Liquor Store Simulator News

Dear store owners!

We've been quiet for a while — we were hard at work on the new product delivery system and many other improvements. Now we're ready to present update 1.1.0! The main feature is the product delivery system, which will help you earn additional income and rating during downtime between serving customers. Additionally, we've added several improvements that will make the gameplay even more comfortable and realistic.

Oh, and we almost forgot — you can now take your store with you anywhere! The game is officially Steam Deck verified, having passed all compatibility tests successfully.

[h3]New Features:[/h3]

• Added product delivery system — accept orders through the computer and deliver them yourself
  
• You can now change prices directly from price tags
  
• New sounds and customer phrases for various situations
  
• Shelves now highlight in yellow when placing items or boxes would replace the price tag or label
  

[h3]Improvements and Optimization:[/h3]

• Enhanced and improved tutorial for better understanding of game mechanics
  
• Improved object placement system near walls
  
• Stock handlers now properly respond to price tag removal during restocking
  

[h3]Bug Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed achievement unlocking for 100 services and 100 correct ID checks
  
• Fixed issues with warehouse shelf interaction after stock handlers place boxes
  

Thank you for your support and patience! This update was made possible thanks to your feedback and suggestions. Keep sharing your thoughts — we carefully read every message, even if we don't always respond!

Thank you to everyone who reported issues with box shelves after the 1.0.4 update!

We promptly investigated the situation and discovered a critical bug affecting the shelf functionality. This patch contains a fix for this issue. The shelves should now work correctly.

If you still encounter any strange behavior or inconveniences when working with shelves, please describe the situation in detail and, if possible, attach screenshots in the game's Steam community. This will help us identify and resolve the problem faster.

Thank you for your feedback and patience!

Dear store owners!

We're happy to announce that the long-awaited gamepad support is finally available! Now you can choose your preferred control method — keyboard and mouse or gamepad. Additionally, we've improved the box shelves, making interaction with them a bit more comfortable.

[h2]About Music and Copyright[/h2]
We continue working on protecting content creators from false copyright claims. We've removed the "Soft Romantic Piano" track from Streamer Mode, as it was sometimes causing issues as well.

If you're creating content and facing copyright claims for music from the game, please let us know. We strive to promptly add problematic tracks to the Streamer Mode exclusion list to keep your streams and videos restriction-free.

Thank you for your patience and support! New improvements are already in the works, so stay tuned for updates!

Dear store owners!

While our assistants are finally getting the hang of doorways, we've focused on improving other aspects of your business. We've made significant improvements to warehouse logistics – your stock handlers will now move boxes with purpose rather than randomly! We've also upgraded shopping baskets to give you better control over which items to place where. Small improvements, big difference!

[h3]Warehouse System Improvements:[/h3]

• Stock handlers now prioritize emptier shelves (apparently your hints finally got through)
  
• Stock handlers now attempt to coordinate which items they're moving to avoid duplicating efforts
  
• Lowered shelf positions on warehouse racks for easier access
  

[h3]Store Operations Improvements:[/h3]

• Use mouse wheel to select which basket item to place on empty shelves
  
• Limited basket variety to 12 different product types (total capacity remains 40 items)
  

[h3]Fixes and Other Improvements:[/h3]

• Character can finally crouch
  
• Tags on empty shelves now save correctly
  
• Fixed box pickup order after loading saves (no more levitating boxes!)
  
• Fixed aspect ratios on some desktop wallpapers in the computer
  
• Fixed floor material saving (apologies, but the bank refuses to reimburse expenses, citing their "corporate policy")
  

[h2]Music & Copyright Notice[/h2]
We discovered that "The Groove" triggers copyright claims for content creators, despite having a license that should allow free use. We've excluded this track from Streamer Mode to prevent strikes, while regular players can still enjoy the music.

If you're creating content and experiencing similar issues, please let us know which specific tracks are triggering copyright claims. We'll promptly add them to the Streamer Mode exclusion list!

[h2]What's Coming Next?[/h2]
We're hard at work on complete controller support and plan to finish it soon. You'll be able to manage your store from the comfort of your couch with a gamepad in hand!

Thank you for your continued support and feedback! Don't hesitate to share any issues you encounter in the discussions – you never know, your issue might be fixed in the very next update!

Dear store owners!

We're excited to announce our assistants have finally completed the basic course "How Not to Get Stuck in Doorways"! No more strange attempts to squeeze through door frames or walk through display windows instead of doors. These goofballs have finally mastered obstacle navigation and can now proudly move between rooms without making you want to quit the game.

Besides re-educating our hapless assistants, update 1.0.2 includes the following improvements:

• Welcome a new employee! Your store now has a female assistant who might bring some common sense to the team
  
• Equipped warehouse shelves with tags that display the total quantity of goods in boxes on the shelf
  
• Assistants have become smarter at arranging boxes in the warehouse: they now prioritize shelves with tags before looking for any empty space
  
• Made shopping baskets smarter: they can now interact with boxes on shelves and place exactly the product indicated on the price tag (if one exists)
  
• Added a 21+ sticker to cash register screens
  
• Enhanced the computer desktop with new stylish wallpapers
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed changing product prices during a customer's shelf viewing animation, causing them to pay the modified price
  
• Fixed Shift key behavior when editing text fields on the computer - now everything works as intended
  

Thanks for your feedback and bug reports — they help us make the game better! Keep sharing any issues or wishes you encounter.

By the way, if you notice our poor fellows studying wall geometry again — let us know. They might need to take an additional course in spatial orientation!
