Thank you for all your feedback! ❤️ We’ve made another round of improvements and have just released a new hotfix for Retail Rivals.
🗑️ Trash Bags Improved
Trash bags can now be set to unlimited capacity.
This allows you to decide how strict you want the trash system to be in your game.
🎨 New Placement Preview
When storing or taking out items, you now get a colored preview.
This makes it much easier to see where an item will be placed or removed.
🔄 Improved Phase Transitions
Phase changes are now displayed with a new, dedicated icon.
This makes it much clearer when a new phase is about to begin.
🎮 All Game Modes Now Available in the Demo!
The demo has received another major improvement.
You can now choose between all three game modes:
♾️ Endless
🚗 Car Buyer
😈 Saboteur
You can now experience Retail Rivals in whichever game mode you prefer, even in the demo!
🏗️ Building Improvements
Building restriction areas around shop doors have been adjusted more precisely.
Shop doors have been migrated to the new door system.
The coloring of placed furniture has been improved.
Products now reliably keep their original colors.
Certain wall materials are intentionally excluded from coloring.
🏁 Improved End Screen
The end screen has been improved.
Unnecessary menus are now automatically closed when the end screen appears.
The mouse cursor is reliably released for the following vote.
💡 Improved Lighting & Shadows
The mall's lighting and shadows have been further reworked.
This gives the mall a more polished look and adds more depth to the environment.
🛠️ More Improvements
Several smaller issues have also been fixed across:
Scenes
Save Games
Multiplayer
UI
Interactions
