Greetings Shopkeepers!
Autumn has truly begun now and that means sitting inside with your preferred hot beverage, while the customers come rolling in or while crafting your next masterpiece. Just lovely.
For a long time now, a highly requested feature was Click to Move, in this update you can now finally move just with your mouse. Click on a destination and you will walk there, or hold the mouse button to move in the direction of the mouse pointer. This feature can be enabled in the Settings menu (Settings -> Gameplay -> Accessibility).
We need your feedback to improve this feature, so don't hesitate to get in touch with us!
Update Highlights
For the second update of the UI overhaul, we have tackled the settings menu, here you will find all new graphics, audio and gameplay options and some old and trusted ones! All with a shiny new look.
A major addition is the addition of a controls tab, here you can find all of the controls for keyboard and controller, accompanied with a convenient category drop down for context based controls.
6 wonderful new crafting decorations have been added to the game, 2 for each profession. You can unlocked these by completing objectives accompanying the corresponding profession. These will really add some style to your shop!
Returning players
Last update we updated the engine for Winkeltje. If you took a break and haven't played since before Update 3818, but now decide you want to open up shop again there will be incompatibilities with any previous saves you've had. But all is not lost! Included in Update 3906 is a save converter which will convert your shop save file and make it ready for this version and beyond. Simply load that version from steam, load up your shop and you’re good to go to update to the latest (stable) version.
Instructions for how to do this can be found here: Fix: "Error loading save file. File is likely outdated."(https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791463886720/announcements/detail/1597010908188855828)
