What's a store without cleaning? Now there's a trash bin outside for empty boxes.
And don't worry - you can't throw away a box that still has items in it ๐
#GachaShopSimulator #indiedev #indiegame #cozygame #CozyVibes
๐ Store updates: new shelves with different designs and capacity, improved lighting, a cash register, metal detectors, and a doormat.
#indiedev #indiegame #GachaShopSimulator #CozyVibes #cozygame
New location: warehouse!
Now you can store goods on special shelves and stop tripping over boxes
Each spot has a tag showing what's stored and how much is left.
In the future we'll add a warehouse worker!

โ๏ธ We use Occam's Razor in game design:
If a mechanic can be merged or cut without hurting gameplay โ it goes. Right now we're testing auto-despawn for empty boxes. Small thing, big impact on flow.

๐ฎ Our #1 game design rule for Gacha Shop Simulator? Simple: the player must have fun. Obvious? Yes. Easy to achieve? Not really ๐ #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames #gachaShopsimulator
โจ New UI drop! We upgraded our tablet interface and pricing screen.
Budget was tight, so we adapted an asset pack ourselves โ and honestly? We love how it turned out!

๐ NPC shopping logic we're proud of:
Basket based on customer type
Checks if you have the license
Checks if item is on display
Reacts to your pricing
And yes, they'll react to SALES too ๐
