waiting on steam to hopefully approve the game as steam deck verified! Have gone back and forth with them a few times, the last round of iterations was just focused on keyboard prompts showing up when you had a controller. Not counting on it for the very nearby update, but it woulda been nice lol

I'm finalizing what the implementation looks like rn, but yeah I'm also extremely excited to be including one of their characters! Creature Kitchen was a delight and really inspired me when I played it.

G’morning, indie devs & pubs 👋 *lawyer voice* 👨‍💼 • Have you launched a game or big ol’ update in 2026? • Are you launching before the end of the year or targeting Q1 2027? • Would you like some extra visibility during *that week* in November? You should apply to Grand Theft Autumn 🍁

Its a small step, localization is something I'd love to do eventually but currently does not make a lot of financial sense due to how much text is in the game. This will let me see wishlist numbers from these regions now though, which might help me identify what to focus on for the next game!

Not gonna make a huge announcement since the game isn't actually translated, but I am happy to share our Steam page has been translated into French, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish (LATAM & Spain), and Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)!

I've been having a hard time lately and haven't felt like myself just due to all of what life is right now, really wanted to find a good game that would help center me and relax, and this was it. The whole game feels very personal, I really truely adore this little game. I may or may not have teared up quite a bit on the final day.

Thank you so much for making this, I hope you find everything your looking for in your adventures.

For me these mostly happened the frame before an enemy died, that was the most noticeable consistent trigger Def worth playing the game imo its a masterclass in im-sim design!

Lil tiny bug patch out to fix the issue when you had the cat customization open and then the day ended causing the interface to stay on the screen! Also tested the [secret cameo character] that will be coming in the next update alongside proper controller icons in game!

Seeing someone say "Makes me want to make my own game" in a review for DBS makes me so happy!! Go and make cool art! I know that anyone can make a game, it just takes a bit of grit and willingness to learn & make some scrappy games at first.

Dungeon Bodega Sim is 3-4 hours for this exact reason. Respecting a players time is paramount. If the most interesting thing about your game is how long it is, what are you doing??

🍓Studio Update!🥝
Alien Fruit

Exciting Studio Update

I wanted to thank y'all for the amazing reception to Dungeon Bodega Simulator. Seeing all the love for it has been such an encouragement for me and my collaborators. I'm excited to share that I'll be leaving my current day job to focus on indie games full-time, enabling some pretty cool next steps! 

1) We are in development on a partnership project! They liked DBS & had an idea I was excited about, this is my primary focus.

2) Dungeon Bodega Simulator will continue to recieve bug fixes & quality of life updates in response to the community

3) I'll be cooking up some other side projects with friends, experimenting with genres and narrative.

Thanks for all the love, stay tuned for future updates!

6) Decor is saved as an array of packed scenes, packed into a custom resource 7) Decor nodes were not given a unique name when they were originally spawned either. It seems like it might be best to give them unique names since I'm serializing them down the line?
010
Alien Fruit Games @alienfruit.games · 13/08/2026
4) On a save with the glitched item, the behavior is consistent. The same node will get renamed the same thing and not be saved, therefore disappearing on the next save/load cycle. 5) The node did not show up in the "orphaned nodes" area of the object snapshot

Alien Fruit Games @alienfruit.games · 13/08/2026
3) The fix right now is to use add_child(parent,true) to force a readable name. Otherwise it was giving an empty shelf the same name as a full shelf. I wonder if it was a race condition while the full shelf took longer to setup or something?

Alien Fruit Games @alienfruit.games · 13/08/2026
1) This was happening sporadically, I was never able to replicate the behavior myself I had to troubleshoot using a players save (thanks mangoduck!) 2) It only was happening to decor objects that could have items placed on them, which is weird as they dont have their own scripts

Alien Fruit Games @alienfruit.games · 13/08/2026
Good news: Disappearing furniture bug should be fixed in the July update! Other news: I'm not quite sure why the bug was happening, only the after effects. For some reason it was giving the same name to 2 sibling nodes which it is never supposed to do thread of notes in case anyone has input!
