Espresso Tycoon News

Dear Coffee Lovers,

[h3]We are pleased to announce the winners of our contest![/h3]



Although we initially planned to select only three pictures of your adorable pets, we received an overwhelming number of submissions that we couldn't resist featuring more!

[h3]You can now see 10 fantastic pets among dozens of submitted by our players and see how they look like in one of the cafes in our game.[/h3]


As previously mentioned, we will be using these pictures as paintings in our Espresso Tycoon. They will be available in the sandbox mode that we are currently developing. ːsteamhappyː



We would like to provide some additional information about the sandbox/freeplay mode. You will have the ability to set various parameters such as the initial money, rating, employees, coffee shop level, and much more. If you unlock a location in the campaign mode, you can select it for your coffee shop in the sandbox mode, too.

However, if you join our Discord channel, we will share a cheat code that unlocks all of the locations from the start of the game. But let's keep that a secret, okay? Check out our Discord channel here: https://discord.com/invite/D8ht5td.

Once again, thank you for your participation and all of the submissions!

[h3]Don't forget to add Espresso Tycoon to your Wishlist ːsteamhappyː[/h3]

Dear Coffee Lovers,

As we mentioned before, we're going to present you all of the locations that we're going to add to our Espresso Tycoon.

[h3]Let's start with Cape Town![/h3]



You start your coffee journey here. And you already know that location from our demo (which is still available!).

You're supposed to learn some basics from the coffee business while running the coffee truck.

Creating that location was also a great journey for us ːsteamhappyː

We started with a truck:


Now you can customize it - change the color, the logo, and the font of the name of your brand.


We wanted our park in Cape Town to be a nice and cozy place to relax.



But it took us a lot of work to get to that effect.

It wasn't only about adding the truck to the park - it was still a bit empty. It needed also a lot of work with the proper lighting or the customers’ path.

(Cape Town - WIP)

[h3]Decorating in Cape Town[/h3]
Decorating is one of the important parts of the gameplay of Espresso Tycoon. We don't have any buildings in Cape Town but you can use a lot of outdoor decoration items to make that place interesting and beautiful.

We have a list with the outdoor decoration items like:

• pallets
  
• sun loungers
  
• new lamps
  
• new plants
  
• and some more!
  

[h3]Meet your first customers[/h3]

In the first mission you meet the first three social groups - Students, Hipsters, and Casuals. Each has different preferences. You're going to meet some more social groups in the next missions.


We also have a lot of animals here (we're in the park, right?)!

We have dogs (and you can buy some dog bowls for them!), cats, ducks, flamingos, swans, and... pigeons ːsteamhappyː



Once you complete the first mission in Cape Town you will be able to move to the next one in New York.

Also - the park in Cape Town will be available in sandbox mode, of course.

Dear Coffee Lovers,

As you already know, we're preparing 10 different locations (and missions) for you in the full version of Espresso Tycoon. You couldn't see all of them in the demo but you could have noticed that they are there 😉


It's time to reveal what's behind these 'Not Available In Demo' parts!

1. Cape Town
You know that location from our demo. You start your journey here. This is a great place to run a coffee truck and an outdoor cafe!


2. New York
Run your coffee shop in a city that never sleeps and has a lot of coffee shops where you can spend time with your... Friends 😉


3. Sao Paolo
Take care of the customers who are always in a rush - because you're running a coffee shop in a subway station 🚇


4. Paris
Enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and exquisite flavors. Conquer the capital of fashion - with your coffee shop in Paris 🥐


5. Siberia
Take a long train trip. A very long one! Don't forget to serve your customers a good cup of coffee - it will be useful for them not to get cold 🚆


6. London
You can already know that location from our first demo and the tutorial added to our Prologue. Improve your management skills and be careful - some say you may get robbed there!


7. Mexico City
Who wouldn't want to relax in a five-star hotel with a good cup of coffee? Take care of your customers who want to enjoy a relaxing stay here. They also want to enjoy some pieces of art! Do you think you'll be able to bring the 'Mona Lisa' here?

8. Sydney
That location is pretty popular. You've chosen the underwater coffee shop as our Prologue's location. Run a successful coffee business and take care of the sea creatures (and customers, too, of course)!


9. Los Angeles
To get to Hollywood - this is the dream of many. And you will be able to run your cafe there! Beach, palm trees, ocean, and good coffee - it's a match!


10. Tokyo
Last but not least! Tokyo is still the world's largest city in terms of population, so you can expect to need a lot of coffee there... Will you manage to take care of so many customers?


Of course, this is just a brief description. We will be presenting each of them in detail soon!
Which one is your favorite?

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We have a surprise for you! We have hidden a chest of treasures in our park in Cape Town!

If you find it, you will get an extra $1000! That will help you develop your cafe, decorate the coffee shop better, order more supplies, and... whatever you want ːsteamhappyː

We also improved some things in the main UI - like removing the arrow buttons nearby the name of the coffee shop or scaling the numbers at the top bar.

Let us know if you could find the treasure!

Your Coffee Enthusiasts,
DreamWay Games
