We are don't plan to make an update today, but we do. Also don't plan to write announce for it, but decide better to do it rather not. Because of implemented 2 major features for our game.
First one is the feature, which help you to manage your store updates. So from now you can select what to update: stock or quality. If you will upgrade stock, then your store will can to sell more products. But if you will upgrade quality, then your products will cost more money. So you are decide to sell more cheap products like IKEA or less expensive products like Microsoft.
The other one is a speed options. So you can to manage game speed. Added 3 speed options, think to add 1 more: super fast, which will increase speed by 4. Please share in comments with us: do u need this?
Few weeks wasn’t be any news from us, but we are here with a new announce and with a list of new features, which we added over this weeks. We are don’t write announces every week, but this is don’t mean that we are don’t work over the game. And make it better every day. Few times per a week we are trying to publish updates, sometimes minor, sometimes major.
We are working not only over the cosmetics updates, but over the functional also. More details you will find below. Also we are spent a lot of time over the port to Linux, but still nothing can to show, except the blue screen on Ubuntu. Hope soon we will do it and will enjoy our game on Linux. If somebody want to help us with port, then feel free to contact with us.
Big news: we are modify money collect. From this time you shouldn’t to click for take the money. When the time is over, then the money will collect automatically, but will collect only the half. For example you have 1000. If you collect this 1000 using button, then you will receive 1000. But if you are will wait automatic collect, then you are will receive only 500.
Also we are collect feedback from our players, which share with us their thoughts. We are open to discussion and read all your proposals and posts. Not only via email and social networks, but also the steam discussions and you reviews also. Especially we are like positive reviews :)
Also we are disappoint the players, which wait Win 7, 32 bit version of our game. We are don’t receive the clear answer from Unity. Only the thing that they will check this problem and if something will find< then will contact with us.
Change notes:
Scaffolds green box shown all the time. Under the built stores also.
From now you can build only 2 elevators per a floor. Also we are added info about this in help tips. And shown warning in the right bottom corner if you are trying to build 3rd elevator.
Steam cloud saves added.
Clouds move under the buildings.
We are rebuild help page. So from now it looks like a tips page. One tip, one page, one solution.
Player found the bug: “Once Supermarket is purchased when I want to buy sushi bar now I have 2 supermarkets.” http://imgur.com/a/bGKG5 http://imgur.com/a/GQpH3 Fixed
From now in the night has a chance, that your Mall will be robbed. This is the first step before we will add guards and improve robbery mechanic.
Rebuild mechanic for generate regular customer. A bit improved formula.
Added notifications about regular customers, but decide to remove it, because it’s shown a lot of time. Will rebuild it and back.

From now you can navigate over the mall, using arrows on keyboard.
Fixed the bug about max Mall sales. from now it’s shown correctly.
Added 400 achievements. That was a cruel and hard task for us, because of this process is non automatic. And each achievement we are add into steam manually by hand, which cost too much time for us.
Our first week in steam has gone. Start was not perfect as we are expect, because of bugs, but in common everything is going fine. I want to say thank you to everyone who has help us to catch part of the bugs and share with us thoughts about new features. We really appreciate it and part of this features we will add in the near future into our game.
Below is a list of fixes and improvements. But we should note that we miss a critical bug with money reports, which already fixed, but you are will need to start from scratch. We recommend this to you, because of we are don’t want that you are will keep to play with bugs.
We also fix a little improvements balance, please share with us how quickly you reach the maximum level of the shopping center.
Also we are working right now over new shops with wife and animation, which show how the store close. As well as the animation of cashiers. There are a couple of ideas with cashiers which we would like to implement in the game, but for now everything depends on the time frames and the urgency of other tasks.
And one more thing, which we glad to share with you. We start to add Achievements. It takes too much time for trivial things, especially for saving in steam api. But about a hundred already done and will be add more.
And sadly announce that we have temporarily remove the support for 32/64 bit versions of Windows 7, because the game is broken in this OS from startup. At the moment, we are in discuss about this problem with Unity to identify why this is happening.
Patch note:

At last the day has come and we are releasing our game on steam! It was a long journey from demo to the full version, but we have made it. The full release does not mean that we are abandoning our game and will start to count the money from it. It means we are finally getting to share the game on which we have worked for the past half a year.
We are will continue improving it and adding new features, because we still want to add more functionality (the features list you can find in bottom). But please keep in mind that this is a promise and we are will add it as soon as we can and if you have bought the game, then you have bought it in its current form and we thank you.
