- 50K WISHLISTS!! 🎉 - 30 July 2026
So... 8 years. Eight years I’ve been chasing this dream of just making games full-time. And now it actually might be happening? I think? Hope so. Hi! We just hit 50,000 wishlists. That’s huge. Like, huge huge. And I owe that to every single one of you — so seriously, thank you. ❤️Since this is kind of a big deal, I wanted to write something personal. No PR fluff, just... me.I’m Rostislav. Just some indie dev. Trained as an architect, did arch-viz for a few years, then decided I wanted to make games instead. Because I’ve always lived and breathed them, you know? But playing games and making them? Completely different beasts. Probably not the smartest decision I’ve ever made. And yet here I am... honestly a little scared, not gonna lie.You know that joke about Dom Toretto from Fast & Furious, every movie he’s like “this is my last race,” and then there’s another one, and another, and anot…
- Update & CBT! 🛠️ - 17 July 2026
Hey everyone! We’ve been busy bees and made many changes to the game. First up, we completely revamped the tutorial – it’s way simpler and easier to get into now. We also tweaked a bunch of technical stuff and controls. For example, we’re want to know what you think about using Shift and Ctrl when placing items, does it feel smooth? Since these changes are super fresh, we ran a small closed test beforehand to gather early feedback. So, if you got that notification with access to the CBT – please jump in, give the new version a spin, and drop your thoughts in the comments or fill out the survey (it’ll pop up after you finish a session). We’re constantly working to make Tiny Shop bigger and better, and our goal is to create a game you’ll want to sink hours into. Thanks a million for your support and for helping us shape the game! ❤️

We've been going through your surveys (almost 2.5k of them!), collecting and analyzing your messages on socials, discussing all the feedback, checking in-game stats… and just couldn't believe our eyes.You know, one comment in the questionnaire literally melted our hearts:"…I could feel how much passion and love the dev is putting into this project. I don't know you, but I already love you and your game so much."We don't know you personally either, but the whole team already loves YOU! Not only did you find time to play Tiny Shop, you also left a ton of super useful info. Thank you for this incredible r…

Hey friends!The Lunar New Year celebrations are in full swing, and we wanted to do two very important things. First, wish everyone a happy and wonderful holiday! Second, let you know that in Tiny Shop, we're planning to add a huge number of themed items so you can decorate your shop exactly the way you want. Both on an ongoing basis and in honor of real-world or in-game events. One of those events will be the Lunar New Year. During these events, the city administration will organize festivals, processions, parades, and... much more ;) Whether to participate or not is entirely up to you. But you can always decorate your shop to match the theme. This way, you not only join in the fun but also boost your profits by attracting more visitors.We've already added a large set of items to the game celebrating Chinese culture and the Lunar New Year. Very soon we'll move to the playtest phase, and…
- Tiny Shop: sweet updates and something special! 🐾 - 18 July 2025
Hi friends! 👋 Sorry I haven’t shared any updates in a while. I’ve been fully focused on working on the demo. Just a little more time, and in a couple of weeks I’ll be able to share details about the upcoming playtest 🎮✨While working on the game, I realized that a cozy little shop definitely needs a cozy little resident. What do you think should it be a panda 🐼 or a raccoon 🦝? And maybe you already have an idea for their name? And now, some more exciting news! Tiny Shop is part of the Steam SimFest 🧡 I’m really happy to be included in this lovely event. Make sure to check out the festival page and explore all the other amazing games 🎮I also created a Discord server where you can share your ideas, talk about what kind of shop you'd love to open, or just hang out. The demo will include two shop types a flower shop 💐 and a bakery 🥐 and after that, it's all up to your imagination 🎨T…
