Tyler's Dev Update: v0.3.4 Now Available for Testing

The overnight success of Drug Dealer Simulator: Schedule I continues to captivate Steam users, securing its position among the platform's most-played games. Developer Tyler has now rolled out the first significant post-launch update, version 0.3.4, which is currently available for testing on the beta branch as detailed on the game’s Steam page. Tyler has confirmed that the update will remain in beta for a couple of days before going live, inviting all interested players to opt into the beta branch for early access.

Tyler explained that while the beta doesn't include all the features planned for the full release, it was crucial to release it quickly to allow players to test new wall-mounted objects and the pawn shop interface.

Schedule I stormed to the top of Steam's sales charts upon its launch, outpacing major titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals after going viral on social media, Twitch, and YouTube. In the game, players start as a small-time dealer in the gritty city of Hyland Point and work their way up to becoming a kingpin, managing the production and distribution of various drugs. Players can expand their empire through acquiring properties, businesses, and hiring employees.

Developed and published by the Australian indie developer TVGS, aka Tyler, the explosive launch of Schedule I has been described as "amazing but pretty overwhelming." Tyler shared his astonishment on Reddit, stating, "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."
