We are still working on shopkeeping! These modes are just a way for interns to contribute to our game in a fun way and it allows us to stress test the game better.
We're mostly here with a few more bugfixes. Hang in there! And thank you, /r/lowendpcgaming gamers for helping us test on a variety of low end machines. More optimizations will be on the way.
