Shady Deals v0.10 Progress Report
The main thing I’ve been working on for the last couple of days is the statistics. Most important variable changes in the game are already handled through macros, so it wasn’t very hard to implement - just monotonous to check everything. Not the most exciting thing, I know, but the earlier I deal with it, the better.The second big feature in this update will be the camshows business. I want to implement a minigame around it as an early-game j...

Shady Deals v0.9 Progress Report
I'm going to change how i do progress reports, since i always end up tweaking the "preliminary" changelogs in sneak peeks anyway. I'd rather switch to shorter, easier-to-read posts about upcoming updates.v0.9 will focus entirely on the new "phone" feature and NPC interactions (again). Also, I finally figured out a workable design for the "NPC filtering" system i’ve been wanting to add for ages after someone sugge...

Shady Deals v0.8 Sneak peek
v0.8 is coming out as an update without a specific theme. Initially, i planned to focus it mostly on gang war, but after some playtesting I realized that the constantly triggered gang heat events already provide enough to do during the capturing process. So, this update is mostly about various additions that (hopefully) improve replayability and make the game loop less tedious. Well... maybe the health changes might actually make things a bit mor...
Shady Deals v0.7.2 Public Release
Gofile Pixeldrain MegaWebPatchnote for v0.7Also, most likely i'll post a sneak peek of v0.8 on 19.06. I ended up wasting a LOT of time on implementing automatic shipment creation with priority handling and specific item amount transfers, so the update might be slightly postponed. Or maybe i'll just release it as-is with the main features and leave the other sidestuff for later. At least there aren't any more big QoL things left to add...

Shady Deals v0.7: Personal Heat
Public releasePatreonv0.7 is kind of a “cleanup” update - lots of balancing changes, fixes, and some QoL stuff. Most of the new content is basically hidden behind fail-states, which you’re not really supposed to trigger that often. So yeah, it’s more of a “transition” update.You can check some of the screenshots in the sneak peek!ChangelogFaction HeatStarting with v0.7, each gang now has its own heat level. It’s a hidden stat - youâ...
Shady Deals v0.7 Sneak Peek
The v0.7 update is a weird one. It’s all about faction heat - basically, a big pile of new fail-states added to the game. I got some negative feedback the last time I introduced fail-states (when generic heat was added), even though the heat events weren’t fully working back then lmao. So this time, I tried to make it not oppressive, like, at all. In a normal playthrough, most players probably won’t run into many of the new heat events, ex...
