   From the recorded announcement

   Hi everyone! 👋Lately, I've been getting a few questions more and more often:What's next? Will there be more games from me? Will OPEN FOR BUSINESS continue to receive support? And what are my plans after releasing my first game? So I thought it was time to talk a little about what's coming next. ;)And first, one small…

   Hi everyone! 👋Lately, I've been getting a few questions more and more often:What's next? Will there be more games from me? Will OPEN FOR BUSINESS continue to receive support? And what are my plans after releasing my first game? So I thought it was time to talk a little about what's coming next. ;)And first, one small request:If you're interested in following not only OPEN FOR BUSINESS, but also my future games — make sure to follow my developer/publisher page, CRIXALINA, on Steam. That's where I'll gradually share news about future projects, announcements, and everything related to my upcoming games. ❤️OPEN FOR BUSINESS isn't going anywhereLet's start with the most important thing. No, development of OPEN FOR BUSINESS is not stopping.I still read your messages, reviews, Steam Community discussions and Discord. I continue fixing bugs reported by players, and from time to time I also adjust or expand existing mechanics. For example, recently I added the ability to decline Loyal Customer quests — something players had been asking for. Some changes will be small. Some updates may come less frequently. But if I find a problem I can fix, or see an idea that fits the game well — I'll continue working on it. Thank you to everyone who took part in Early Access. And a huge thank you to everyone who continues to buy and play OPEN FOR BUSINESS after the release of version 1.0. ❤️But I'm already working on my next game 👀Those of you who have been following my activity on Steam for a while may remember that, when I was first learning Unreal Engine, I had several different game…

   Almost 1,000 Copies Sold! And Development Continues ;)Hey everyone! We're getting really close to the first 1,000 copies of Open For Business sold! 🎉This is a pretty big milestone for me, especially since this is my first game. =)So, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who bought the game, plays and enjoys it, leaves reviews, reports bugs, and shares feedback and ideas. It really means a lot to me. ❤️And by the way... If some of you thought that Full Release meant I was going to stop updating the game... Nope. Not even close. ;)Actually, I got a little sick recently, which gave me some extra time away from my regular work to focus on Open For Business. So today I spent that time working on the game and managed to release several small updates and fixes. And almost all of them happened because you guys wrote about things on the Steam Community forums and in our Discord. What changed today?HOTFIX 1.0.1 — Audio Bug FixFixed several audio settings that weren't working correctly. Weather and additional sound volume can now be properly adjusted, and cash register, building, system and other sounds are now correctly affected by Master Volume. Thanks to KxnnyCore and Eclipse for the detailed bug reports!HOTFIX 1.0.2 — Loyal Customer quests can now be declinedThis was added by popular demand. ;)You can now simply click “Decline” if you don't want to complete a Loyal Customer quest. The next Loyal Customer will still appear randomly after approximately 1–2 hours of gameplay, and yes — you can decline that one too. :DHOTFIX 1.0.3 — UI readability improvementA small adjustment…

Thanks to alansimm29 for the info ;) - Now, you can also turn on random music with the keyboard shortcut ;) This might also help if the music would occasionally cut out after turning the volume down to "0" in the settings.
