Espresso Tycoon News

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We know you want us to add more content to our game. We asked for your help, we held a vote. And you decided - so we're making...

[h3]A medieval/fantasy coffee shop![/h3]

That means the next update Espresso Tycoon is coming soon! As always, we want to be sure that it is well-prepared and will not introduce new bugs.

We also know that you like testing with us - so let's do that again! ːsteamhappyː

You can already test our new improvements on a separate branch on Steam. You must have purchased the game first in order to switch to the testing branch ːsteamhappyː

Let us remind you how you can do that.

To access the branch on Steam, follow these steps:
1. Open the Properties of Espresso Tycoon in your Steam Library.


2. Enter your password there. You can see it on the screenshot (if you already typed the password there in the previous beta tests, just switch the branch).


3. Choose the proper branch


And that's it!

Here's what we've done!

Dear Coffee Lovers,

As you already know - we're planning the next big update. It will be a brand new deco theme!

We asked for your help, we held a vote.

And you decided!

We're making...

[h3]A medieval/fantasy coffee shop![/h3]


We're working on a lot of new items, like chairs and tables, walls and floors, new lights, and a lot of other items (it's still a work in progress ːsteamhappyː ).



What's more, we'll have some new ingredients (some vegan ones included!).




You may have some questions. Here are the answers ːsteamhappyː

How many new items will there be?
We're preparing over 150 items, along with new ingredients and toppings.

Where will they be available in the game?
All items and new ingredients will be available in Sandbox mode.

When will the new deco theme be available?
As you can see, we’ve already started working on the new deco theme. Creating it takes time, and we’ll still need to test it (and we’ll probably ask for your help with that too ːsteamhappyː ). Stay tuned, we’ll keep you informed about everything! SOON!

This is also a great time to show you how you can add your custom images as decor elements: 🖼️✨

HOW TO ADD YOUR PICTURES?
You need to find the folder on your PC:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\LocalLow\DreamWay Games\Espresso Tycoon\GameState\CustomImages

YOURNAME - it's a placeholder here, there should be your name on your PC ːsteamhappyː

There are 3 files:

• painting-1x1.png
  
• painting-9x16.png
  
• painting-16x9.png
  

You need to add pictures there with EXACTLY the same name.

And you can choose different picture frames (and different colors, too).


These are some drawings made by children from our DreamWay Games family ːsteamhappyː

HOW TO ADD YOUR LOGO?
You need to go to the same folder that was mentioned before:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\LocalLow\DreamWay Games\Espresso Tycoon\GameState\CustomImages

YOURNAME - it's a placeholder here, there should be your name on your PC ːsteamhappyː

There are 3 files:

• brand-1.png
  
• brand-2.png
  
• brand-3.png
  

You need to add pictures there with EXACTLY the same name. They will look best when they are white (because the colors will not look the same as in your picture - quite like the pictures in our Latte Arts).



[h3]ENJOY!
And share your winter coffee shops with us![/h3]
