Dev Tyler Unveils 'First Proper Update' v0.3.4 for Testing

The indie sensation Drug Dealer Simulator: Schedule I continues to dominate Steam charts, maintaining its status as one of the platform's most-played games. The game's developer, Tyler from TVGS, an Australian indie studio, has just released the first significant post-launch update, version 0.3.4, which is now available for testing on the beta branch. Tyler shared on the game’s Steam page that this update will be on the beta branch for a couple of days before its full release, and players can opt-in to test the new features.

While the beta version does not include all the features of the upcoming full release, Tyler emphasized the urgency of releasing it to allow players to trial new wall-mounted objects and the pawn shop interface. "This beta doesn't quite contain 100% of the features coming in the full release," Tyler noted. "I'll be adding a few more decorative objects tomorrow [April 8]. I wanted to get this beta out ASAP so that the new wall-mounted objects and pawn shop interface can be thoroughly trialed."

Schedule I soared to the top of Steam's sales charts upon its launch, outpacing established titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals. Its viral success across social media, Twitch, and YouTube has attracted a massive player base. In the game, players start as small-time dealers in the gritty city of Hyland Point and work their way up to become drug kingpins, managing the manufacture and distribution of various drugs, expanding their empire through properties, businesses, and employees.

Tyler has expressed astonishment at the game's explosive launch, describing it as "amazing but pretty overwhelming." In a Reddit post, he shared, "I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focused and get patches out ASAP. Also looking forward to getting started on content updates as soon as all major bugs are patched."
