Espresso Tycoon News

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We have the next update ready! Thanks to you!
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... a manager!

Do you remember our survey about creating the roadmap with our players? A manager was one of the most frequently requested mechanics in our voting. That means it was YOU who chose it ːsteamhappyː

A manager will take care of your supplies.

Thanks to the manager, you won't have to remember to constantly order more ingredients; they will also be arranged for instant delivery. However, it won't be that simple – the manager's salary can be quite high!
They will order not only the supplies that are running low. They will also order more if they are needed for the new coffee recipes.


Just like other employees, the manager can undergo training, and their salary can also be adjusted. You can also fire them if you need to.



I'm already in the game - when can I hire a manager?

You need to have at least 4 Golden Beans to unlock this feature. In the Campaign mode, we're unlocking this mechanic in the 7th Mission - so in Mexico City. That means they are available in each next mission, too.



Of course, in the Sandbox mode, you can hire a manager in each location. And you can even set them to work 24/7.


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!

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 prepared!

[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!
