HOTFIX 1.0.2

Hi!

First of all, we want to apologize for the less-than-smooth launch.

We expected the release to go much more smoothly, but some players ran into bugs, co-op issues, and balance problems. We messed up, but we’re already actively going through your feedback and trying to fix everything as quickly as possible.

Thank you to everyone who leaves reviews and reports issues — it genuinely helps us find and fix them faster.

Patch 1.0.2

In this update, we:

  • fixed a freeze that could occur if two players picked up the same box at the same time;
  • adjusted the balance based on your feedback
  • reduced the amount of trash and the number of vandals and thieves
  • added an FOV setting
  • the tool wheel now opens by holding the button
  • updated the visuals of upgraded boosters in the Secret Shop
  • fixed quests — puddles should no longer appear before you get the mop
  • made several smaller fixes and improvements

As a small apology for the launch issues, we’ve also added a free poster. It’s already available in the Decor section.

These are only the first fixes. We’re continuing to work through bugs, read your feedback, and prepare the next updates.

More patches are already in the works.

Thank you for playing Anime Shop Simulator ❤️

P.S. Sorry again about the survey link. That’s what happens when you’re not paying enough attention. I didn’t even get this many bad grades at school =)
