🎮 Schedule I v0.3.4 Launches: New Pawn Shop, Boutique, and Major Quality-of-Life Fixes
The viral indie drug dealer simulator Schedule I, developed and self-published by Australian creator Tyler under the studio name TVGS, has officially rolled out its v0.3.4 update to all Steam players following a brief testing phase. This marks the first major content expansion since the game’s explosive early access debut on March 24, where it instantly claimed the #1 spot on Steam — outperforming heavyweights like GTA 5, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Marvel Rivals.
In a heartfelt message on Steam, developer Tyler apologized for the delay, admitting:
“I'm still ironing out the update/testing process.”
But he assured players that the future is brighter:
“Things will run much smoother and on schedule once I start delivering larger monthly updates—starting next month.”

Tyler has confirmed he’s prioritizing crucial bug fixes, including:

- Reducing multiplayer disconnections and loading issues.
- Improving overall performance, especially on lower-end systems.
- Pursuing Steam Deck verification as a top priority, calling it his “performance benchmark.”
“I’m just trying to keep up with the madness,” Tyler joked. “Right now, I’m focused on staying on track and releasing patches as quickly as possible. I’m also eager to start work on content updates once the major bugs are resolved.”
