Day 1 Patch Notes – First Update Released!

Welcome to Day 1! Thank you all for jumping into the early version of the game — your feedback has been incredible, and we’ve worked quickly to deliver a solid first patch addressing both immediate bugs and improving your gameplay experience.

Localization & Text Fixes

• Resolved an issue where some texts would briefly show localization keys (e.g. game.current_price) before being correctly translated. This should no longer occur when opening UI panels.

• Fixed font fallback issues on Chinese, Japanese, and Cyrillic characters that caused incorrect formatting or default fonts to appear.

Customer AI Loop Improvements

• Overhauled customer pathfinding and behavior logic to reduce idle crowding in front of shelves and exits.

• Optimized spawn/despawn logic to ensure smoother traffic flow during peak hours.

• Customers now react more appropriately to pricing changes, stock levels, and display quality — creating a more immersive and strategic economy loop.

UI & Gameplay Enhancements

• Added transition delay handling to ensure all panels (like price editing screens) load with proper data and font before displaying.

Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue where hired staff would stop working after a game reload.

• Inspector the cat now reliably performs (lazy) tasks without getting stuck in doorways or boxes.

• Fixed random crashes caused by UI panels being activated out of order.

• Adjusted store level unlocks to match intended design progression.

• Cleaned up several debug logs that were unintentionally left active in the release build.

Performance & Stability

• Reduced unnecessary memory usage on repeated UI activations.

Cat. There is a Cat, hire him.
