Factory Outlet Simulator: Prologue news & patch notes

Hellooo everyone, <3 Your developer shares his last surprise before release. Now you can color freely, add any text you want and add as many images as you want while designing. Mug, t-shirt, bag, phone case, gaming headset, smartwatch, perfume, baseball cap... They are all waiting for your designs! On July 15, 2024 at 18 UTC! Don't forget to add the Early Access version to your wishlist to be notified when it's released! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/7a386197656b5ececfb8715fe42b963e826c1182.gif

Hellooo everyone, Thank you very much for the support you have given me so far. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support since the release of our Prologue version and for embracing our game. I have been honest with you and tried to share everything I have prepared with you. Today I actually want to share a meaningful devlog for the last time before Release. We are 10 days away from the release date. If you haven't added it to your wishlist, don't forget to add it to your wishlist. And if you haven't joined our discord server yet, join us and let's chat on Discord :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/4a2a669711198f2a3debb57e6ef31b65415e01dc.png And I want to collect most of the features added to the game in our early access version in this devlog. So let your developer start the pre-release devlog. I love you guys very much. NEW FEATURES ADDED TO THE GAME FOR THE EARLY ACCESS VERSION Stock Exchange App In this stock market application, we will be able to buy shares of rival companies and sell them when they are valued. Thus, we will be able to create additional income for ourselves. There will be a news section about other companies and we will be able to make predictions accordingly. Be careful, if the share value drops to 0, we can lose all our money :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/c417395ccb5906968de5cc0feef3b40b18e2caac.png Machine Breakdown and Repair Mechanics Our machines will break down depending on our level. And we will need to repair them. (Don't worry, it's really a very small sequence, I don't want to tire you out) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/a2bd0d948c20fdc6f9292511a6f4cd39671a5d4b.gif Forklift and Pallet If we have multiple stocks, we can now place them on the pallet to be able to transport them. And with the forklift we can move them around the factory. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/e8e33962dc2fc444e807919cceb7244fdd8d5570.gif Mechanic and Factory Worker The mechanic will fix the machines for us. The factory worker will take the newly produced products from the machines and place them on pallets or storage racks if we have them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/aca915f7a0b1a6818f9cd150eb1485c176f99d28.gif Customer Comments Customers will now comment on what we do and how we do it. They may be uncomfortable with the price or they may be uncomfortable with the lack of a dressing room. Sometimes they may even comment on the decoration in an annoying way :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/a29de57e686cdeda6aceb94779f0860ffa8bd7b3.png Wholesale from the Airport We will no longer send our products all over the world only by freighter. Orders for delivery by plane will also come. We will have an extra delivery time. If we don't meet the deadline, our profits will be halved. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/95af6d8712aff13ec0e861bd53f0e3a7eccd969b.png Outlet Sign Everywhere in the world there are huge signs at the entrance of outlet stores and there are brand advertisements there. We will be able to select the brands we want to stand out on this huge signboard and increase our advertising capacity. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/e0538196ed716b0ee6d3e58013551d050c3e6bc8.png Cashier Many people can't keep up with other work after a while because they are busy with the money in the cash register. We will be able to hire cashiers for this. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/f96d9d78fba347eabf17457344b7da1e19de8a76.png Credit card We kept up with the modern world and added the credit card option to the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/48b173cbafd1e98a1ab1019cef625cf268486101.png Loan system We can run out of cash at critical points in the game and we added a loan system. Don't worry, it won't tire you out, it will just support you in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/b9c47c0d505c7765701bcd4b39c2e26edb4916d5.png Theft, Security Gates and CCTV Now some customers will secretly steal a product and try to escape, and we can catch them and get our money back. On the factory side, when we are busy, we can follow them through a security camera. Or we can put a security gate on the door and activate the alarm system. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/36c53ea9375194b7cbcdcaf1cc2cf05da19f2bfd.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/96b451ec5f8d8520fc47eb57b794f489e42fd304.png Panel Van (Bigger Truck) & Automatic Placement We no longer have to deal with placing our products in the truck one by one. We will be able to place them automatically like wholesale. And as an extra we will be able to buy a bigger Panel Van vehicle :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/d1fe4d1ec34e281105d77ff13de9b065a2d073b4.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/8c2a2859f78229fdbe11e85d66b9ac32a7cb1d7d.gif New Designable Products We will now be able to design and sell Perfume, Bags, Gaming headsets, Hats and Smartwatch in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/a19a5abea1a0ee7c7118b26ee4b268d0fa087d84.png New Entrance Signage System I realize that the old system looked very bad and I changed it completely. 3D header and signage were added. As an extra we will be able to change the spotlight color. :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/5d0e8827b03a65135813bfbb1efddbc00d03c6ef.png Store Customization We will now be able to completely change the floor and walls of our store. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/a7125c0f1f7ac0cf634d6828e32eb97aee1386d6.gif Extra new Features -Ability to give customers more or less money -Vehicle mechanics completely changed. -Character controller completely changed. -Customer coins have become more realistic. -We will be able to add input when buying raw materials. -Fixed black screen issue in low quality. -Store ceiling was too low. It is now more realistic. -production cost has been removed (raw materials are more expensive) -background music added. -purchased items can be resold. -The in-car camera has been made animated. -Car camera fixed. -New shelves and items added -Discount cancel option added. -New raw materials added. -Level unlock system added. -Day cycle speed has become changeable. -Localization has been improved. (I am very grateful to all our friends who helped). -Steam Cloud integration -Steam Stats -Steam Achievements And too many bug fixes and improvements to count... I hope you like the new version of the game. And with your support, we can make Factory Outlet Simulator even better. It will be released on July 15th. And we will continue to improve it together <3

Greetings to everybody! <3 We are very close to our release date and your developer is very excited! I'm doing my best to make our early access release almost as good as a full release, and I hope it will be worth the wait! : I'm continuing level design, bug fixing, economy balancing, and I've added store customization. The theme is something many of our players like, but everyone's style is different. Tell me what your style is! Do you prefer a luxury store? Or do you prefer an underground store? I hope you will like it. Your developer loves you and keeps on working! <3 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/a7125c0f1f7ac0cf634d6828e32eb97aee1386d6.gif

Helloooo everyone, Today I improved the customization options for our store and factory signage. And I know the image in the prologue version was very annoying. The color tones and look felt very cheap. Now we can adjust the font size to our liking. There will be many new features like light color, light brightness, outer frame color, inner background color, text color. I need your advice for this customization screen, which camera angle do you think is more beautiful? Or if there is an angle you think would be better, you can recommend :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/5d0e8827b03a65135813bfbb1efddbc00d03c6ef.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/81431899d1137a082a3ffb415c2dce057c254307.png In addition to these; -Now we will be able to give customers more or less money. -I turned off the interaction with other objects while interacting with the cash register. -I seriously improved the vehicle mechanics. -Player movement has been significantly improved and there is no more unnecessary flying and most importantly, it's not nauseating (I did it from scratch) -Customers are paying more realistic prices. - When buying raw materials, we don't increase them by clicking on the button one by one, in addition, I added keyboard input there. -I activated driver support in low quality settings (computer wouldn't turn on, I apologize). -The store ceiling was too low. We received a lot of feedback on this and now we have a more spacious environment. -Cost of production is gone (but the game is more difficult now) -I'm continuing many bug fixes and improvements like these. Level design will be a lot of fun. :)

Hello everyone! I apologize for not posting devlogs for a few days. During this time your developer tried to finish the mechanics he promised. I haven't been able to post devlogs because I don't have any tangible visuals to share at the moment, but I wanted to keep you updated. I'm currently doing bug fixes and improvements, plus I'm spending most of my time on level design and balancing the game economy. Thank you for your understanding. I hope it will be worth the wait, I love all of you. <3

Helloooo everyone, Your developer has improved his modeling skills. And he's here to introduce the new products we'll be adding to the game in early access. Now we will be able to design and sell many new items on the shelves. I hope you will like them. -Socks (I love socks with designs) 🧦 -Bag (the largest product coming off the production line) 👜 -Player headset (I wish we could design our own headphones in real life) 👂 -Ripple Watch (I don't want to be copyrighted.) ⌚ -Fitted Cap (For a game released in July, you can't do without a fitted cap) 🧢 -Wallet (If big brands can change the font and write their own names on the same wallet model, so can we) 👛 -Perfume (Yes, it will be a bit strange to produce it on a machine. But it's 2024 and you never know where technology will lead). 🌬️ I continue to develop the game and can't wait to share the best of our early access release with you ❤️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/a19a5abea1a0ee7c7118b26ee4b268d0fa087d84.png

Hellooo everyone, Our early access preparations continue. We promised new products and I am working on it. We are adding many surprise designable products. Since we don't have a 3D Artist, I modeled these shelves for our new products. (I hope it doesn't look like a developer job. :D ) I hope you will like it. I will be sharing images of our products soon. <3 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/c96d0e9f5efd7c88afb5d0cdb059920812146871.png

Hellooo everyone, My devlog content today is a bit different. The features we promised to add to the game are almost finished (bug fixes and improvements will continue). I want to do my best for you and I have taken some notes that can improve the gameplay experience and started working on them. I want to share them first; -Local currency settings -Wholesale deadline -Stock number input and display when purchasing -Freedom of in-car camera -Drivecam improvement -Head Bob settings -FOV settings -Y-axis boost on camera -Improvement of the store door and glass (Some clean glass :) ) -Background music option -Item selling -FPS Controller improvement (Unfortunately we won't be able to jump on trees) -New Shelves -New lighting options -Price Tag UI/UX improvements In addition to these, I will continue to make as many preparations as I can. Please don't forget to give me your feedback. And remember that we are aware that negative criticism moves our game forward. Hopefully we will release a full version worthy of your attention. <3

Hello everyone, Today I added the achievements to the full version of the game, one of the most requested things, I hope you like it (I'm not a graphic designer but I made a design for you). <3 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/3c33ac246a4afbbf20f3766e150afb6a16bfd34c.png

Hellooo everyone, Your developer is back and preparing for the full release. I added the most requested thing: Bigger car, bigger truck or bigger transporter. Now we will be able to buy a Panel Van. It has almost twice the capacity. It has 3 doors. It's like an airplane (I'm pretending to be a car dealer). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/d1fe4d1ec34e281105d77ff13de9b065a2d073b4.gif And you will no longer have anxiety attacks. We will be able to automatically place our boxes in the truck and Panel Van.(I'm pretending to be a game developer here.) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/8c2a2859f78229fdbe11e85d66b9ac32a7cb1d7d.gif Today at 19:00 UTC, we'll be streaming live at Next Fest. Let's have a chat. You can give your feedback. You can ask what you are curious about.

Your developer continues to work on the full release. One of the most requested mechanics of the game was theft. People who enter the store like normal customers can suddenly steal your product and try to escape. It's up to you to catch him. Either follow them through the security camera or place a security gate at the door. Be careful, every customer can be a thief :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/36c53ea9375194b7cbcdcaf1cc2cf05da19f2bfd.gif

Greetings to everyone, We continue to prepare the mechanics we promised for the full release. Today I've added a thief. We'll be able to recognize a thief by the way he walks. We'll be able to track him through the security camera. And if you buy a security gate, the alarm system will be activated in case of theft. We will be able to get our money back from the thief we catch. I hope you like it. :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/ff2afa36466ff3f4c9497b9b05acfdc879bcf6da.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/96b451ec5f8d8520fc47eb57b794f489e42fd304.png

Loan and bank system is a must when running a factory. Today I worked on a loan system and added the bank app for the full version. This will make things easier, but the repayments will be higher. And we will be able to withdraw only once from each type of loan. Hope you like it :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/b9c47c0d505c7765701bcd4b39c2e26edb4916d5.png

The credit card option was one of the most requested mechanics. I added this mechanic today. Cash and credit card option will be active in the full version. I hope you like it. :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/13cf01b7ebb6859006f0d17bf8991df202b3488d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/48b173cbafd1e98a1ab1019cef625cf268486101.png

I keep working on the full version... :) Cashiers are one of the most requested features in this game and a mechanic that speeds things up a lot. Now they will help us on the shop side while we focus on the factory side. If they can't keep up with the number of customers, we will be able to purchase additional cash registers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/f96d9d78fba347eabf17457344b7da1e19de8a76.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/233ef8b12a95fbf37c46091a1e1ab74acbfb0ca8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/8fa24919064b153a0d700362699ffd89b640911e.png

Today I worked on advertising and I thought that if we are an outlet owner we should put this sign. In this sign we will be able to highlight the 5 licenses we want. And even if the price of these 5 licenses is high, it will attract more customers. :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/e0538196ed716b0ee6d3e58013551d050c3e6bc8.png

Hi, our early access work continues. Today we worked on the airport zone. In the full release, orders will change by type and we will be able to deliver higher capacity wholesale orders from the airport. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/95af6d8712aff13ec0e861bd53f0e3a7eccd969b.png

Helloo, Customer reviews have been added for the full version of our game. Now you need to pay more attention to the quality and the items you buy for your business. Attention!!! Customers might get annoyed if the prices are high or they can't find a fitting room! Many situations like this are now affecting customers :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/a29de57e686cdeda6aceb94779f0860ffa8bd7b3.png

We prepared the mechanic and the factory worker. We added a forklift. Now the transportation inside the factory is faster. :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/aca915f7a0b1a6818f9cd150eb1485c176f99d28.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45014966/e8e33962dc2fc444e807919cceb7244fdd8d5570.gif
