Research / Tech Tree

You can now research new items! This is implemented to change the flow of the game and to add difficulty. In here you can unlock anything from new  shelves and new products. As of right now there are a couple of items to unlock. Before you can start the game, you will need to unlock a couple of items. This can be read in the quickstart guide.

Updated UI

The UI has had some small improvements. Things look more consistent now over all screens. Also, the Management Screen has been updated with a Home screen. In here you can open your store. As last, Cash Registers have their own details screen now.  In here you can hire an employee to open the register.

Major Product Overhaul

All products got updated! Now there are categories with items in them. As of right now only GPU's and CPU's are implemented, but more are coming every update! They still have a basic look, but this will be fixed up before Early Access.

Help

We've added a help screen, for help. Over here you can find a quickstart guide to help you get started, with more guides coming later. The quickstart will be updated reguraly, so don't forget to check it every other update!

That's it for now, See you on launch!
