Tyler, the mastermind behind Schedule I, has rolled out the much-anticipated 0.3.4 update after a brief testing phase. This update marks the first major content expansion for the viral drug dealer simulator since its explosive launch on Steam in early access on March 24. In his Steam patch notes, Tyler detailed the new additions and improvements, which include a functional pawn shop, a boutique store, various wall decorations, and more.
Addressing the community in a Steam post, Tyler apologized for the delay in the update's release, attributing it to the ongoing refinement of the update and testing process. He reassured players that starting next month, updates would be more streamlined and timely, shifting to a larger monthly update schedule.
Looking ahead, Tyler outlined his focus on resolving the remaining bugs, prioritizing issues such as:
- Ensuring consistent employee performance without hitches.
- Safeguarding save games against corruption or disappearance, with insights from Valve to enhance the save file format's compatibility with Steam Cloud and reduce corruption risks.
- Reducing disconnections and loading problems in multiplayer mode.
Additionally, Tyler expressed his intent to improve the game's optimization and secure Schedule I's verification for Steam Deck, using it as a performance benchmark.
