Here's the first devblog for the bazaar area, where we've mainly focused on working on the exterior. We also just released a smaller update, mainly with bug fixes, but also something new.

Here's a brief introduction to the locations that will be part of the bazaar:

The bazaar can be divided into three areas: the central district with fancier buildings, the slums with makeshift structures, and the industrial zone.


The center of the bazaar is a bustling, area free of mushrooms, even attracting the occasional tourist. It offers a variety of services, including a movie theater, spa, internet cafe, jewelry store, casino, and much more.






Adjacent to the bazaar center, the slums are home to mushroom addicts, the poor, and those who have lost everything gambling in the casino.






The industrial district sits next to the Osmo Olut brewery. This is where ore from the mines is processed into goods, some of which are even sold beyond Obenseuer to generate income. The famous Club Bassment is also located here, drawing visitors looking for entertainment.




Here's something we added in the latest update.

Version 0.3.38 can still be accessed via: Steam Library -> Obenseuer -> Options -> Betas and selecting 0.3.38.

Hello mushroom miners!

This is the last dev blog entry before the update, as we have been working on the main content of the Mines Update; the train system, quests and the mines area.




One of the major addition of the mines updates are minetrains, or minitrains, as established.
The mines contain network of long tunnels what can be explored with your locomotive.

It is possible to couple wagons into a long train, and haul rocks and ore into processing area for some sweet sweet cash. But be aware that driving around consumes precious diesel.

With minitrains, we're also adding a new line of tenement upgrades; a mining depot connected straight to the mines.



You can finally see your own skills! At the beginning all skills are hidden and by doing different things, like mining, engineering or drinking, you unlock new skills that you can level up.



There are a lot of orange mushrooms in the mines, so we added new effects and stat to them. The mushroom powder made from them makes the player move and dig faster. And lock picking is also easier, but using orange powder also has negative effects!



Mine update will have a huge amount of new furniture. Some furniture also has the option to change the style, for example you can change the sleeping bag to a packed form. Some old furniture also has received new skins such as different colored letters.

• Vendor's wealth level indicator
  
• Deekula B rooftop terrace
  
• Safes with different types of loot
  
• Residents from streets now pack up their tents if you rent them an apartment
  
• New alcoholic drinks with associated production chains
  
• New fishes

Full list of upcoming changes can be found out by wading through our changelog:
https://github.com/loiste-interactive/Obenseuer-Issues/blob/main/CHANGES.md

Over the last month we have continued to develop the mines and added some new features and improvements. Here are some new things to come:


There will be liquid storages, such as barrels or makeshift sinks, where you can store liquids. It's also possible to take a shower in any liquid you want, such as beer, mushroom water or sulfuric acid!

This means that the early tenement upgrades with makeshift-tier tanks and barrels now have a limited supply of water. But don't worry, when you ran out, you can ask Ol' Malone to refill the storages for you.

Also, as Obenseuer is a place known for its nonpotable tap water, O-Market has stocked itself with large 10L canisters of fresh spring water.




With the drawing board, you can draw blueprints, instead of relying on blueprints scattered around the district. You can get started with just some paper and duct tape, but for more complex furniture blueprints you'll need more advanced stuff, such as a math/tables book.

We have also added other content such as:

• Balanced output quality of self-made alcohols and farming. Now some easier early game (sugar, turnip) mashes doesn't automatically turn out crap, having less value than the ingredients.
  
• Rent payment interval options
  
• New furniture such as ore crusher, plastic barrel shower, makeshift IBC sink and pillows
  
• New items such as rat trap, spring water and 10L water bottle

And here are a few more pictures of the upcoming content:

In the last few months we have been solely working on a major upcoming district zone, The Mines.
As per tradition, our devblogs don't tend to be long posts, so let's get straight into it.




The Mines are a large zone with a maze of tunnels, buried secrets and new services for convenience.
Among with rocks and, umm, more rocks, the mines comes with a narrow-gauge railway network, you can use to traverse the tunnels and shunting carriages full of ore you have mined. The mines will also provide with new opportunities of tenement upgrades.


Tenement A, a large habitation block near the market area, provides a new, and less depressing, job opportunity. The block also hosts, or well, used to host a hospital dedicated at helping the victims of the fungal disease.


The 'Open Sewer Metro', a local network of smuggling tunnels of an unknown original purpose will serve as a metro system connecting districts of Obenseuer.


A few smaller new task-related locations are coming, like Bank of Bazaar where you can rob the bank vault.


Chicken coops can be installed in tenement to provide with an income of chicken meat, feathers and eggs. Oh, you can also breed cats.

Your cat has also passed the inspection of the administration, and will be delivered to you.


O-Market sells daily newspapers from the outside world. You can read newspapers to pass time and gain a small mental health boost from reading the news.

Daily lifehack magazine will also arrive in an item form, what can be read at your leisure to gain invaluable knowledge of crafting recipes.
It is now also possible to subscribe to the Open Sewer magazine, which will also provide recipes and small amount of random skill per volume.
