- 10 Years of Shoppy Mart: Steam Edition! - 25 September 2025
Hey all! It's been a while since I've given any sort of an update with the last one being posted 7 years ago in 2018. When I first made this game I was 18 years old working at a grocery store. Now I am 28 years old and have two young kids who love playing this game and laughing at Buttface ːsmbuttfaceː. The most endearing and most popular character to have come out of Shoppy Mart: Steam Edition. Since the last update here I have made a few small games over on pezomi.itch.io for different game jams or just for fun but have not embarked on a larger scale project that has seen the light of day since Shoppy Mart: Steam Edition. ːshoppymartːAs the 10 year anniversary of Shoppy Mart was approaching I thought it would be fun to do a little quality of life update for some of the issues players have run into over the years but at this point do not think it will be possible to do so as the source…
- [1.5] The End - 24 March 2018
Hey all, Today I am releasing the 1.5 update. This will be the final update for Shoppy Mart: Steam Edition. I have been debating when I was going to officially close this chapter of my life, and I think it is time. Here is the changelog for the final update: Permanent price reduction from $4.99 USD to $1.99 USD as there will be no further updates to the game. Made it so that the seasonal events will activate automatically as opposed to me uploading a new build manually. The Halloween Event will run from October 1st to October 31st, and the Christmas Event will run from December 1st to December 31st. These, as always, can be activated from the options menu using the cheatcode "spooky" and "christmas". I've updated the demo of the game to be more accurate to the state the game is in now. The demo was riddled with bugs that have long been fixed in the full version of the game. Those all ha…

- [FIX] Black Screen on Startup - 10 September 2016
Hey guys, For those of those who have the black screen on startup issue I believe I have found a solution for those of you affected. I actually found the solution in a Hyper Light Drifter steam community discussion, some users were having similar problems in Hyper Light Drifter and it should fix the problem for you guys as well. Hyper Light Drifter is a game that was also made in GameMaker: Studio and this solution has helped people having the same problem with Shoppy Mart. Now here's the important part of the post: 1. options.ini tweaks: Open options.ini located in your game's install directory and change "CreateTexturesOnDemand=0" to "CreateTexturesOnDemand=1" You can also try changing "AlternateSyncMethod=1" to "AlternateSyncMethod=0" 2. Make sure graphics drivers are up to date 3. Disable any anti-virus software you have running 4. If you are on a laptop with integrated/discrete com…

- 1.3.2 - Crash on Startup + Achievement Bug Fixes - 18 May 2016
The two major bug fixes this patch are: Crash on Startup: The root of this issue was with GameMaker: Studio, in one of its updates it caused an issue with GameMaker and how it communicates with the Steam API. I hadn't thought that the reason for the crashes would have actually been on GameMaker's end. Hopefully this also fixes the black screens on startup. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll continue to look into it. Achievements: The root of this issue was a mixup between GameMaker: Studio and myself, for the since the Feburary Update, the only way your stats would update would be if you were to open and close the In-Game Steam Menu (Shift + Tab). That was why some people were having issues and other weren't. If at any time you were to Shift+Tab and then return to the game, it would start counting the stats, if you never opened up that menu and scanned 1,000,000 items, none of them wou…

- 1.3.1 Patch - Small change to bagging + bug fixes - 9 April 2016
http://i.imgur.com/UZUXSae.png In the 1.3.1 update the most significant change to the game is to the bag, here's what has changed: A new sprite for when the bag is full. The max amount of items you can put in a single bag is now 5. The main menu song now plays at your saved volume level. Fixed a bug where no audio would play at the main menu. Fixed several bugs that would make you get 'stuck' at the end of an order. I believe they are all gone now. That's all for now! Thanks for your continued support and patience, -Brady

- 1.3.0.3 Patch - 11 March 2016
I put out a small patch today that should hopefully fix the black screen bug that has been affecting users. It seems to be an issue with the game forcing fullscreen at the start, so from now on the game will start in a 1280x720 window. Thank you for your patience and understanding. -Brady

- 1.2.4 Fixing Bugs + Text Bug - 1 February 2016
Hey guys, so I just put up a new update that fixed some crashing issues users were having, but in doing so it made all of the text look something like this: http://i.imgur.com/gDAhOkU.png or this: http://i.imgur.com/4XqX6yd.png When I updated the game to fix the crashing issues I had to update GameMaker: Studio, and in doing that. It broke the scripts I have for handling the conversations. It'll probably look pretty funny for a bit while I go through all of the dialogue repsonses fixing it by hand. I apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause and I apologize for it, but the options I had were either no dialogue, or this out of the lines dialogue until I could go through and make sure every line of dialogue was back to normal. I hope you guys can understand. I thank you guys for the continued support and patience while I try to give you guys the best game I can. I'll try to ge…
