Progress Summary: Shops, Bills and Loans

Shop

Whatever resources you might need can be purchased from the shop. I have currently created 6 shops in toplfe:

• Food shop: sells ready meals, drinks, and ingredients for preparing other meals.

• Supplies shop: sells items that aren’t edible like pregnancy tests and congratulatory cards.

• Children shop: sells items you would need to raise children like baby food and diapers.

• Jewelry shop: sells new and used jewelry.

• Car dealership: sells new and used cars.

• Real estate: sells and rents out houses.

It was very important to me that shop items are functional. You can actually use them to perform the specific actions they were built for. The cars transport you places, food satisfies your hunger, the pregnancy test reveals if you’re pregnant, and you live in the house you rent.

Bills and Loans

The bills and loans system has been set up. Your character can take out a loan to pay for a car, house, or school. They can also have recurring bills for all the things like rent and loan repayments.
