Shop Titans News

This update is slated for release next week.


[h2]Backend Infrastructure[/h2]
We’ve spent considerable efforts over the past months completely restructuring many of our backend systems. While this is almost completely invisible to the player, it is absolutely vital to ensure Shop Titans’ continued development.
