Espresso Tycoon News

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We are thrilled by your creativity and how beautifully you have created holiday cafes ☕️🎄

Our jury had a very difficult task to choose the winners...

The time has come to announce the results of our competition!

[h3]The game keys are going to the following users:[/h3]

1. sarinoa
   
2. Demalii
   
3. ۞𝓩𝓮𝓶𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓲
   

You can see their work here:


Each of the announced winners now has 24 hours to confirm the prize reception. If they do not do so, the prize will be passed on to the next player chosen by the jury.

Thank you very much for your involvement!

And we encourage you to create more beautiful holiday cafes ☕️🎄

Especially since Espresso Tycoon is now participating in the Winter Sale as well - maybe it will be a good idea for a gift? 🎁

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We noticed that the first holiday cafes have appeared in the 'Screenshots' section on Steam, created based on our latest update. And we thought... let's turn it into a contest!



[h3]We have 3 Espresso Tycoon keys up for you![/h3]
You can gift them to your loved ones just before the Christmas holidays ːsteamhappyː

The rules are simple:

1. Enter the game and decorate a cafe in a location of your choice with Christmas holiday and Winter elements (remember, deco items are only available in the Sandbox mode).
   
2. Take a screenshot while being in the game (on Steam, it's effortless – just press F12. You can find it later in your Steam account library) – make sure it will be displayed in the 'Screenshots' section on Steam.
   
3. Add #EspressoXmasParty to the caption. If you've recently added your themed decorated cafe to this section, add this hashtag to the comments, and it will also participate in the contest. Your screenshot must contain our Winter and Christmas deco items (here's the list: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1543280/view/3892861608060385117)
   
4. By adding this hashtag, you confirm that this is your work and permit us to use this screenshot in our announcements and social media.
   
5. We await your screenshots until 21.12.2023, 19:00 CET.
6. We have 3 Espresso Tycoon keys for the winners (one person can get one key).
   
7. Our jury will then gather and select the winners. On 22.12.2023, we will announce the winners in a special announcement on Steam – we'll showcase 3 selected screenshots. Under each screenshot, we'll also provide a comment with information on how to contact us for the key.
   
8. If someone doesn't claim the key within 24 hours, we'll select another winner 😊
   

We look forward to your holiday and Xmas cafes!

Your Coffee Enthusiasts,

Your commitment is amazing ːsteamhappyː

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:

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We know you want us to add more content to our game. And since the Winter is coming, it's time for some special deco items and ingredients... ːsteamhappyː

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!
