Dev blog – The Bazaar #1

Here's the first devblog for the bazaar area, where we've mainly focused on working on the exterior. We also just released a smaller update, mainly with bug fixes, but also something new.

Here's a brief introduction to the locations that will be part of the bazaar:

The bazaar can be divided into three areas: the central district with fancier buildings, the slums with makeshift structures, and the industrial zone.

[h2]Bazaar Center[/h2]

The center of the bazaar is a bustling, area free of mushrooms, even attracting the occasional tourist. It offers a variety of services, including a movie theater, spa, internet cafe, jewelry store, casino, and much more.





[h2]Slums[/h2]

Adjacent to the bazaar center, the slums are home to mushroom addicts, the poor, and those who have lost everything gambling in the casino.





[h2]Industrial Area[/h2]

The industrial district sits next to the Osmo Olut brewery. This is where ore from the mines is processed into goods, some of which are even sold beyond Obenseuer to generate income. The famous Club Bassment is also located here, drawing visitors looking for entertainment.



[h2]Update March 26th 2025 (Version 0.4.04)[/h2]
