Hello everyone!
I have some great news to share: our team is now officially two people.
I recently brought one of my longtime friends onto the team. We studied together at university, and he is a seasoned developer who has worked on several AAA and AA projects throughout his career. He has a great deal of experience, and in many ways, he is like another version of me on the development side. I wish him good luck working on 300k+ lines of code on Megastore Simulator
This will help us improve the development pace of Megastore Simulator while maintaining the level of care and attention the game requires. It will also give us more room to explore a few things we have been quietly working on. We will have some exciting news to share really soon.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and feedback.
New Vehicle: High Pallet Stacker
A new warehouse vehicle, the High Pallet Stacker, has been added to the game.
It was designed as a simpler alternative to the Reach Truck for players who want to access the highest warehouse racks but prefer more straightforward driving mechanics.
Purchase price: $20,000
Requires Warehouse Expansion Level 10
Mast movement speed: 1.2 m/s
Capable of reaching 5-high warehouse racks
Provides a more accessible alternative to the Reach Truck
The High Pallet Stacker was added in response to feedback from players who wanted another way to access high racks without having to use the Reach Truck. The new vehicle has much simpler movement mechanics to handle pallets.
Vehicle Improvements
The Reach Truck’s mast and fork movement speed has been increased from 1.2 unit/s to 1.6 m/s.
For comparison:
Reach Truck: 1.6 m/s
High Pallet Stacker: 1.2 m/s
Forklift: 1.2 m/s
Pallet Stacker: 0.8 m/s
