Hey Rusty! So happy to see you back. I was out getting a gift for my friend and wasn't able to catch the premiere. Love seeing your vod 💕
Glad to have a Rusty video again! My Tuesday just got better!
I'd love to play one of these games (we've seen quite a few now), but I find them all too hand-holdy and too simplistic without any management challenge. I think they should totally remove all this level stuff, and let the player choose when they want to expand, when they want to get whatever employees, when they want to get new products. Leave it totally open. That would actually ADD gameplay and challenge by giving the player options and choices.
For example, expand too early and the rent becomes more difficult to manage. Get employees too early and you can't make a profit. Choose the product you can afford to stock, and if you make delivery quite expensive, then the player will have to choose very carefully what they stock. Start off with a loan with interest so that the player has to decide whether it's worth paying back some of the loan or expanding at any given poiint.
Then to continue to add to that challenge, add stuff like environment scores that either increase or decrease custom, so that stuff like untidynesses such as leaving boxes lying around decreases environment, music increases environment. Add stuff like how long customers are prepared to wait at the til for customer service before they get grumpy and don't return for a while, add stuff like if you don't have something stocked customers will actually interrupt you at the register to ask about the item which takes time out of your duties, add stuff like if there isn't enough dressing rooms, customers will just dump stuff on the ground and leave a mess to hang back up, which also affects environment scores and customer numbers.
Another addition that's screaming to be added into a clothing game is seasons! Fashion changes with seasons, so you start with summer clothing towards the end of spring etc, and clothing would need to changed to accommodate the seasons, with sales at the end of the season to get rid of clothes before they can't be sold any longer (and perhaps would be difficult to sell next year either, because nobody will buy last years fashions, or at least you'd have to sell them at a loss). And this would also challenge your storage - you'd either have to have increased storage if you don't sell or not be able to buy in next season's stock due to lack of space. This would add breadth and challenge to the game.
At the moment this game, and all the other retail games I've seen, are just all impossible-to-lose, rigid-procedure-to-level-up games - do this, then do that, than do that with no challenge or choices other than where to put shelves/racks. And that's pretty boring...
I think there should be an option to whether you follow the planned expansions or not.
I'm pretty sure there was an update when I was playing the prologue where you can access your last box in the trash in case you accidentally the throw away product.
I'll have to check that out the next time that I throw away a non-empty box, which will probably happen sooner than later. 🤪
Hi. I just started and I'm enjoying the game, I still don't know how to empty the shelves.
The achievements sound way too easy, i heard like 4 in the first 5 minutes
Yeah, most of them are pretty simple. They only have nine available so far and we got seven of them.
