Espresso Tycoon News

We're waiting for the RELEASE!

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We are rapidly approaching the release of our first full game as DreamWay Games. We can't believe it ourselves. We're happy that it's Espresso Tycoon because it's a project that has been with us for a very long time. In fact, even before DreamWay Games came into existence!

CHECK OUT THE FIRST PROTOTYPE OF THE GAME!

As you can see, a lot has changed since then. 😄


Just showing old materials brings a tear to our eye because that's where our work on Espresso Tycoon began! It's a piece of history!



[h3]YOUR VOICE[/h3]

What our players think is very important to us. That's why we listened carefully to the voice of our community. We took into account the suggestions made in the demo and playtests and improved the game based on that. We also asked for opinions on several key issues, such as the choice of locations for the Prologue or the addition of new languages. We are very grateful for such a strongly involved community!

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

We are incredibly proud to bring you the full version of the game on the 7th of June. It will include:

  • 10 different missions in 10 locations
  • about 1000 decorative elements
  • lots of ingredients and toppings in the Coffee Editor
  • lots of customization options, like the Brand Editor or drawing your own Latte Art
  • a whole Sandbox mode
  • 13 languages (including two new ones since the demo - Dutch and Turkish)
  • and many, many more features

We also know that you're already asking about the price of the game - it's going to be $19.99.

But as you probably know, there's also a Community Challenge going on, so there's a good chance that we'll be able to give a discount in time for the release ːsteamhappyː

FYI - We made nearly 2,500 PRs on Github (here are just a few of them) and drank hectoliters of coffee while making the game. 😄





We are glad you are here with us! We hope the game will meet your expectations! We look forward to your feedback. 😄

Espresso Tycoon - NEW TOPPINGS!

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We know that our 3D Coffee Editor really caught your attention, so we have decided to heavily develop it.

We know you're waiting for this...

[h3]NEW TOPPINGS[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

As you can see, you can create a variety of different (and delicious!) recipes.

To make a coffee with toppings like that, we need to do various things, some of which can be complicated.

Whipped cream is a must here, and we started with this:


To finish with that:


As you can see, we have added a few versions of what the whipped cream could look like in the new coffee recipe. We had to work on not only the texture and visual appearance of each new topping but also on its combination with other ingredients.

[h3]Fruits, sprinkles, and more![/h3]

We also have some fruits. You will be able to add them to the coffee you're creating in any order you like. Simply click on them, and they will appear in a random place in your recipe. You can also drag them and place them precisely wherever you want.



Some of them, like sliced oranges or grapefruits, will be used as garnish. We also have sprinkles, cookies, macaroons, and wafers... ːsteamhappyː



Each topping will influence factors such as the number of calories, capacity, temperature, etc. Moreover, it will impact market research. You will see which social groups will love the new recipe, even the craziest one, and which ones will never buy it.



What's more, you can see a customer holding a cup of coffee with the recipe you created!



[h3]Are you ready to unleash your creativity and customize your coffee like never before? ☕️🎉[/h3]

Remember - Espresso Tycoon is coming to Steam on the 7th of June!

NEW LOCATION in Espresso Tycoon - Tokyo

Dear Coffee Lovers,

[h3]Introducing a New Location: Tokyo![/h3]



We should probably say - Last but not least ːsteamhappyː

This is the final mission in Espresso Tycoon, so you need to prepare for a significant challenge. You will have to use all the skills you have acquired so far to complete all the mission objectives.



Each of our locations is distinguished by something unique. In Tokyo, new features include stairs or, more precisely, where they lead. In Tokyo, you have the opportunity to manage a cafe with two different floors, which requires excellent management skills as you have to take care of the customers on each level.

It wasn't easy. We had to:

  • adjust the building
  • add the possibility to decorate the next floor
  • upgrade the customers' path
  • upgrade the seating spots so that customers can choose chairs on each floor

BEFORE

AFTER


In this mission, you will get to know the final social group - Techies.


Technology in Tokyo is a big deal, so you need to make sure your cafe has a Wi-Fi connection, as well as electrical outlets for your customers to use. Remember, you have to pay the bills for this!



We have also put in a lot of effort to convey the atmosphere of a big city like Tokyo.





[h3]Are you ready to conquer Tokyo?[/h3]
