We are excited to share that a big free update and a small Cat Companion DLC (downloadable content) is coming to Winkeltje. We are now in the final testing stage where we would like to invite you to try it out. The purpose of trying out this new update is to find issues that we can fix before we go through the arduous task of deploying to all stores and gaming platforms.
This big free update contains new features, content, and quality of life improvements such as:
- Ledger menu
- Pricing menu
- 10 additional shop levels
- Better level unlock distribution
- New furniture and structure pieces
- New music during shop opening for each season
- Early morning as the new default lighting
- New boy employee model
- New hair styles
- Several new hair colors
- Performance optimizations
- And much more...
Cat is out of the bag
The Cat Companion DLC is going to be our very first DLC for a small, yet to be determined, price. As you may know, we develop and publish our own games and updates across PC and gaming consoles. As our first ever DLC, this is both exciting and daunting. To try our best to deliver a smooth deployment, we are going to make the cat DLC free to try out on Steam for a week as of this posting. This will help us find and fix any issues, and give you a chance to enjoy a furry feline in your shop. Once a week has passed, the cat feature will be disabled again. From that point you will have to be patient until the big free update is deployed and the Cat Companion DLC will officially be made available on all platforms. You can wishlist the DLC over on its store page over here.
