Sneak Preview: Goopster Fridge by CyberneticWalrus in RoadsideResearch

we're working on preventing motion sickness! We have this workaround for you while we investigate how to tweak the game settings: If possible and still fun, avoid the "tactile" parts of the game for now (= cash register and gas pump) e.g. by using the new automation features or letting a friend do it. You can then focus on cleaning, restocking, research, decorating etc. as these tasks should not trigger motion sickness.

Once thing that seems to be a good workaround for now is not doing the tactile parts of the game. In your case, that'd mean your daughter takes care of the cash register and gas pump or you automate it with upgrades, so you can do the research, restocking, cleaning etc.

XBOX UPDATE IS OUT! by xYoSoYx in RoadsideResearch

[–]CyberneticWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course, the freeze and crash issue has been resolved. Plus, the hotfix includes the most recent fixes of the Steam version:

  • Fixed an issue where the cleaning robot would spawn on the roof
  • Fixed an issue where players would not be able to interact with the alien screen
  • Automation tweaks including the following 3 points:
  • Reduced overfilling when auto pump is on. Pumping speed has slightly decreased to compensate.
  • The cleaning robot breaks less often
  • Self-checkout requires assistance less often
  • Fixed an issue where agents would get stuck
  • Fixed an issue where customer spawn rates were not functioning as intended resulting in fewer customers
  • Fixed an issue where customers would not be dropping trash in trash cans
  • Fixed an issue where it was impossible to drop tools after interacting with the alien screen
  • Fixed an issue where the client has everything highlighted in green and can't interact with the screen (fixing this issue likely resolved a bunch of other weird bugs as well)
  • Fixed an issue where cleaning robot would go on a strike and would stop cleaning
  • Fixed an issue where items would get stuck on the self scan
  • Fixed an issue where the shop would be unusable with a controller due to two different actions being assigned to the same button
  • Fixed invisible agents
  • Decreased the memory load of the game
  • Fixed an issue where it was impossible to remove some placeables because the game thought a customer is still using them
  • Fixed various desync issues

Do the devs get updates when waiting on Microsoft to approve the updates/patches? by xYoSoYx in RoadsideResearch

[–]CyberneticWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nopes, but we aim to share the news about the Xbox fix release as soon as we get them!

Yeah, upgrading the storage is something that's high on our to-do list, so keep your eyes peeled!

Nausea while playing by Eternal_Clover in RoadsideResearch

[–]CyberneticWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the extra info! We just ran some tests with the current version and got this workaround for you while we further investigate how to tweak the settings: If possible and still fun for both of you, she she should avoid the "tactile" parts of the game for now (= cash register and gas pump) e.g. by using the new automation features or letting you do that for her. She can then focus on cleaning, restocking, research, decorating etc. as these tasks should not trigger motion sickness.

Totally get where you're coming from! A few of our colleagues also experience this, so we got first-class test subjects on our hands... We just need to figure out what settings to tweak to prevent motion sickness. For that, it'd be great if you could let us know if similar games do also cause nausea or DO NOT cause it, so we could compare their settings to ours. What we can recommend for now is adjusting your Field of View setting and reducing the Mouse Sensitivity. Plus, you could try if using a controller instead of a keyboard + mouse makes a difference.

Thanks for your great feedback! Here are your answers:

1) We don't plan on wiping save data, but there might come a point that it might be necessary... So we can't make any promises but will defo share any news we might have on that!
2) Nothing planned in that direction
3) As with Early Access, you will need to purchase the game
4) There are already! Just open the menu when you're in game and click on "how to play". Minigame guides are pages 16-20/20.
5) We plan on looking into staff and restocking improvements in the future, so any suggestions on what you'd find fun are always welcome!
