Dev Diary #1 🏚️ Shop Expansion & More!

Hey everyone! We’ve been hard at work bringing some big improvements to the game, and we’re excited to share them with you. This update adds new ways to customize your shop, expands the city, and even introduces a familiar face who might stop by for a little help. [b]There’s a lot to cover, so let’s jump right in![/b] [h1]👴🏼Homeless NPCs[/h1] A homeless man will knock on your shop’s window, asking for help. You can give him some money, politely refuse, or turn him away. If you decide to help, he’ll return the next day with a small gift. Not worth much, but what did you expect? Keep an eye out, he might visit again. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44897619/86611d9729b249a7e19eb2b4ec773ad1e97b6f55.gif[/img] [h1]🎨Store Upgrades & Customization[/h1] Time to make your shop truly yours!
