Demo feedback

[IsaWP]

Hey, I enjoyed the demo but I see a few issues!

Store:
- the amount of cleaning seems a little unnecessary, how are people making so much mess in a bookstore of all things?
- if books laying on the ground encourages dirt, I'd need some kind of special chest or book storage to keep some stock on hand so I don't need to store them on the floor
- build mode: would be handy if I could move multiple things instead of having to re-open the menu for every item I want to move
- minor nitpick, but there doesn't seem to be much place on the walls for paintings unless you put the bookcases away from the wall
- customers who are about to check out should not be immediately kicked out of the store at closing time! I lose a sale and have to put a book away

Books: (for a positive note, I enjoy the cloud of genre-icons!)
- titles need to be more genre-stereotypical, I'm getting titles for that look out of place, which makes it hard to remember what book is what, and the pacing is too hectic to constantly check all the books!
- examples Romance: The Golden Sceptre (Fantasy?), Nasty Creature (non-fiction, thriller?), World of the Sea (non-fiction?)
- examples Fantasy: Gangsters by the River (thriller, non-fiction?), Wild Heart (Romance?), Season for Revenge (thriller?)
- covers need to be more distinct and genre-stereotypical for the same reason, you simply can't see what book is what

Appearance:
- facial hair should be separate from other accessories
- hair colour should be separate from hair styles, there's too many to look through one by one!
- clothing colour should be separate from clothing style, for the same reason

I agree with all of these suggestions, thank you for writing this all out so I don't have to!

I'm going to piggyback.

The large notice that says Open Shop is pretty intrusive, especially after several working days.

Sometimes after giving correct change back to customers, the Book Ordering screen pops up.

Sometimes you can't access books or messes that happen right behind shelves. You have to manually hit B, Move items, grab the book/mess, then move furniture back.

I wish the purchased items and furniture snap together easier. Having a line of bookshelves that are *just off* from the ones next to it is annoying.

It would be nice when changing out bookshelves and other furniture that you can replace them instantly instead of moving books over and having to B, Trashcan all the stuff you don't want anymore.

I think there's a lot of shoplifting going on. I've watched books disappear off shelves and followed the customer, only we can't engage with them and they just take our books.

With the instroduction of more books and genres coming, I hope there's room to expand our bookshop! I'd love to have shelves for all the genres + lounging sections.

Thank you so much for this Demo! I really enjoyed it, and got lots of hours in!

Ah! Going to add! An inventory system is definitely needed. In the middle of business, I'd love to see what books are completely out of stock so I can order them real quick.

A small corner popup that says: "We're closing soon!" would be nice. I found myself rushing to gather customers inside, only to get back inside and the store closes with 6+ potential customers.

Piggybacking more demo feedback: It would be less frustrating in character creation to separate colours from style. As it stands you have to click through multiple versions of the same hairstyle for example to reach the next. If you could pick style and colour separately this would be quicker and easier. Also I see no bald headed option which would be nice.

Hey, thank you so much for your feedback. I am reading every bit of feedback and see what changes I can reasonably do for them. Much appreciated
