I am also planning to make the third shop expansion upstairs, but i am looking at potential ways for it to be useful
Big counters are for crazy orders, crazy bargains, and crazy requests (like furniture junk)
hmm idk, i donât think that would change the gameplay much/adds fun to the game
It would add more chaos and craziness? Also check my post I added more
yeah i got a few furnitures i want to add in the next next update:
walkspeed âŚthing?(im working on the name): make the player move faster when in a range
attracter attract a specific junk defined, like a magnet
repeller repel a specific junk defined
idk about rarity, I donât want the player flooding the map for a single piece of rare junk, i am planning to add more junk though, like:
explosive barrel:
barrel but when a bomb/barrel explode near it it explodes too
magnet: attract metal⌠things? blue crate, barrel, tire, etc
OMG. ITZ THE KID VERZIONZ OF PB&J :0 THIS GIVES ME AN IDEA. After every work day you experience a cutscene of their life as kids. Why they wanted to grow up to work at your shop. Once completing the lore. You get a badge.
Hmm intresting, maybe ill hint some lore, this gotta be on the when-the-game-is-done list though
lol i would go insane after having a cutscene after everyday
lol yeah, maybe not everyday but like a optional thing
ITS DEVLOG WEDNESDAY
happy (late) new year (RIP santa hat )
anyways, lets get started:
this week i added three main things:
1st: VIP customers:
customers who give double the money and a whole star, they also take away a star if patience meter runs out, so be careful!
2nd: Totems
there are now three totems in the game, speed totem, (gives speed) Junk attracter (pulls a specific type of junk) Junk repeller (same thing but repels)
all can be used in contraptions and stuff
3rd: Gears
there are only one gear in the game currently, Junk Finder, you can pick a type of junk for it to find, and you will see it, even if itâs under other junk!
these gears costs points. points are rescieved when you reach diamond tier in a quest
Honorable mentions: there is now a tutorial, easier for new players to understand
less honorable mentions: I remade all the badges to have a cool border
k thats all see you next wednesday
Devlog wednesday
this week is mainly on bugs and tweaks
I tweaked the attract and repel totems, before, their power level seems to be the same, changed that
also tweaked VIP star giving, now gives 0.5 and takes away 0.5, 1 star was too OP
new quest: VIP, VIP customers now give 1.5x money, but could be increased by the quest up to 2x
see ya next wednesday
oops forgot ill post it tommorow i swear
then * tomorrow comes *
character limit
it is wednesday (thursday?!?!) my dudes
added conveyors and ramp conveyors
i made a terrible sorter in the video but you get the idea of what you could do with it
you should add like a sandbox mode, where there is infinite money and no time so you can just like experiment with the stuff.
hello everyone
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the discontinuation of the game.
first of all, why? (dw its not you guys that caused it)
there are many reasons, but there are two main ones include
lack of motivation
yep, yall all heard of this one, I have a bad habit of not finishing games I started, sometimes leaving it bug ridden and unplayable, however, I personally think the game is at a good place for it to end (13 is probably a bad number to end on lol). Why do I not finish them? Well, I am growing more and more tired of the game, a bug is patched, and 20 more come out, and I simply do not have the motivation to fix it, so it becomes more and more of a chore I suppose.
Goals
We must talk about the goal of developing the game. The game was never for profit nor any personal gains, just for me to learn. I thought of it as a challange of remaking and improving the original game (Little Shop Of Junk). And I think I did a good job at that, I added all original aspects of the game and improved on them, and I am very proud of all the things I achieved and the hardships I overcame. However, I think it is simply time to move on, since I am basically chasing an endless goal.
Q&A
what does this mean for the game?
As previousily mentioned, the game is discontinued. This does not mean I will never touch it again for the rest of my life, but just for future me to maybe pick up along the way.
will you be working on a new game?
yes, in the near future. I have already found a game I would like to try remake, so stay tuned for a new devlog from me.
did any of us cause it?
duh, yall make me quit! (joke)
jokes aside, no. Every one of you reading has been incredibly supportive, kind and amazing to talk to, I am glad I have people that care about what I do.
lmk if you have any more questions regarding the game and/or myself
anyway, thank you for reading, as I said, I am thankful for everyone one of you for being supportive and following my journey.
Thank you and goodbye.
Lol I was just about to post here giving you some ideas because you seemed out of steam. Totally get it. I do it all the time too. Everyone does. I got plenty of good unique game ideas but am too busy to make them. Goodbye Junk Shop Simulator it was fun playing!
