Open for business
Wow. It's launch day. First, we apologize for arriving a little past our scheduled release date. It took longer than expected for Steam to approve our build. But know that we took that extra time to improve, polish, and play-test Checkout to ensure that you're getting the best experience.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to everybody who played our demo and gave feedback on how Checkout could be improved. Trust me when I say that we listened to every point and implemented almost every suggestion. Checkout is 100 times better because of you cashiers.
Also, we'd like to thank all the kind words and support that we have received. We never imagined this little game would resonate with so many people. We've been gamers for as long as we can remember and only in the past year did we finally muster up the courage to make games ourselves and now here we are. It truly is a dream come true. We hope our story can inspire you to chase your own dreams as well!
Coming Soon
Here's a list of things that we have in store for Checkout. Some may be more immediate while others may take a little more time to cook.
- Endless Mode - Play a shift without the timer. Great for when you want to put on a show or podcast in the background.
- Seasonal Decor - Give a festive vibe in the break room depending on the month.
- More, more, more - More products, more customers, and customer dialogue lines.
- Localization - I'm going to try my best.
- MacOS compatible - 🍎
And of course we will be monitoring the game for any bugs to be squashed and quality-of-life improvements that can be made. We'll try to solve those issues as they arise.
That's all folks
We put in a lot of work in Checkout and had a lot of fun during the process, so we really hope you all enjoy the game! We're excited to see your reactions to a slice-of-life in retail.
Oh, and make sure you get your name at the top of the global leaderboard while you can before the try-hards take over. ;)
That's all we got for now and the timing couldn't be more perfect, because I think your shift is starting soon. We'll see you out there!
