[h3]Our entire team would like to wish you Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! 🎄 It’s been a good year for our game. We’ve released many devlogs and received tons of your feedback which has definitely shown us the way you'd like the game to go. 💝

We’d like to thank all of you for being there with us and supporting us throughout the year 2023. 🔥👏 We can’t wait to face what the year 2024 has in store for us and we hope you’ll be a part of our journey. 🤩[/h3]

Have a wonderful Christmas and see you soon ☃️

We’re always happy to have you back with us. Today, we’d like to show you a new feature added to the game. We’d like to give you a bit more diversified gameplay experience, so we decided to add the day and night cycle to the game. ☀️🌕


The cycle will diversify your gameplay with some spare time to spend on different activities.
At 9PM there is a 1 hour long transition from day to night. The reverse happens at 6AM and also takes an hour.


At the beginning of your gameplay, you’ll be able to have your shop open from 8AM to 4PM but as you progress, you’ll earn enough points to buy prolonged opening hours, at first to 7PM, eventually prolonging it to a 24h open.

When the shop is closed, you can use the spare time to clean the cages or shop, restocking the supply, buying new shelves, redoing the shop and more! 📝 Once you’re done with the changes you can choose to skip the night and move right to the opening the next day! 👍


Keep in mind that those changes can also be performed during the day but when you want to refurnish the shop while the shop is open, it’ll require you to see all your guests out and manually close the shop before doing it. 🙁

[h3]As always we invite you to add the game to your wishlist and to join our discord community! 👇[/h3]

Today we’d like to talk about two certain workers we’ve introduced you to in the previous devlogs. Those particular workers have a unique power of greatly impacting your sales and as the first one, we’re talking about none other than the “human directionals”. That’s right- the arrow guy! ↗️

[h3]His sole purpose is to encourage people to come to your store. Hiring him increases the attractiveness of your store and as a consequence, the chance a passerby will decide to enter your shop. 💰[/h3]

His power of convincing people is highly relevant on his ability level. If he doesn’t know his way with the advertisement he’ll be a poor asset and often drop it. On the other hand, the highest level allows him to spin it like a pro. 💪


[h3]Let’s move to the other pillar of your shop's earnings. The customer service worker will work on sealing the deal. Whenever one of your customers wonders about buying any particular good, this worker will approach and try to convince the person to buy it. 👍 [/h3]

His success rate as well as the persuasion force is strictly dependent on your employee’s skill in the profession. On top of that, he can easily find any product your shop has to offer if the client wants it.


Don’t forget, no matter how good this employee is, you will always have the strongest persuasive force as long as you can complete the client convincing minigame successfully. 📝

That’s it for today, we’re glad you’ve joined us again in another devlog. We’d like to invite you to join us on our discord 👇 as well as to add the game to your Wishlists on Steam to not miss on any future devlogs and announcements! 💝

Some of you wondered how much of a choice and control you’ll have as the owner of the pet store… With today’s devlog we’ll hopefully shed some light on this topic! 💪

[h3]First of all, we’d like to not force you to sell anything you don’t want to. Therefore, we’ve implemented an absolute freedom in the assortment. 🙂 If you dream of a shop only selling cat food- no problem! You can decide to sell only this particular product. [/h3]


Though, it may not be the best strategy to maximize profit. As we’ve already mentioned in the previous devlogs part of the clients coming into the shop will look for particular items and inform you about it. 📝 If the item they’re looking for is not available they’ll leave your shop and you earn nothing. That’s why one of the challenges awaiting you will be facing clients’ requirements and ensuring diversity of offered goods in the limited space your current business offers. 🤔

[h3]The products you’ll be able to sell can be divided into categories, some of which are:

-food 🥫
-cages
-toys 🧸
-leashes, suspenders, collars
-hygiene and healthcare ➕
-accessories (fur brushes etc.)
-small animals 🐭[/h3]

Keep in mind these are not all of them and more will be available later in the full version of the game! 🐹


The process of ordering the products is pretty simple and straightforward. All you have to do is to add the products you’re interested in buying to the shopping cart and then press order. After a short while a truck 🚚 will arrive and deploy your order on a euro palette in the upload zone in front of the store.


[h3]Once the order is there, you can click on the boxes to unload them automatically onto the storage shelves. Of Course first you need to have them. If you don’t have enough space, the palette will remain in the upload zone without a way to unpack it. 😥[/h3]


If the player has space on store shelves for certain items which have been ordered, the storage worker will automatically start restocking the shelves with the items. If not, you have to designate what has to be on a particular shelf by putting the first commodity by yourself. After that as soon as the designated item appears in the storage, the shelf will be restocked automatically.

[h3]We’d like to remind you about the possibility of expanding your store. This will offer you a solution to the lack of space and allow you to offer more variable goods! 🤩[/h3]

Let us know what you think about this aspect of our game! We can’t wait to hear from you on our discord 👇 or in the comment section. If you’d like to support us, we’d love you to add Pet Shop Simulator to your wishlist! 👇

[h2]We’re glad to see you again in your future Pet Shop. 🐇 Today, we’d like to direct our undivided attention to one particular asset your shop has- the parking lot. 🚗[/h2]

[h3]When you first start running your shop, it comes with a small area with 4 parking spaces. But with the money you’re going to earn throughout your gameplay you can increase your parking area and buy more spaces. 👍[/h3]

WIthout a sufficient amount of the parking spaces your potential clients who’d like to drive to your shop will drive away which causes your cash flow to stagnate. 🙁

Therefore an investment in more spaces will most likely increase your daily income and allow you to invest more money! 🥳 💰


As you can imagine, many articles for your pets can be quite heavy and large so it’s only natural that the clients who drive to your shop are more likely to spend more money than those who walk. 🚶

[h3]When you run out of your own parking area don’t worry, you can always expand your shop and acquire all the parking spaces in the process. We’ll talk to you about it more in the future devlogs 👍[/h3]


Armed with the knowledge about the impact of parking spaces on your economy, plan your business development strategy carefully! 💼 In the meantime you can join our discord and let us know your opinions and ideas about the game or add it to your wishlist on Steam to get informed about any future newses! 👇
