Vape Empire: DevLog Update – May 2025

Hey Vapefreaks! 🌀💨

Big progress this month – Vape Empire is shaping up into the grimy, hilarious shopkeeping sim we envisioned. Here’s a quick update on what we’ve done:


🎯 Core Systems Complete

We’ve finished the core mechanics: scanning items, restocking, selling to customers – all the gritty tasks that make your vape shop tick. The grind is in full effect!

🌳 Skill Tree in Progress

The Skill Tree is coming together! Soon you’ll unlock perks to improve customer flow, get exclusive stock, or add chaotic new flavors to your shelves. Want faster restocking? Easier sales? It’s your call.

🌙 Day/Night Cycle

Time now passes in the game. Different customers, events, and vibes depending on the hour. Late-night vape runs hit different.

🔥 New Original Brands: Aether & Oryon

We’re introducing our own product lines:

  • Aether: Premium liquids, including Aether Duo (two-flavor blends) and Aether Ultra (ultra-strong flavors).

  • Oryon: Custom-designed vape devices, made in-house for the true enthusiasts.

🛠️ Other Features & Polish

  • Fully functional Pause Menu, Shop Menu, and Skill Tree toggling system (you can’t break the game by opening menus at the wrong time anymore… we hope).

  • Interactive cash register system: handle customer orders manually for that "authentic post-Soviet retail experience".

  • New UI design updates – more polished, more "knockoff webstore aesthetic," and of course, still totally sketchy.


That’s it for now! The Vape Empire is growing – stay tuned for more updates. Thanks for following the project, and remember:

💨 Stay sketchy,
FlyHigh Studios
