Signing a shop so people find their way

How to sign and glaze a TCG Card Shop Simulator shop, given that the game ships its own door plates, arrow signs and room signs.

Applies to

no version stated by this build (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A shop with a front door
• The walls you want to dress
• The sign list open in the shop menu

Steps

1. Hang the entrance plate instead of leaving the door bare.
   the game ships a sheet carrying a red no-entry plate and a green welcome plate
2. Point the way with the arrow set rather than with words.
   an enter arrow, an exit arrow, a long one and a plain one are named, with one arrow named for the exit door
3. Sign the counter as well as the door.
   a counter sign is named for the counter being closed
4. Tell customers when a room is shut off.
   a close sign and a closed warehouse room sign are named
5. Glaze the front rather than walling it up.
   two glass doors are named, one of them the reveal door
6. Keep the outside of the building readable too.
   the houses outside carry their own door and window sheets

Common mistakes

• Leaving the entrance unmarked and relying on customers finding the door.
• Using one arrow for both the way in and the way out.
• Forgetting to say when the counter is closed.
• Blocking the glass front with shelving so nothing can be seen from the street.
