Indie developer TVGS has rolled out a significant update for the popular co-op simulation game, Schedule 1. Version 0.3.4, released on April 10, brings a host of new features, including decorative items, gameplay refinements, and the highly anticipated Pawn Shop functionality. This update follows a successful beta phase and is now accessible to all players on Steam.

Despite being developed by a solo creator, Schedule 1 has taken Steam by storm. Since its early access launch on March 24, the game has amassed over 459,000 concurrent players, securing a spot in Steam's top five most-played titles. Fans continue to eagerly await new content, and TVGS has delivered with this latest patch.

What's New in v0.3.4?

The update introduces a variety of new decorations and functional additions, such as the Bleuballs Boutique and Pawn Shop interiors. Players can now sell almost any item (excluding products) at the Pawn Shop. Other notable additions include:

• Wooden and metal signs
• Wall-mounted shelves and safes
• Antique and modern wall lamps
• Collectible paintings and luxury items like gold bars and watches

Gameplay improvements include an enhanced counteroffer interface, better customer recommendation dialogue, and an increased jar stack size to 20. The update also addresses several bugs, ensuring a smoother experience.

Steam Deck Compatibility

While Schedule 1 is currently labeled as 'playable' on the Steam Deck, TVGS is working on optimizations to achieve official verification. The developer aims to resolve text-related issues and improve controller compatibility in future updates.

Ongoing Developments

TVGS has outlined priorities for future updates, including fixing employee behavior, preventing save file corruption, and improving multiplayer stability. The developer is also collaborating with Valve to enhance Steam Cloud save functionality.
