Playtest Update ver. 0.260814.0

Hey everyone!

A new Sproutmart playtest update is now available. This update includes several quality-of-life improvements, a fish cooler, fixes to customer and employee behavior, and changes based directly on recent playtest feedback.

Thank you to everyone who continues to play and share feedback!

Added & Improved

• Added a highlighted coverage radius preview when placing sprinklers.
• Reduced the purchase price and range of sprinklers to better account for needing multiple sprinklers to cover larger fields.
• Added an option to mute the game while the window is not focused.
• Pressing Enter can now confirm the entered cash amount at the checkout.
• Pressing Escape can now exit the computer and checkout register interfaces.
• Pressing Escape can now close the shelf label and price customization panels.
• Escape control hints are now displayed on the computer and checkout register interfaces.
• Reduced standby and loading delays when opening the computer and checkout register.
• Updated the Main Menu button highlight to yellow.
• Added mixed fish storage(Fish Cooler), allowing different fish types to be stored together instead of requiring a separate box for each type.

Fixed

• Customer notification UI placing issues when the customer is behind the player.
• Boxes can now be placed on the fishing pier.
• Customers no longer inspect shelves that do not have a product label.
• Customers will now search other shelves for the same product instead of immediately considering an item out of stock after finding one empty labeled shelf.
• Customers will no longer become angry or report an item as out of stock when the requested product is still available on another shelf.
• Fixed shelving units placed by clients not being properly registered for customer shopping.
• Fixed an issue with the Sorter following the player to retrieve a box in single player.
• Customers still waiting in the checkout line when the day ends are now shown leaving instead of instantly disappearing.
• Products carried by customers are now safely returned when closing or leaving a session instead of being lost.

Please continue reporting any issues or suggestions through the in-game feedback button or the usual playtest channels.

The Playtest will close on August 24 as we prepare for the Early Access release.

Thank you for helping improve Sproutmart!
