Hello everyone!
Update v0.6 is now live! Today's update brings something that has been requested quite a bit - Achievements! We're also bringing more holiday decorations for the winter season, new books, a new legendary, and (as always) quality of life improvements and fixes.
Steam Achievements:
We're bringing the first rollout of achievements to Bookshop Simulator today! We've been keeping track of certain things behind the scenes that we knew we wanted to have achievements for in the future so when loading a save with the update, you may be granted one-time achievements that you've already surpassed and may have progress on many others that will update/grant the next time you take related actions.
Note for completionists; We are in early access and will undoubtedly add more achievements with upcoming major features or new locations so please don't expect that you will retain 100% completion if you get all of these achievements.
Holiday Decorations:
New holiday decorations have dropped for those that enjoy the winter season! We've got a festive Christmas tree, a chilly snowman, an assortment of presents, two new rugs, and three new wallpapers to get into the mood.
With these also comes a small change. Certain objects can now be placed or built outside of the store to decorate the outside of your shop a bit more as well as the inside.
New Books:
As usual, a new set of books have dropped to continue adding to your growing stock of products.
New Legendary:
In October, we ran a decoration contest for the Halloween season in our Discord. We wanted to thank everyone for participating and the wonderfully creative submissions we received. This new legendary will provide a bonus to candy sales.
Quality of Life/Fixes:
As usual, we've also included a number of quality of life improvements and bug fixes. You can check out the full change log below!
