Magic Inn 0.77 Improving Staff Management and Stability
[p]Hi everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]Update 0.77 is probably the last update focused on improving the existing game before we move fully into Act 2. I know many of you have been asking when Act 2 is coming, and we’ll be sharing more news about it very soon—I promise it’s getting close.[/p][p]This update focuses on smoothing out core systems and addressing long-standing frustrations before the next big chapter arrives.[/p][h3]Staff Management Improvements[/h3][p]![]()
[/p][p]One major change in this update is to staff management. I’ve decided to remove the feature that allowed you to send staff on vacation. While the idea made sense on paper, in practice it was frustrating to suddenly have missing staff on busy days, and it also introduced some tricky bugs that slowed development.[/p][p]That said, staff still have stamina, and they’ll recover naturally if you allow them to rest after work. The goal here is to keep the system meaningful without making it annoying.[/p][h3]Bedroom Decoration Bonus[/h3][p]![]()
[/p][p]Decorating your bedroom now gives you a confidence boost every morning. This is a small but meaningful reward for players who take the time to make their room cozy and personal—and honestly, it just felt right for a game like Magic Inn.[/p][h3]Recipe Ingredient Visibility[/h3][p]Several players pointed out that there was no easy way to check recipe ingredients unless the recipe was already on the menu. That’s a great point.
With this update, ingredients are now shown directly in the recipe description, making planning and preparation much clearer.[/p][h3]UI Improvements (Ongoing!)[/h3][p]![]()
[/p][p]As with previous updates, I’m continuing to refine the UI. In this patch, customer order displays and staff management screens have been simplified and cleaned up, especially during busy inn hours. There’s still more to do, but things should already feel more readable and intuitive.[/p][h3]Bug Fixes[/h3][p]Finally—thank you so much for reporting issues and sticking with the game. I’m sorry some of these took a while to address, but this update fixes a large batch of reported problems. Hopefully, Magic Inn is now in a much healthier state as we head toward Act 2:[/p]
