Weed Shop 3 News

Hey guys, hope everyone had a lit 4.20!

Our 4.20 was a little less lit and we totally dropped the ball with the second update...
Basically, short story even shorter, by implementing a special 420 task we ended up breaking the game's tutorial and ended up having to revert to a 4.19 backup...

In other words, the 4.20 quest is gone as if it never existed, and we learned a valuable lesson to stop winging it and stick to the roadmap.

TODAY'S UPDATE INCLUDES:

• Improved performance when using the in-game PC or the main menu
  
• New rolling/packaging tables
  
• Auto-Rolling/Packaging equipment (still a WIP, since the Joint roller has a significant hit on the performance, but we're hoping to have it worked out by tomorrow)
  

Happy 420 Everyone!

What a crazy ride 2020/21 has been so far, but Weed Shop 3 is finally out in Early Access, and thanks to all of your support and contributions, it's been getting better with each day!

We're really blown away by how much our Discord community believes in a game which TBH on day 1 was pretty unplayable ;) But now that those days are behind us, let's talk about what's ahead for Weed Shop 3.

Besides the daily tweaks and bug fixes, we're currently working on some auto-rolling/packing equipment, a feature to manage in-shop prices, a day & night cycle which has an effect on gameplay, and NPC staff to run your shop for you.

As for today, we've already dropped a mini update that gives you double the XP when doing tasks stoned, reduced level 1 upgrade prices, and added a few more wallpaper options. If things go according to plan, we'll be dropping a second 420 content update a little later in the day.

In the meantime, @ProphetRTE and @Kyle_James have set up the first Weed Shop 3 Content Creator Challenge! So if you're a Youtuber or a Twitch Streamer, click the link below to get in on the action:

When we launched Weed Shop 3 in Early Access just two weeks ago, we had no idea what a sh**tshow day 1 would turn out to be. But thanks to your support and continuous bug reporting we've managed to get most of the critical bugs worked out, improve the performance (if even by a tiny margin), and get to the point where we can start implementing new features and content.

So once again, thank you guys for taking a leap of faith and supporting our first EA release!
