not dead or abandoned!!!
- Do NOT be afraid to make a community bug post, suggestion for the game. I appreciate those a lot!
Upcoming updates:
- The fridge and freezer brings spoiling products, so you'll have about a minute or two (still figuring out the timing to use), to bring the parishable foods from the truck to the new "Food Cooler" placeable, allowing it to not parish. This also brings a new dumpster/garbage bin placeable which is required for dumping bad product boxes to free up space. You get back 10% of each left over product as well as 50 cents for the box, with or without products.
- And yes, that means we are going to have boxes not disappear out of your hands or restockers hands when they get empty. As annoying as this is, it gives you back some money and is supposed to be realistic as possible and gives you something to do in the early game. Restockers will do this for you as well.
- An update that will probably come start of next month, is fully random customers- as in facial, skin, clothes. This should help lesson the twin and triplets coming into your store!
- An update which might be mid January will hope to be a security guard update, shoplifting, security cameras etc.
