Hey everyone, I can't believe how fast time passed while I've been busy working on the updates.
TCG Card Shop Simulator has officially been on Steam Early Access for one whole year!

I want to take a quick moment to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone for your support and being part of my solo dev journey. Your feedback, bug reports, and encouragement have really helped me make the game into something far more polished than it was a year ago!

A quick look back at just how far we’ve come together:


The journey has been long, but it’s far from over. The biggest feature still on the roadmap is the playable card game. It may be the final boss on the roadmap, but I’ve been actively playtesting with physical prototypes, exploring mechanics, and refining the design. It’s not quite ready yet, and will probably take quite a while until it's up to standard, but I’m just as excited as you are to see it added to the game!


Next week, there will be an update that comes with some QoL improvements, Steam achievements, bug fixes and a little surprise. Stay tuned!

Again, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means the world to me, and I’m excited for what’s still to come!

Special thanks to the studio involved in this update:

[p][/p][p]Hey everyone, it's been quite a while since the last update on TCG Card Shop Simulator. I apologize for the silence and I understand the frustration of not seeing any news on Steam. I want to be clear here and say that I will only make official announcements on Steam when I feel fully confident and ready on new update. That said, rest assured I'm still working solely on this game. [/p][p]The next update will focus on card grading. It's taking longer than expected as there's just a lot of things to adjust and I want to avoid breaking existing features. However, most of the important functions are already in place. I plan to get the update done and tested by end of August, or latest by early September.[/p][p][/p][h3]✅ Completed:[/h3]

• [p]Graded card case[/p]
• [p]Card textures to show imperfections[/p]
• [p]Graded card pricing[/p]
• [p]Album just for storing graded cards[/p]

[h3]🔧 Still in progress:[/h3]

• [p]Sending cards to be graded[/p]
• [p]Grading card website/app[/p]
• [p]Price graph for graded cards[/p]

[p]Thank you for your patience and continued support![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce a new update that allows you to further personalize your card shop with a variety of customizable features!


You can now modify the materials for the walls, floor, and ceiling of your card shop. And decorations like posters, statues, plants, etc are available for you to purchase and place within your shop. Make your shop stand out with these decorations and you might attract more customers to come and visit!


For even more flexibility, you can also place decorations outside your shop (within a certain range).


A new app, Hobby DECO, has been added to the in-game phone. You can buy all the shop decorations on the app.


All purchased decorations will be automatically stored inside your decoration inventory, so you don't have to manage mountain of packages for decorations. Press C (PC) or RB button (gamepad) to open the decoration inventory.


Currently there are a total of 60+ shop materials, 72 posters and 56 decorations. More will be added in future updates.


Notes / Changelist:
-The Controller D-pad should now functions correctly for UI selection
-Hold Right Mouse Button (PC) or RB (gamepad) to temporarily disable snapping when moving object
-Press F (PC) or Left Face Button (gamepad) to flip a poster while moving it
-Decoration can be placed outside the shop (within certain distance)
-Wall, floor, and ceiling materials are separated by Shop Lot A & B, so you can have different materials for both area
Fix bug - unable to close the decoration inventory screen using Esc button
Fix bug - unable to open pause screen after closing decoration inventory screen

I hope you enjoy these new features and continue to create your awesome card shop :)
