Dear Coffee Lovers,

Let's start with...

[h3]Espresso Tycoon is now ON SALE with a 20% DISCOUNT! 🔥[/h3]



⏰ Hurry! It's a limited-time offer!

🔴 Ends: Sunday, September 3, 19:00 (CEST)

[h3]What's next?
[/h3]
We have the next update ready! Thanks to you who joined our playtests!
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:



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

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

We added the new location to the Sandbox mode - Cafe on the Moon!

You can find it here:




This is a brand-new map that includes all the features available in other locations. Alongside the entire café environment and appearance, we needed to adjust several features to suit the conditions on the moon. For instance, ordering supplies ːsteamhappyː



You'll probably be asking - why isn't there a new mission in the Cafe on the Moon, why is it only in Sandbox mode?

No worries, we are also working on making it in Campaign mode - it will appear in one of the next updates ːsteamhappyː


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]

We're working on the next update, too! Stay tuned!

And tell us...

[h3]How will you name your café in space?

Hello!

[h3]We have closed the Cafe on the Moon in the Sandbox mode open playtest phase.[/h3]

Thank you for your engagement!

We have applied a few fixes - and now we still want to ensure that everything works as it should - so it's time for the next step! ːsteamhappyː

Note - this phase of playtests applies to people who have already bought the game ːsteamhappyː

You can already test our new improvements on a separate branch on Steam.

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!

What can you test?

• a new location in the Sandbox mode - Cafe on the Moon
• save/load in the new location
  
• completing the goals in the Sandbox mode (you can set them by yourself there)
  
• enabling the thief coming to your coffee shop (you can also set it in the Sandbox mode)
  

[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:



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

Let us know what you think about the new location! ːsteamhappyː
