ChangeLog 09.15 - Plus An Experiment!

Hi everyone,

Some small fixes for Shoppe Keep today.

Changelog 09.15

• Fixed an issue where bots would not work
• Fixed an issue where when rugs placed near book shelves, it was difficult to place items on the lower two shelves
• Started work on new customer interaction, though not functional completely. Press F when near a customer for a small preview.

We are aware of a new issue brought in the last patch where customers will not purchase an item if another customer purchased the item they were originally going for. We are looking into this.

An Experiment

I’d like to propose a small experiment. Anyone’s involvement would really be awesome! Please try to do the following:

  • Reset your skills & delete my shoppe save data
  • Play as best as you can (unlocking skills, placing new furniture at the end of the day) all the way up to the end of Day five.
  • Once you reach the morning of day six, take a screenshot of your statistics and share it with us in the forums via steams screenshot (pressing F12 while in game). I’d really like to see how players progress and what sort of money they can make in the first six days.

This will really help us in terms of seeing how fast players grow their Shoppe and see how best we can balance the progress of gameplay.

I’ll start, here are my first 5 days statistics using the most recent patch. Obviously, I need to keep a better eye on thieves as over half of them in the first 5 days seem to have scampered off with goods from my shoppe.

There may even be a reward for you all in game who do this. Try your best to post your screenshot URL in the comments of this announcement so I can track who is helping us out with all of this. Anyone’s assistance on this really would help us with this.

All the best,
Chris
