Hi to all Dealers out there!
Today we release a great update full of new mechanics and nice improvements!
Let’s look inside the box and begin with the nicest: new skin tones for customers!
Could you imagine? It came quite unexpected even for us, since it was actually a free time experiment and it came out working at the first try! Now thanks to this you’ll have nothing less than the world coming to your shop! Every customer now has his own tone of skin! It doesn’t affect anything in game but it’s a pretty effect that surely adds more variety, isn’t it?
We also made some little graphic changes to the visualization of the fame level to better fit the notebook page, now with the addition of a new great feature that I’ll explain in detail later because it’s huge and it deserves a dedicated speech… Let’s stay on graphics for now and say that in addition we introduced a nice message that pops up whenever you reach a new fame level, so you can better feel your progression in the game. Just to keep you informed!
With this release we also made another tide of balance to make late game even better, granting more rare and valuable items for your last three level of fame! Prepare for unbelievable deals!
Talking about balance, we also increased the average number of “shop for rent” articles you receive in the newspaper during the morning. These will let you choose between more shops each day, a good thing considering the increased number of shops available from previous releases!
And now, last but surely not least, here is the biggest: we made another step forward in the recurrent characters path with the introduction of reputation! What is reputation you say? Well, let’s say it represents how people see you. Are you an honest guy or a criminal?
Since dealing with counterfeits is against the law, reputation is hugely influenced by your choices regarding fakes. You should keep an eye on it and remember that reputation can cause different events to happen, and those aren’t usually good (well, actually some of them are good…)! With this release we introduced a first pack of special events related to reputation but the next and more important step will be the integration of the first four… I mean five recurring characters, as their plots are deeply involved in the reputation mechanic. I’m talking about the Mafia Guy, the Policeman, the Special Agent and a couple of other characters we haven’t revealed yet… But this is another story and I won’t tell you anything more about it, for the moment. Let’s just say that reputation is here and it will get more and more important in the near future!
Finally let’s talk about a small improvement: with this release we introduced the permission to write on the SD card and this should help solve some specific device issues. If you have Android 6+ you can accept it only if you have problems saving the game otherwise you can deny it without any consequences. This could also help when we’ll develop the possibility to import save game from Lite version to Premium version, although we will try to use Google Play Games for this flow.
With this we come to the end for this update! We hope you’ll enjoy the changes!
Stay tuned and keep up the good deals!
