- Grocery Store Simulator v1.0 Release Date - 15 November 2024
Big News! Grocery Store Simulator is launching November 21st at 9 AM EST! We’ve been working hard behind the scenes, and this update is HUGE. Not only have we fixed a ton of issues, but we’ve also packed in some exciting new features and changes that we think you’re going to love. Here’s a preview of what’s coming: Forklift + Bulk Ordering Now you can order pallets of items (36 per pallet) and move them around with a forklift! Save time with custom order presets—you can create, edit, or delete them as needed. Don’t worry, single-item ordering is still an option for those smaller orders. Better Employee System Managing employees is now easier with a new, streamlined task interface. We’ve replaced the old “Take a Break” command with the highly requested Unload Truck feature (and yes, employees will take breaks on their own now). Plus, we’ve given employees a visual upgrade for a fresh new…
- FORKS N STUFF | Devlog #2 - 22 October 2024
Hello, First off, thank you for all the support on our last devlog! It’s been great to see that the community is still with us and we really appreciate it. As promised, we’re back to show you the forklift in action! The images and footage you’re about to see don’t represent the final result!

- MESSAGE TO OUR PLAYERS | Devlog #1 - 15 October 2024
Hey everyone, We’re really sorry about the v0.8 update. It didn’t meet your expectations, and we promise we won’t make that mistake again. We appreciate your feedback, and we’ve read through all your comments. We know we messed up, but things have gotten a bit out of hand. We’ve even received some death threats. We never imagined an update could cause this, and we definitely don’t deserve that. Anyway, here’s what we’re working on for the next update: Employees Rework of the employees has already started, this is what we've done so far: Employees will now take breaks on their own when their morale drops, so no more managing that yourself. We’ve replaced the “Take a Break” command with “Unload Truck”. After you relog, employees will arrive right away. No more waiting for the next shift. The command wheel is now one simple interface for all employees. Just press “E” anytime, anywhere, to…

- EMPLOYEES | Grocery Store Simulator v0.6 - 15 August 2024
Hello, today we're introducing a new employee system that is different from what you're might have been used to, because, as always, we do everything with love and care. Because this game is co-op oriented, we needed to make sure the employees would not make the feature obsolete. We believe we balanced the employees well enough to still keep the gameplay challenging. While employees would greatly help solo players, it's still easier with friends. COMMANDS Forget about the lazy design other similar games use; this time, you're the boss. Each employee can do everything you wish. Just select the command from the command wheel, and off they go! NOTE: Employees will only take boxes from storage shelves when they are stocking! MORALE To avoid becoming an idle game, we added morale! Employee morale progressively goes down when they work and goes up when they are taking a break. Make sure to gi…
