Following the recent release of the highly anticipated cartel expansion, Schedule 1 developer TVGS is once again empowering its player community to determine the game's next major content direction. The development team has launched a second community voting initiative, continuing their player-driven approach to game development that began with the first successful vote earlier this year.

Schedule 1 has established itself as one of the standout indie successes of the year, alongside other notable titles like R.E.P.O. and Peak. The crime simulation game achieved remarkable early success, reaching nearly 460,000 concurrent players on Steam during its launch window, securing its position among the platform's most popular titles. Solo developer Tyler has maintained consistent updates since release, ensuring the game continues to engage its growing player base.

The cartel update, which emerged victorious from the first community vote, has now been successfully implemented, and TVGS is ready to move forward with the next phase of development. In a recent Steam announcement, the developer revealed that the second community vote is now active and will remain open through the weekend. Players can cast their votes directly through the Schedule 1 main menu, choosing between three distinct content options that would significantly expand the game's criminal enterprise simulation.

The three options presented to players represent different aspects of criminal enterprise management. The hireable drivers option would introduce specialized employees capable of transporting goods between player-owned properties, businesses, and dealers. This system would include automated route designation with customizable conditions, such as minimum item thresholds before transportation begins.

The fishing option presents a completely new gameplay dimension with a dedicated minigame where players can catch various fish species and sell them through Randy's Bait & Tackle establishment. This update would also introduce new ingredients and effects to the game's existing systems. The shrooms option, which appeared in the previous vote, would enable players to manufacture and distribute magic mushrooms as a new drug type, complete with specialized equipment, unique effects, and a new supplier character.
