Developer's Announcement

Instead of titling updates by "Weeks," they will now be labeled as "Updates" to reflect the development progress. This change will help avoid confusion and issues related to hiatuses caused by events during the development of "Tasty Road."

A couple of weeks have passed since the last update. After the game jam held on May 2nd, I went on vacation to the United States. On the plane to San Francisco, I conducted a gameplay test for bug detection. Unfortunately, a serious bug was discovered that affected the entire gameplay of "Tasty Road." During my travels, I spent a significant amount of time fixing this bug. Fortunately, the issue has been resolved.

I have also added features allowing players to interact and move to different places within the current location. Currently, the gameplay is challenging for players to understand what is happening or what they are interacting with. The next update will focus on possibly adding a dialogue guide system to help players recognize what is happening as they progress through the game.

New Features and Updates

- Location Interaction -

In various parts of the locations, players will encounter randomly placed interactable signs, inviting exploration within the current setting. These signs will transport players to buildings, shops, and other intriguing destinations, enhancing the depth of the gameplay experience.

- Station Shop -

A 'Station Shop' has been newly introduced to the game. Players can access this shop by interacting with the 'Station Shop' sign located within the current location. Within the shop, players have the option to purchase various stations currently available in stock. Once purchased, these stations will be transferred to the player's vehicle, and its state will change to 'sold'.

- Station Shop NPC -

An NPC has been added to the station shop. This NPC will typically roam around the shop, and if a station has been sold, the NPC will automatically restock a new station. Additional actions will be incorporated into the NPC in the upcoming development process.
