Hey guys! This week has been crazy, we have had hundreds of new shoppers and tons more support! as such we have found some pesky bugs but have also had the chance to work on new stuff for Sunset Mall! Here is an overview:

• Small bug fixes
• Fixed resolution bug
• Discord Button on the menu
• Store Types are back to normal!
• New Soundtrack (Mall Quest Soundtrack)
• Sunset Mall MacOS, Linux and SteamOS Support!

The BUGS

We have found a few pesky bugs in the game that are now fixed, this covers stuff from AI glitches and props spawning inside of each other and all the way up to a very annoying resolution bug! they are all fixed now!

Discord

The Discord server has gotten new members and we now have a goal to become a verified server, this means we need to get to 500 members! Help us out by joining, there is now a button on the main menu to help you do this quickly!

Store Types

Back when Sunset Mall first came out, the stores had set types, for example 'Millennium' would always be a game store, 'Lackluster' would always be a VHS store, it seems in one of the updates this was broken and the stores just became random. I can't for the life figure out when or how this happened but it is now fixed!

Mall Quest Soundtrack

To celebrate the roots of Sunset Mall, the soundtrack of Mall Quest created by Chalet Magical has been added for free download on Steam. Go check it out in the soundtrack section!

New OS Support!

We started on Windows but I have always had high hopes to bring Sunset Mall to every platform, today was the first step towards this goal. You can now get Sunset Mall on Linux and SteamOS as well as MacOS as well as previously being released on Android and soon IOS. This means the game is now supported on a huge range of systems like Mac and Macbooks, Linux machines, Windows PC's, SteamDecks, phones the list continues! I still would like to release the game on:

• Playstation
• Xbox
• Switch
• IOS

So to support me with this, let me know if you would like to see the game come to any of these platforms!

Sunset Mall is a simple "Vaporwave" style adventure game situated in a 90's Shopping Mall where you explore a randomly generated mall in search of iconic 80's - 90's Music, Movies, Toys, Consoles and Games all while you enjoy the aesthetic style and music.

There are 100s of hidden references and Easter Eggs in the game, a lot of which may never be found.

Things to do in Sunset Mall:

• Visit a variety of stores that are constantly moving, upgrading and changing as time goes on.
  
• Talk to unique shoppers that have their own name, look, style and attitude!
  
• Run, hide or fight back against muggers, don't let them take your hard earned cash!
  
• Visit an ATM and withdraw some cash to help with your shopping trip, don't worry about the banks asking for it back. surely they wont mind, right?
  
• Listen to Smooth Vaporwave music spanning over multiple soundtracks!
  
• Visit a vending machine and try the bubbly taste of the ALL-NEW Sunset Cola, or spray it at people... if you are mean like that.

The History of Sunset Mall
The game originally released on Itch.io as a reference to Mall Quest which was removed by its developer for unknown reasons.
After a great reception, Sunset Mall was completely rewritten and revamped to provide a better, more fun and performant experience and now here it is on Steam!
