Devlog #3: Customization and Improvements

Have a great week, Toy Merchants! 🐼


We’re back with our third devlog, and this time we’re diving into the exciting new customization options and game improvements we’ve added to Toy Shop Simulator. These updates are designed to enhance your experience, give you more control over your shop’s personality, and make gameplay smoother and more engaging. Let’s break it all down:

[h2]Polished In-Game UI[/h2]
We’ve updated the player interface and refined pop-up notifications for a cleaner, more cohesive look. These updates make the overall experience more intuitive.





[h2]Wall Painting with Paint Buckets[/h2]
Express your creativity! You can now paint your shop walls using a variety of colorful paint buckets. Choose from a range of colors and patterns to make your toy shop stand out and reflect your unique style.



[h2]New Shop Signboards[/h2]

To complement the naming system, we’ve added a collection of new signboards. These come in various styles and designs to ensure your shop’s exterior looks as inviting as possible.



[h2]New Decorations and Racks[/h2]
Take your shop’s interior to the next level with a plethora of new decorations and racks. From charming ornaments to practical shelving, these additions will make your shop feel more vibrant and functional.



[h2]Enhanced Toy Interaction[/h2]
Based on your feedback from the demo, we’ve added the ability to pick up toys! You can now move them individually, drop them on the floor, and rearrange them however you like.



[h2]Introducing the Warehouse System[/h2]
As your business grows, so does the need for storage. That’s why we’ve implemented a warehouse system! Now you can stockpile toys in your warehouse and replenish your shelves as needed, ensuring that you’re always prepared for the busiest of days.

[h2]Beginner Friendly Tutorial System[/h2]
Based on your feedback from the demo, we’ve improved the tutorial system to better guide new players. With clearer instructions and more interactive elements, you’ll feel right at home in no time.

[h2]Save Backup System[/h2]
We know how frustrating it is to lose progress after encountering a bug, especially after hours of work. That’s why we’re working on improving our save backup system. Our goal is to ensure no one has to rearrange their shelves twice!

[h2]New Game for Blindman[/h2]
Blindman is back with a new mini-game! Test your skills and enjoy a fresh challenge as you immerse yourself in this latest addition.

[h3]That’s all for this devlog. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, happy selling![/h3]

Devlog#2: Customers – Bringing the Store to Life

Hello again, Toy Merchants! 🚂


We’re thrilled to present our second devlog, and this time it’s all about the lifeblood of your toy shop: the customers. From playful children to meticulous shoppers, we’ve added new layers of interaction and personality to make your store feel more alive than ever before. Let’s dive into what’s new and improved!

[h2]New Customer Models – Welcome the Little Shoppers![/h2]
We’ve introduced a variety of new customer models, including children who now eagerly browse your shelves for the perfect toy. Watch as they light up with excitement while exploring your shop, or pout when they can’t get their favorite toy. These little shoppers bring a lively and heartwarming touch to the store.



[h2]Queue Up – The Storefront Experience[/h2]
Customers now queue outside your shop when it’s closed, eagerly waiting for the doors to open. Whether it’s the rush of a sale or the allure of a beautifully decorated store, they’ll be ready to storm in once you open for business.



[h2]Reactive Shoppers – Actions Speak Louder[/h2]
Customers have become more reactive than ever before, responding to various in-store events:
  • Price Changes: Customers will cheer for discounts or grumble if prices spike.
  • Wrong Change: Accidentally shortchange someone? Expect frustration!
  • Shelf Interactions: Removing a product while they’re browsing? They’ll definitely let you know how they feel.
  • Mop Mishaps: Annoy customers with excessive mopping, and they might just walk out.
  • End-of-Day Tantrums: At closing time, customers now throw their toys on the floor as they leave.





[h2]Dynamic Reactions and Dialogues[/h2]
Customers comment while picking products off the shelves, sharing thoughts like, “This would be perfect for my kid!” They even react to sabotage events and engage in daily small talk, making every interaction feel unique and immersive.

[h2]Improved Animations – More Expressive and Fun[/h2]
We’ve polished customer animations to make their actions more fluid and entertaining. For example, if you toss a box at a shopper’s head (oops!), they’ll stumble and react accordingly. These little details add humor and charm to your shop’s bustling environment.

[h2]Customer Morale – Keep Them Happy![/h2]
Each customer now has a morale meter that reflects their shopping experience. Here’s how it works:
Positive Influences: Beautiful decorations and a clean shop boost morale.
Negative Influences: Long queues, dirty floors, or not finding what they’re looking for will lower morale.
Keeping customers happy is key to building a loyal clientele and ensuring your toy shop becomes the neighborhood’s favorite destination.

[h3]That’s all for this devlog, Toy Merchants! We’re excited for you to experience these updates and bring your store to life. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, happy selling![/h3]



[h2]THANK YOU [/h2]

Devlog#1: The Journey of Toy Merchants Begins!

Greetings, Toy Merchants! 🧸


It feels like yesterday we launched the demo for Toy Shop Simulator. Your excitement, feedback, and passion have fueled us like never before. Today, we’re thrilled to present our very first devlog as we march toward the release of our Early Access version on January 13th.

This journey has been an emotional rollercoaster. Every bug squashed, every feature added, and every piece of feedback received reminded us why we’re doing this: to create a game that brings joy, challenge, and a touch of mischief to your screens.

Since the demo, we’ve worked tirelessly to craft new features, polish existing mechanics, and breathe more life into the world of Toy Shop Simulator. This game is as much yours as it is ours, and we can’t wait for you to experience all the updates and changes we’ve made.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s new in your journey to becoming the ultimate Toy Merchant. let’s dive into some updates that breathe new life into Toy Shop Simulator.

[h2]Toyverse and the War of Shops[/h2]
Toyverse isn’t just a name; it’s a formidable force in the toy-selling world. You start the game as a hardworking employee at Toyverse, struggling to make ends meet. Despite your dedication, your boss fires you without warning, leaving you unable to pay your rent and forcing you to spend the night on a park bench. But as dawn breaks, you receive a message and a key from your grandfather. He shares the story of how he once ran one of the most beloved toy shops in the neighborhood, only to close it down when he couldn’t compete with the rising power of Toyverse. Now, he entrusts you with the mission of reviving the shop and restoring the neighborhood’s golden days. Will you rise to the challenge and become the community’s favorite toy merchant?



[h2]Rival and Chaos – Introducing Sabotage Mechanics![/h2]
Competing in the toy business means staying sharp and sometimes playing dirty. Toyverse, the reigning franchise, is relentless in its mission to crush any competition. That’s where sabotage comes in! Let’s introduce you to three playful yet devious mechanics to help you level the playing field:

First, meet the Jammer Remote Car. This handy little gadget lets you sneak into your rival’s territory and disrupt their internet. No Wi-Fi means no online orders—the perfect way to throw a wrench in their plans!



Next, it’s time to unleash the Fuse Box Frenzy. Armed with a trusty screwdriver, you can sabotage your rival’s electrical box and plunge their shop into darkness. No lights, no sales—just pure chaos!



Finally, bring in the big guns with Garbage Truck Mayhem. Arrange for a garbage truck to dump a heap of trash right in front of their pristine storefront. Nothing says “shop elsewhere” quite like the stench of sabotage!



These quirky mechanics not only bring strategy but also add a touch of humor to the cutthroat world of toy retail. Remember, though, Toyverse won’t sit idly by. It’s a battle of wits and wiles—are you ready to take them on?
