"Schedule I Patch 5 Updates Game to Version 0.3.3f14, Content Update Coming This Weekend"

Schedule I, the drug dealer simulation game that took Steam by storm, continues to evolve with the release of Patch 5, bringing the game to version 0.3.3f14. This latest update comes hot on the heels of the game's viral success, which has seen it outperform major titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals. Developed and published by the Australian indie developer known as TVGS, or Tyler, Schedule I has transformed players from small-time dope pushers into powerful kingpins, managing drug manufacturing and distribution across the gritty city of Hyland Point. The game allows players to expand their criminal empire through property acquisition, business ventures, and hiring employees.

Tyler, overwhelmed yet thrilled by the game's reception, expressed gratitude and commitment to improving Schedule I. "I never expected this kind of response!" Tyler shared on Reddit, emphasizing the focus on releasing patches quickly and preparing for the much-anticipated first content update, set to launch this weekend. Sneak peeks of what's to come will be shared soon, adding to the excitement among the game's dedicated community.

Patch 5 addresses several critical issues, including employee, multiplayer, and casino bugs, alongside implementing pathfinding validity checks to reduce crashes—a significant concern highlighted by community member Chi Chi on Discord.
