Thank you! I think there has been more since then. I can't remember if Just Shop Mode was already in at that point.

Indeed, it starts before where Final Profit begins. We'll get some further digging into familiar characters. And the main plot of Oil Town will be important to the grand plot of the series, leading into Final Profit 2.

Steam Autumn Sale is cool and all...

But i'm much more jazzed to be a part of Melbourne International Games Week! ☕✨

Which you may have trouble finding while Steam is busy blasting their own event all over the front page.

only tangentially connected, i first became aware of northernlion because passers-by on social media and the steam forums kept asking (rudely) why northernlion was the protagonist of final profit.

This year Steam changed their Autumn sale dates, so it overlaps with most of the Steam fest. But there will still be a short window for promotion near the end.
