Hello Cashiers,

You asked, we listened: Endless Mode is here! Customize your ideal shift and play as long as you want. No timer, no stress, no problem.

• Added Endless mode.
  
• Consolidate score guide into "How to Play".

• Break room typo.

Made some UI changes to help you understand the game a little better. Happy hunting!

• Add score parameter for each star at report screen
  
• Add tooltip in pause menu that indicates level and score parameter for stars
  
• Add option to retry shift at report screen
  
• Add score guide in main menu and pause menu
  
• Add player movement slide in "How to Play" - in case you forget how to move and interact
  
• Add qty indicator on register screen
  
• Slightly increase contrast of "code" in break room

Nothing of interest here for most of you. Keep doing your thing.

• Refactored how achievements are set

• Rendering - We've switched to Godot's Forward+ rendering option which will result in snappier performance.
  Note: If you are now unable to run the game because of this change then a possible solution may be to add the following flag --rendering-driver opengl3 in the launch options in Properties > General.

• Crash when exiting shift screen.
  
• Character dialogue typo.

edit: Added note about rendering option not allowing older device to run the game.

Hello cashiers,

We have a small patch that hopefully fixes some issues.

• Overtime Mode - Due to an oversight, the game would try to reference some data from your save file. If you had not created a save file or a save file had not been loaded then it would crash as a result.
  
• Multiple Save Slots - When creating more than one save, previous data was not properly cleared and caused new data to inherit previous data values.
  
• Skipping Tutorial - Some people could not skip the tutorial video. I'm not sure if this was a bug or a result of bad design. Initially, you had to wait for the prompt to disappear before pressing and holding the escape key. Now it should work immediately when the prompt appears. Take notice of the circular loading icon in the upper right hand corner that indicates time pressed remaining before the skip takes place.

We've had reports of games crashing when selecting a save, starting a shift, or being unable to proceed after a certain level in Story Mode. We tried our hardest to replicate these issues to no avail unfortunately.

If you're having these issues I have set up a Google Form[forms.gle] where you can upload your save data so that we see if it's due to a corrupted save file. Instructions on how to do this are in the form.

I'll also have a pinned discussion where these issues can be consolidated.

That's it for now. Continue to let us know what issues you're running into and we'll try to fix them as fast as we can. As always thank you for your patience and support!

Wow. It's launch day. First, we apologize for arriving a little past our scheduled release date. It took longer than expected for Steam to approve our build. But know that we took that extra time to improve, polish, and play-test Checkout to ensure that you're getting the best experience.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to everybody who played our demo and gave feedback on how Checkout could be improved. Trust me when I say that we listened to every point and implemented almost every suggestion. Checkout is 100 times better because of you cashiers.

Also, we'd like to thank all the kind words and support that we have received. We never imagined this little game would resonate with so many people. We've been gamers for as long as we can remember and only in the past year did we finally muster up the courage to make games ourselves and now here we are. It truly is a dream come true. We hope our story can inspire you to chase your own dreams as well!


Here's a list of things that we have in store for Checkout. Some may be more immediate while others may take a little more time to cook.

• Endless Mode - Play a shift without the timer. Great for when you want to put on a show or podcast in the background.
  
• Seasonal Decor - Give a festive vibe in the break room depending on the month.
  
• More, more, more - More products, more customers, and customer dialogue lines.
  
• Localization - I'm going to try my best.
  
• MacOS compatible - 🍎

And of course we will be monitoring the game for any bugs to be squashed and quality-of-life improvements that can be made. We'll try to solve those issues as they arise.


We put in a lot of work in Checkout and had a lot of fun during the process, so we really hope you all enjoy the game! We're excited to see your reactions to a slice-of-life in retail.

Oh, and make sure you get your name at the top of the global leaderboard while you can before the try-hards take over. ;)

That's all we got for now and the timing couldn't be more perfect, because I think your shift is starting soon. We'll see you out there!
