Schedule 1, the engaging simulation game where players step into the shoes of a drug dealer, is set to receive its first significant update since its launch in late March. Currently, a beta version of this update is available for players until April 9, with a full release expected soon after.
Developer TVGS, known simply as “Tyler,”shared news of this upcoming update on the Steam News Hub, highlighting that he plans to conduct testing for the updates in Steam’s beta branch for “a day or two”before launching them to a broader audience. This approach indicates that fans could see the official update as early as April 11 or 12. While the beta version won’t include all full update features, it allows players to experiment with new, complex interfaces before the wide rollout.
Since its debut, Schedule 1 has garnered significant interest from players, allowing them to build and expand their underground operations in the fictional setting of Hyland Point. The game currently enjoys an “Overwhelmingly Positive”rating on Steam, reflecting its strong reception.
What’s Included in Schedule 1’s Update?
Focus on Decorative Items
The upcoming update will introduce several new locales and a variety of decorative items, with a primary focus on enhancing the functionality of the Pawn Shop. Players can now sell virtually everything except their illegal goods to the shop owner, Mick. Additionally, the Bleuballs Boutique has been renovated, showcasing a refreshed interior design. New decorative items will include an antique wall lamp, a selection of metal and wooden signs, a grandfather clock, and luxurious gold and silver watches and chains, notably featuring gold bars as well. A safe has also been added to the mix, allowing for a richer gaming experience.
Furthermore, the update will enhance customer dialogue options and validity checks, while also addressing various bugs, including a critical issue affecting drop-down delivery functionality on mobile devices.
Our Take: Schedule 1’s Continuous Improvement
TVGS Welcomes Fan Feedback
Since its launch, Schedule 1 has cultivated a passionate fan base, and it appears that its popularity continues to ascend. TVGS is demonstrating his commitment to the community by actively incorporating fan feedback into the game’s development. Despite working solo without a dedicated team, his swift responses to player concerns and his thorough testing methods before updates signify a dedication to enhancing player experience.
For indie developers, engaging with the player community can be challenging. However, the timely delivery of substantial updates illustrates TVGS’s commitment to advancing this project. If Schedule 1 maintains its trajectory of strategic and responsive updates, it is likely to remain a favorite among players with each successive iteration.
