- Happy 420, again! - 20 April 2025
Another 420, another reminder that no matter how hard you try, life will still kick you in the dick and charge you 5000 baht for the privilege. Speaking of getting kicked in the dick... Highland has been a fucking nightmare. We’ve built it, scrapped it, rebuilt it, and then watched it collapse harder than Dan's knockoff dildo at a ladyboy cabaret. At this point, working on Highland feels like paying for a happy ending and realizing halfway through you’re just getting mugged — and you're too tired to care. So what's the point? As always, there is none but Highland’s still coming — eventually ːws_damanː Probably this year. Maybe next. Time isn’t real anyway when you’re this high and shit's this broken. Until then, Weed Shop 3 is on sale — because at least it's a game ːws_damanː Happy 420! Smoke something strong, hug your dealer, and pray for us ːws_peaceː We’re too deep in this shitshow t…
- Let's Get Farming! - 3 May 2024
ːws_peaceːWhat's up, guys?ːws_peaceː With so much stuff going on these days, we totally forgot that we were doing the Steam Farming Fest thing ːws_damanː Weed Shop 3 is 30% off whatever it usually is in your neck of the woods for the duration of the Fest!

And in some unrelated news, our Weed Shop 4 page is finally live on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2631140/Weed_Shop_4_Highland/

Happy 420 Everyone! Happy 420! May your day be filled with good vibes, great company, and even greater snacks. Here’s to a laid-back celebration surrounded by laughter, relaxation, and plenty of your favorite green. Enjoy lighting up the moments that make today special. Cheers to high spirits and chill times! The News Thank you, Chat GPT! We know that came from the heart... now onto the news! There is none ːws_damanː We were planning on announcing our new project on this day of days but, as always, came in a day late, a bud short. For reasons unknown, both Steam and Epic store listings are still stuck waiting for approval. Who knew self-publishing games was this hard? Actually we did, so we started the process last month, and here we are on 420 once again with nothing to show for... But you know what they say when life hands you lemons... you eat those shits coz your body needs vitamin…
- Huge News! - 1 April 2024
What's up, guys! It's been a minute since our last community post, so it's about time to fill you in on what we've been up to... Some pretty sick shit tbh ːws_damanː We've seen your comments asking for a new online Weed Shop game and it's about time to deliver one! So we've been working day and night on an always-online single-player game where you get to manage your own shop but instead of weed you'll be selling bread 'n shit. Coz... everybody loves bread, and bread is safe and inoffensive according to sweet baby... unlike drugs, dildos, and men in diapers. So without further ado, we'd like to present the first trailer for our brand-new game - ShopU. Enjoy! Don't forget to wishlist the game and subscribe to our OF ːws_damanː

- Happy 4th of July! - 4 July 2023
What's up, guys? It's time to dust off that Freedom Blaster and celebrate the 4th of July Weed Shop style by trying to complete nonsensical seasonal tasks! Have a good one, peace! We've been doing this for a while now and can pretty much predict the way this announcement is going to go down... so here's a quick FAQ compiled by ChatGPT and Jeff ːws_damanː Frequently Asked Questions ːws_cornː WTF a seasonal event? ːws_damanː It's a limited-time event featuring ways to boost your XP & cash flow, free loot, and one-of-a-kind rewards. ːws_cornː How long does it last? ːws_damanː 7 days ːws_cornː How do I start the event? ːws_damanː As long as you're lvl 10 (or above), running the game on Potato quality settings (or above), and have Seasonal Events toggled on in Sandbox Settings, the event will start as soon as you load in. ːws_cornː So what's up with all the balloons? ːws_damanː Check Mission…

What's up, guys? We heard you complaining about the game being too grindy and slow... So guess what, we're making it a little easier today! So little easier, it's crazyːws_damanː SANDBOX STUFF ːws_peaceː We ditched the old generic game difficulty settings and introduced a customizable sandbox mode. ːws_peaceː The sandbox settings will allow you to fine-tune the game experience to better suit your wants and needs. ːws_peaceː The sandbox settings screen can be accessed via the options menu after loading into your save, and the settings will only be applied to that specific save. ːws_peaceː The basic sandbox mode is available from the start while players with an 80% or higher achievement completion rate will also unlock the extended sandbox mode. ːws_peaceː In the future, you'll also be able to unlock the extended mode by completing the endgame achievement. But we're not quite there just y…
- The Allen Update Update - 15 May 2023
What's up, guys? For the last two weeks, we've been working on expanding the Allen content and had to chill with the daily patches until all the new mechanics were ready.... and they finally are... Well, sort of ːws_damanː Since there's been a lot of "pics or it didn't happen" going around since our last post, we'll be going over every minor change like it's a major one ːws_damanː BTW, all of it is late-game content that kicks in at level 69 ːws_peaceː SOUTH ALLEN GALLERIA ːws_peaceː Added new Allen Merch to the Seed Bank. ːws_peaceː Expanded Pimps & Grows inventory, which now includes: Allen Displays - Sell merch on the rooftop Advanced & Pro Counters - Hold merch and process Danja orders automatically.

- Patch Notes, Yay! - 25 April 2023
What's up, guys? So while we prefer not to post patch notes until we got something substantial to share, a lot of you've been asking for more info on the latest updates, so here's what's new since 4.20: BUGFIXES ːws_peaceː We hit up our local Rogaine supplier and addressed the customers' alopecia issues. ːws_peaceː Redid the networking logic for the Twitcher integration. ːws_peaceː Resolved multiple issues causing crashes on lower-end rigs. ːws_peaceː Re-synced the elevator speed to your current high level. ːws_peaceː Fixed busted Dxxber deliveries and added a few more strain types to order requests. ːws_peaceː Sorted out weed & cash value display issues on the main HUD and the Personal Digital Ass.

- The 420 Update II - 20 April 2023
Happy 420 Everyone! As is the tradition at the Weed Games basement, due to bullshit excuses nobody really gives a crap about, the 420 content update is once again looking kinda rough. But hey, at least the game didn't get delisted from Steam for over 8 hours like last year, so it's still a pretty Happy 420 overall! ːws_damanː New Content! The new content drop is mostly focused on the late-game progression and will be fleshed out even more in the upcoming weeks. Since we were running short on time, we had to make some hard choices like do we drop the content as is on 4/20 or spend more time polishing it and miss our self-imposed deadline. And we went with "Yes!" The Plan! We'll be enabling more stuff in the upcoming days and weeks, basically as soon as we're pretty sure it's not gonna break the game completely. And now that the core content is out in the wild, we'll be pushing out patche…
- The Final Patch - 14 January 2023
Development Update ːws_peaceː As most of you already know, we've been promising a major content update for a while now, however, sadly this ain't it. Instead, we've been working on fixing all the event-related bugs, a performance regression introduced with the Danksgiving Update, the character controller and NPC AI issues, and finally the fucking wiggly arms. Character Controller Improvements ːws_peaceː After upgrading the character controller to sync values over the network we saw a huge hit in performance even when playing offline. It was one of the main reasons the Danksgiving & Kushmas Events had such abysmal FPS, even in WS3 standards ːws_damanː ːws_peaceː Anyway, we've fixed most of the logic responsible for sudden frame drops, made the character controller move at a constant speed regardless of FPS, and added fallback movement logic to prevent slowmo locomotion at sub-30 FPS. Per…
- Merry Kushmas!! - 23 December 2022
Happy Holidaze Once Again! Ho ho ho, Merrrrry Kushmas everyone! Yeah,.. we're basically rehashing the same sh!t we did last year and hoping most of the new players won't notice ːws_damanː The Kushmas Event 2.0 Canna Claus has come to town and needs your help saving Kushmas... you know the drill. Are you going to be naughty or nice? The choice is yours unless you did Kushmas last year... In that case, you'll get to go the other route for your chance to collect the second half of Kushmas loot. Kushmas Town 0.2 If trying to yank dildos off the Kushmas tree while being groped by Ganja Bears is not your thing, then swing by your local dump site... ahem... Kushmas Town! It's not much and the nutcrackers are all busted but with a little bit of elbow grease, you'll have them on deez nuts in no time ːws_damanː Into 2023 All the cringe puns and stupid jokes aside, we've been working on integratin…
- The Danksgiving Reboot - 24 November 2022
Happy Danksgiving Everyone! Due to circumstances beyond our control and some controller sensitivity issues that everyone's been complaining about we had to reboot last year's Danksgiving event ːws_danː The event will stay dank until one of the Mondays unless the half-baked Turkeyball starts crashing everyone's Weed Shops ːws_damanː And just a reminder, if you do grow tired of them chickens, you can always use the options menu to toggle the event off. Happy Turkey Day!
- Halloween Patch Notes - 31 October 2022
As is tradition, this year's Halloween event was once again full of glitches and exposed many shortcomings of the game's melee system. We've put out multiple patches since the start of the event trying to address these issues, however, some of them ended up breaking more stuff than they fixed ːws_danː Anyway, here's what's new since the launch of the event: ːws_potː Fixed all of the issues caused by dying in the wheelchair. ːws_potː Fixed the bug responsible for deleting skateboards from the inventory on death, ːws_potː Fixed the birds-eye view automatically unequipping items. ːws_potː Fixed the rift bat seed drops. ːws_potː Fixed the "ejector" seats at the movies. ːws_potː Fixed the melee weapon unequip issues causing duped items. ːws_potː Fixed the bug introduced in the last patch that made the melee hits not register. ːws_potː Improved the hitbox accuracy of all the melee weapons.
- Scream Fest Sale + Halloween Event - 25 October 2022
Scream Fest Sale Unlike overpromising and underdelivering, virtue signaling was never our thing, but this Scream Fest we're trying to do our part in fighting global inflation by having our very first Weed Shop 3 sale... since the launch sale... and the pre-launch sale ːws_damanː Not only will you be able to pick up a copy of Weed Shop 3 for 25% off, but the proceeds will also be used to put Stripper Dan through Elevator Repair School* ːws_danː Hell'o'Weed Season 2 We know the title was pretty cheesy a year ago, and even more so today, but our moms think it's cute so we're going with it again for Season 2, sue us... Please don't sue us ːws_damanː Anyways, the Halloween event is finally live and offers plenty of "opportunities" to make some extra cash, boost your xp, obtain some pretty sick rewards, or die. Got a Life? No worries! While we couldn't launch the event any sooner and we don't…
- A Weed Shop Halloween - Season 2 - 10 October 2022
The Upcoming Halloween Event Since some of you were caught off guard by our last seasonal event, we've decided to spill the beans on what's coming later this month. Our In-game Halloween event will kick off a week early and run all the way through Halloween. It's Hell'o'Weed Season 2 This year's event will pick up where Season 1 left off with even spookier creatures, seasonal tasks, special rewards, and plenty of chances to substantially boost your XP and cash flow by selling seasonal strains and merch. And if you weren't around for Season 1 or couldn't finish it in time, you'll have the chance to play through the Season 1 tasks and earn all of the last year's rewards before moving on to Season 2. When Hell'o'Weed? The event will run from Oct 25 through Nov 1 and will no longer be tied to game difficulty setting. We've added a Seasonal Events toggle to the game settings menu which will…
- "F" For Effort - 29 September 2022
What's up guys! It's kinda weird trying to do patch notes after almost a two-month hiatus but, since some of you've been asking, it's only going to get weirder ːws_damanː So while working on the new content update we kept running into increasingly severe performance issues so we decided it was time for another round of optimizations. We pressed the magical "Optimize" button which bumped the FPS up to 140+, got all the hoes on the boat, and left for Turks and Caicos ːws_damanː Trying Is For Losers Sorry, had to get it out of our systems... Anyway, so we spent the whole of August upgrading the codebase to run on the latest version of Unity and rewriting core pathfinding, culling, character controller, and shadow systems, in hopes that some of the changes would result in a substantial performance boost. However, after all the effort, the increase in performance was negligible at best, and…
- The Mission Drop - 31 July 2022
This week we mostly worked on missions & achievements + some backend stuff: ːws_peaceː Fixed some of the original achievements that weren't registering properly. ːws_peaceː Added a new batch of achievements, bringing the current achievement total to 42. ːws_peaceː @Cobretti137 & @StonyMike cooked up a new batch of mid-to-late-game tasks, bringing the total mission count to 160+. ːws_peaceː Fixed a couple of issues with the default controller maps. ːws_peaceː Added a controller calibration feature to the controls menu that'll allow you to independently set custom dead zones for each axis. ːws_peaceː Added an indicator to the hud xp bar that'll pop up whenever you're high enough to get that 50% XP boost. ːws_peaceː Worked on optimizing latency on NVIDIA GPUs. It's still a work in progress so don't expect a massive FPS boost, especially if the performance on your end is CPU bound, but the…
