Another Brick in The Mall

After shelving a bunch of prototypes and one quite advanced project over the past few years, we're working on a new game that shows promise but is not yet ready for an announcement, let alone a steam page...So after not releasing anything for a long time I decided to go back to Another Brick in The Mall as a distraction over the summer holidays. Well, with fresh eyes I was able to come up with solutions for some long standing bugs and issues and decided to do an update. Along with those fixes I thought I might as well implement the mechanics for Hotels as a new business and optional High Resolution Textures intended for modern monitors. Hope you enjoy them!Patch Notes 1.2.0 Added: New Business: Hotels! (Motels really). Create a Hotel Lobby as a reception for your guests and Hotel Rooms for them to sleep at. Hotel guests will spend more time and money at your Mall. Hire Cashiers as receptionists and make sure you have a Maintenance Center nearby with Janitors to clean the rooms and change the bed sheets when your guests are gone. A garbage pick-up zone nearby will help things run smoothly. Added: New objects: Hotel Bed, Hotel Shower Stall and Hotel Room Door. Added: High Resolu

So I was planning this update mainly to fix some long standing bugs and issues, but I thought I might as well implement the mechanics for Hotels too! Also, you can now choose to use High Resolution Textures (twice the standard resolution). Hope you enjoy them! See at the bottom of this post how to participate in the beta test. Patch Notes 1.2.0 Added: New Business: Hotels! (Motels really). Create a Hotel Lobby as a reception for your guests and Hotel Rooms for them to sleep at.

Hire Cashiers as receptionists and make sure you have a Maintenance Center nearby with Janitors to clean the rooms and change the bed sheets when your guests are gone. A garbage pick-up zone nearby will help things run smoothly too. Added: New objects: Hotel Bed, Hotel Shower Stall and Hotel Room Door. Added: High Resolution Textures. Recommended for players with a QHD (1440p), UHD (2160p) or above monitor. You can switch to High resolution textures in the Video Options. Changed: Builders now prioritize building doors over everything else to reduce to probability of having inaccessible work orders. Added: A warning icon and tooltip over inaccessible w

Here is a post-release update with extended modding limits, a much needed independent handling of floor tiles build orders, improvements to ultrawide mode and a bunch of bug fixes. Scroll down for a Workshop showcase to make good use of the new modding limits! Patch Notes 1.1.0 Changed: Products/objects mods are now limited by texture space. On the manage mods menu the texture space is estimated and might not be completely accurate. Mods that could not be loaded will show up as a warning sprite in-game. Changed: You can now have up to 640 modded products instead of 128 (you will most likely be limited by texture space before reaching that number though). Changed: You can now have up to 108 modded floor tiles instead of 20. Changed: Orders to build floor tiles are now handled separately from foundations/objects orders so that build orders do not cancel each other. Added: You can now display the names of characters if they were generated from Twitch chat or modified, or display all names, from the Twitch tab of the options menu. You can also press N in-game to cycle through modes. Fixed: A possible corruption of fine dining restaurants. Fixed: Minimum size storages not getting delive

The original soundtrack for Another Brick in The Mall by David Gonzalez is now available on Steam! A great opportunity to enjoy the soundtrack outside the game and support an amazing musician! The soundtrack will be available on other popular platforms in the near future. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26429399/2fa062322b7b530b95aeaea8bb92acb22d338284.png
