- Back in Development: New Patch Notes for Grand Mall Simulator - 9 August 2026
Hey everyone, sorry for going quiet for so long, let me explain everything from the start!Some of you know I made this game together with my partner, that's why we were called Minds 2 Bros, we'd been friends for a long time and dreamed of making games together. He handled the coding, and I handled everything else: design, mechanics, textures, materials, 3D models, registering the company, registering on Steam, basically everything except programming, since back then I had zero clue about it. We released the game, put out patches and everything was going fine, we each got 50% of the revenue, exactly as we'd agreed from the startBut at some point he said that I still wouldn't be able to keep the game going without knowing how to code, and demanded we split the profit 70/30, claiming he was doing more work. That put me in a really tough spot, because I knew without him the game was basical…

Fixed a bug where the notification did not appear after completing the entire quest chain. Fixed a bug where purchasing materials one by one was not counted for the quest. Fixed a bug where the contract payment could be deducted twice. Fixed a bug where NPCs sometimes did not enter the furniture store.
- Hotfix - 0.56 v1 - 6 August 2025
– Fixed a bug with furniture racks in the storage area. You need to re-select the furniture in them, save the game, and the rack will retain its purpose on subsequent re-entries. – Fixed a bug with quests for ordering materials, now everything works correctly. We optimized textures and materials a little, so the patch is heavier than usual.

Fatal Error Resolved
- Update 0.53.2 — Housing + Major Optimization Patch - 12 May 2025
🔧 Systems & Logic We’ve overhauled the core movement and priority algorithms. Shoppers now glide around obstacles more smoothly, get stuck in aisles far less often, and reach the checkouts more reliably. We also refined the shopper behavior model. Agents now weigh nearby items and queue lengths before picking a shelf, so their choices look more natural and predictable—no “overthinking,” just fewer random face-plants into walls. Fixed a bug that prevented stores from earning a rating higher than 4.2 stars. 🏠 Housing & Sleep Home ownership is finally here! Choose from 3 houses and 10 apartments—each fully furnishable with our décor catalog (see below). Important: you can no longer crash on the office couch or “skip” the night on your tablet, so grab a bed for your new place! 🎨 Décor The catalog now features 50+ new items—posters, sideboards, lamps, home furniture, and more. Mix and mat…
