[h3]Hello everyone,[/h3][h3]1️⃣ We’d like to inform you that the Playtest version previously available is no longer accessible.

Your support means the world to us and keeps us motivated to work even harder.[/h3][p][/p][h3]3️⃣ Looking ahead: before the end of this year we’ll be announcing the release date of our Demo 🎉.[/h3][p][/p][h3] We hope to count on your support during this stage, as your feedback will be crucial to improve the game and shape it according to what players truly want.[/h3][h3]Thank you all for your patience, trust, and continued support! 💙[/h3]

Important announcement

Hello, everyone!

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who played the game and reported the issues they encountered. Thanks to all your feedback, I ended up having to rework a large portion of the game, as many bugs were found—and rebuilding several systems was the best solution I could see moving forward.

Because of this, the PlayTest will remain available to everyone, but the next update (V0.1.6) may take a bit longer to release.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Discord

PlayTest starts tomorrow!

[h2]Dear players,[/h2]

We're thrilled to announce that the playtest for Store Life Simulator will begin this Sunday, May 4th!

  • Please note that the game is currently in a very raw alpha stage and is being developed by a single person. This playtest aims to shape the game according to players' preferences, creating an experience that truly meets the community's expectations.


The playtest has no scheduled end date. The more feedback we receive from the community, the longer we'll keep the playtest running, as each new update may bring new issues that will need to be fixed based on your valuable input.

Join us, play, have fun, and help us build the best Store Life Simulator possible!


Sincerely,

Insight Game Studio
