Hi there, video store owners!
The wait is finally over! Starting today, you can officially rent out video games and gaming consoles in your stores!
To celebrate the launch of this update, Retro Rewind will be 30% OFF for a week!
We know you've been waiting a long time for this and we want to thank you all for your patience. This was BY FAR our most requested update and we wanted to make sure we delivered the best possible experience!
Get ready... the nostalgia hits hard with this one!
Video Games in the '90s!
Two video game consoles are now available in Retro Rewind: the Super Tenko and the Saga Origin! Rent out both consoles and their games, with thousands of different titles to collect!
Keep an eye on your office calendar for 16 new video game releases, inspired by some of the most iconic games of the '90s! Each new release you order also comes with a promotional ceiling banner to decorate your store!
For all you collectors out there, limited editions are back! Discover special metallic color variants inspired by the classic colored cartridges of the '90s!
"oooooooo shiny!"
Tech Shed Electronics
There's a new electronics store in town! This is where you'll be able to buy video games and get your damaged VHS players and gaming consoles repaired.
Make sure to stop by every once in a while... you never know when a limited edition game might pop up for sale!
Customer Profiles + New Ban System
Back in April, we asked our community to vote on which feature they'd like to see added to the game. Customer Profiles came out on top in our Discord poll and we're excited to finally bring this highly requested feature to Retro Rewind!
After scanning a customer's first item, you'll now be able to access their membership profile on the checkout computer. From there, you can browse their purchase and fee histories.
The Mighty Ban Button!
FINALLY! It's time to punish those angry customers who throw tantrums over $2 late fees!
The very satisfying Ban Button has been added to the Customer Profile UI, allowing you to permanently ban troublesome customers from your store! We've also reworked the customer system so that banning rude customers who refuse to pay their fees will gradually improve your store's clientele. And don't worry, you can always give them a second chance by unbanning them from the Ban List!
Originally, we planned to introduce a VIP system to reward loyal customers with the addition of Customer Profiles. However, after hearing how much our community wanted a way to deal with unpleasant customers, we decided to replace the VIP feature with the much-requested Ban System.
More Shelves & Gaming Merchandise!
To help keep your store organized, we've added new video game shelving units for both standard games and new releases! We've also added plenty of new decorations to customize your gaming corner, including neon signs, rugs, gaming displays, and much more!
We've also added a new shelf type: the Dense Movie Shelf! It's a little more expensive, but it can hold a lot more movies! A big shoutout to our modding community for coming up with the idea!
New Store Expansions!
With so much new content, where are you going to find the space to display thousands of video games and all that new gaming merchandise?! Fear not, we've added 2 new store expansions to give you more room! One new store room and one additional storage area!
MORE MOVIES!
As always, we just can't help ourselves when it comes to adding more movies... This time, we're adding 13 new movie releases, bringing the grand total to a whopping 40!!!
Extra Goodies + QoL Improvements!
Controller support has been added, covering most gameplay features.
2 new music track by our talented composer Charles-Etienne Martin has been added to the Retro Rewind soundtrack.
5 new Steam achievements to unlock
QoL: Staff can now carry up to 10 movies/games at once when processing returns.
QoL: Fewer customers will enter your store near closing time, making it quicker to wrap up your day!
FYI: While we encourage players to create mods, we unfortunately can’t provide direct support for them. That said, new updates may occasionally cause issues or crashes when mods are installed. If you encounter any issues, such as a Fatal Crash error, you can switch to the SystemRentalBuild branch. This is a special version of the game that does not receive recent updates and allows you to continue playing on version 2308.
