Espresso Tycoon News

Dear Coffee Lovers!

You know that we highly value the involvement of our community, so when planning our roadmap, we also want to see what you expect from us :) Below is the list of features we are analyzing. We have also considered your suggestions after playing the game when creating this list. Remember, we are constantly updating, and some things are already added to the game (like tea) or we are actively working on them.

Help us set the direction of our roadmap!

Dear Coffee Lovers,

Your commitment and creativity are amazing ːsteamhappyː Thanks to you we can make our game better! And we have the next update!

But before we explain what's actually in this update, here's a brief instruction.

Sometimes you can have a problem with launching the game (or some parts of it) after the update. This issue could be related to Steam and not the game itself. If you encounter a problem like that, please check your local files here:



Sometimes Steam can have issues with updates, and this is a simple solution. :)

[h3]And now, let's get back to our update...[/h3]

Here's what we've done!

• added: the possibility to drag and move the layers (and change their order without the need of removing them!) already added to the recipe in the Coffee Editor
  
• added: the option to enable/disable challenges in the Sandbox mode
  
• added: the possibility to enable/disable random events in the Sandbox mode
  
• added: the new filter in the Supplies window - "On the Menu" - shows you all the supplies that you're using in your coffee recipes
  
• added: the button "Go to next Mission" to the Exit window (the one which is open when you're pressing the ESC button) when you decided to stay in the completed Mission a bit longer
  
• increased: the limit of units of the Supplies ordered to 25
  
• removed: the random event related to the employees quitting their job
  
• fixed: achievements related to getting 1 000 000 money and having the "Perfect Menu"
  
• made: some improvements in German and Japanese language
  

Many, many thanks to those who helped us test this update!
Remember to change your version of the game for yourself on Steam:


It would be good to restart Steam, too - to be sure you have the newest version of the game ːsteamhappyː

[h3]We wouldn't be here without you![/h3]

Hello!

We're preparing the next update for Espresso Tycoon! But, as you know, we want to be sure that it is well-prepared and will not introduce new bugs.

We love your engagement so - let's test the next update together, too! 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!

[h3]For those who do not want to test our beta update - thank you for your patience! As soon as we are sure that everything works well, we will upload it to the official update ːsteamhappyː[/h3]

Remember, that sometimes there might be a problem starting the mission after the update. This issue could be related to Steam and not the game itself. If you encounter a problem like that, please check your local files here:

Dear Coffee Lovers,

[h3]And now, let's get back to our update...[/h3]

Here's what we've done!

• added TEA (a few kinds of tea, to be more specific) as new ingredients in the Coffee Editor - there were a lot of requests about adding them to the game ːsteamhappyː
  
• added the option to click on the rubbish counter, which will move the camera to random rubbish, making it easy to track it down
  
• added the ability to search for ingredients in the Supplies window by group, not just specific ingredients. For example, you can now type 'Mint Syrup' (or any other ingredient) to see the entire group of supplies
  
• added the ability to set the probability of animals in Sandbox mode in every location
  
• added some improvements in the Korean, German, and Japanese languages (work on improvements with Chinese is still ongoing ːsteamhappyː)
  
• fixed the problem with the disabled game save button after staying in an already-completed mission
  
• fixed a problem in the London mission where it was impossible to hire security if one did not follow the tutorial correctly
  
• fixed the issue where people stopped coming to the cafe when someone acted out of line with the tutorial
  
• fixed the problem of 'hidden rubbish' that could sometimes hide in certain furniture
  
• fixed the problem with NPCs stuck because of the pets
  
• fixed a problem with the outline
  
• fixed a problem with employee photos in the Employees window that didn't always refresh correctly
  
• improved the drawing of values in Temporal Trends in the Coffee Editor so that requirements that can't be met don't appear
  
• resolved a minor bug related to the music after completing a mission
  
• implemented various other minor bug fixes. ːsteamhappyː
