Crime Syndicate 0.1.2.6b - Shop Update

Intro

This is a regular update that focuses primarily on the shop system. I have also worked on some quality of life features that have made their way through into this update.

How is development?

Development is still continuing quite steady, I have been working on this game since 2016 and it has come a long way. I am also working on other game projects that are taking more of my time, if you're interested please check out Action 69!

This update fixes a lot of the core issues associated with the shop menu.

There are still a few things that I am unhappy with that I want to change in future updates as well as work on ironing out the bugs that are still on my Trello Board.

Properties Management is a big system that I like to expand upon; there will be a hierarchy of employees with each employee having a variety of base stats. Including; happiness, efficiency, star rating etc. Different employee roles will be a thing as well, from an Interior Artist, to a Manager.

What does the future hold?

I'm aiming to release this game by the end of the year, but there is a metric ton of content and expansions that I plan to implement into this game afterwards, and it's just a matter of when and not if. What do you guys think of this release window?
