Shoppe Keep 1.03 Content Update and Craft Keep
----------------------------------------------------- ːskbadgeːːskbadgeːːskbadgeːːskbadgeː Good day old and new keepers! Since the last update we took a bit of a vacation to relax and gather our thoughts on how Shoppe Keep progressed, and what else could we add to the full version. But sadly, mucking around with a HTC Vive headset we got sidetracked by Virtual Reality, and free content update work was benched for a bit. Seeing as our Craft Keep VR is launching today, we felt that it is more than fair to make sure a content update to Shoppe Keep arrives at the same date. This is not a huge update like most of you were used during Early Access, but a fun one nontheless! As usual most of the changes in a list at the end of the anouncement!
-----------------------------------------------------
This building has been blocked off for some time, and many have speculated that it will be an Inn. The Inn is best used at lower levels and lower gold count, for a small amount of kPoints you are able to unlock the Inn with a single table for 4 in it.
Additional tables can be purchased by speaking with the innkeeper, as well as additional upgrade unlocks that will help your Inn bring in serious coin. Adventurers traveling trough town might want to visit the Inn, once they do they will sit down, enjoy some Ale and some meat if it is available.
The more customers you have seated during phase changes, the more gold you will earn. 2 times per day the Innkeeper will calculate how much gold you earned per seated customers and that revenue is yours to withdraw! We got a few more fun ideas for the Inn in our pocket and we will see how we could implement them in the future if we deem them good enough.
----------------------------------------------------- The Crimson Sanctum is our newest adventures for the Champion.
It is said that a famed artisan blacksmith has been posessed by the ancient blood god and is being forced to make weapons for his demonic army. The new adventure offers brand new loot of weaponry for the Warrior, Mage, Druid, and the Rogue's receive their own Tier 4 Armor set "Drainhurt"
-----------------------------------------------------
4 new additional customisation hats for your keeper!
----------------------------------------------------- The wish bubbles that popped over customer heads were a good way to tell the player what the customer wants but you dont have, but from a distance it was a bit hard to read the fast flashing text.
Now instead we get presented with a item icon of the item of their choice!
----------------------------------------------------- A good portion of our community despise the evil barbarians, but they still want the popular perk. So we added a toggle, that might easen up the day to day shopkeeper workload. You can enable or disable barbarian spawning alltogether, but keep in mind that means no Barbigantua and no special sword drops! Once you feel nostalgic about them, toggle that safety net off and turn on combat mode for some fun!
----------------------------------------------------- Performance should be noticable to our lower end players the most, most of the update work went into reqriting a good portion of the game to handle features with ease, as during development of Shoppe/Craft Keep we learned a lot and used the newfound experience to optimise.
----------------------------------------------------- Connecting with Craft Keep the adventure islands that preview on the champion panel received some upgrades (For the ones that appear in Craft Keep) to better look like their VR representations
----------------------------------------------------- A new achievement and an OCD fix is offered within the game, who will find it first? Some achievements were removed/reworked to allow everyone to reach 100% completion, some few minor bugs are preventing a full 100% but, soon it will be available to everyone.
----------------------------------------------------- If you want to blame anything for the update being postponed, blame this!
Craft Keep VR is a Shoppe Keep spinoff where you are an artisan blacksmith with the ability to create potions, swords, daggers, arrows, poisons, enchantments and so on and on. The game will be story driven and include some minigames + free mode. Built up from scratch for HTC Vive, but other Virtual Reality headsets are being concidered at a later date. Consider supporting our Early Access launch, that at this point offers Chapter 1 with some backstory and acting as the tutorial, Free mode with an early look at the Chapter 2 enviroment !̶!̴̴͢!!̨̢!҉CA̷͜V̸AL̸̷LO͢ ÍS҉҉ W̡Á͡T͜͞͝C̛H͜I͘N͏̨Ǵ, ̷Ṕ͡R̴̨OF̡̡͡I̵̧T̨ IS̷̴ ̸K̵E̢̛͘Y͢,҉́ ͠F̷̨I̸̷Ǹ̷D̡͞ ̴T̕͏H̷E҉͠ ̧R͠Ę͟͞C̢̢Ì̸͜P͘͟E̵!̵͏҉!͏͘!̛͘͘!͘!̨͞ "Forest Pick", shooting range because it's a VR game, any VR game must have something to shoot at (I think it is a law at this point).

***With the exciting announcement that Shoppe Keep has now moved from Early Access to full release comes further good news! Only today developer Strangefire has declared a number of significant game play enhancements and new and expansive content. We will continue with our planned seasonal updates, but the really exciting news is about the new Street Market and the Inn!
If you haven’t played Shoppe Keep yet, why not join nearly 100,000 gamers who are already enjoying this unique business management game, and create your own fantasy retail consortium! ***
The skill is to shrewdly set the price of each item and watch the money roll in - too expensive and you will find your stock shrinking as stealing increases. Deal with thieves quickly with a swing of your sword or a zap from a lightning spell!
Price your wares competitively and adventurers will travel from miles around to your one-stop shop to spend their gold.
Four memorable characters will visit your store, including a hardened warrior, magical mage, sneaky rogue and wise druid. Each of these character types will seek to purchase items relating to their skill set - a warrior will be hard pressed to take a flimsy magical robe into close quarter’s battle!
You have a daring clientele to add pressure to your role as a shop keeper. After beating up goblins and even battling the great ol’ Dragonclaw they can be a little aggresive. This might mean your displays can be spoilt and tables and shelves damaged. They are not too careful about bringing in dirt from the street either!
However help is at hand! As the owner of the store you’ll be armed with awesome tools for combating these issues. The broom will sweep away dirt brought in from your customers and the hammer will repair furniture damaged by these extraordinary visitors. A few sweeps and a couple of swings means your shop will be in tip top shape. Expand your empire and you can employ an army of “Helper Bots” – the latest in imaginary technology.
Set your prices too high and your customers may think twice about investing their hard won (or stolen) gold in your shop. They’ll throw the dice and attempt to steal it right under your nose! A quick swing of the sword or a zap of a magic spell can make quick work of these thieves. But be cautious not to hit any innocent bystanders or you’ll suffer the monetary penalty of paying a high fee!
And let’s not forget the Barbarians, they live on the outskirts of the city, regularly invading the town, and if your shop is popular enough will cause as much damage and destruction as possible. They will even fight you directly if you try to stop them. Eliminate a few dozen barbarians and they’ll invite a much larger friend to come and visit you.
It’s tough running a shop, as there are often not enough hours in the day to go out and procure new items. Thankfully, you can employ a champion that can be unlocked in the skill tree. Select a class, equip them with your finest armour and weapons, and send them out to bring back new wares. Some of these items can be sold, some are junk and others can be crafted into more powerful gear.
Your champion will need to gain experience. The first time out they may fall in battle, and whilst they will not return with any new goods, the experience will have taught them valuable skills that will improve their chances next time.
“Helper Bots” are your robotic staff team. The MK III was created by a Gobliness engineer to increase the artificial intelligence of this mechanical chap. Originally, these bots would break down and refuse to acknowledge orders. However a few bugs have been ironed out and the MK III is the latest in robotic technology.
The helper bot has three duties; zapping thieves who attempt to steal from your shop, picking up items that customers may have thrown to the floor, and restocking items back on the shelves. You can purchase several helper bots to help run your shop, and to help automate the process of running your shop.
Over the next few weeks the new content we mentioned at the beginning of this announcement will be added. You will be able to expand your business to include the selling potential in the local street market. The street market employs a vicious guard to protect market sellers stock – put your most expensive stock for sale here to ensure it will never be stolen! Also to be added is the new local Inn. All shoppers need a place to relax and refresh so why not include the Inn as an extra arm to your business. Your customers can sit and enjoy a drink and some food whilst you sit back and watch the profits roll in. And enjoy a drink yourself too!
