Update v0.4.0 - We Weren't Finnished Yet Update

A huge new update for Finnish Pub Simulator has been released. You've finally sold your pub in North America and moved to a nice cozy Finnish country town. Congratulations on your new purchase!

[h2]Changelog[/h2]

  • Sold your pub in North America and moved to a nice cozy Finnish country town
  • The following are no longer part of the game:
    • Bar Taps
    • Kegs
    • Drinks Cupboard
  • Replaced kegs with a blue crate that holds 24 bottles (these are also cheaper)
  • Reduced the quantity of some alcoholic beverages to account for the keg change
  • Updated the packaging for all alcoholic beverages so that you can both see the contents inside the packaging and see it visually empty or fill up
  • Replaced the drinks cupboard with a static drinks cupboard that is always behind the bar and doesn't need purchasing
  • Updated both the fridges and the drinks cupboard so that you can see their contents, which will accurately reflect what has been placed inside of them
  • Updated the drinks glass model to actually be a glass instead of a small vase
  • Updated inventory ordering to use a phone instead of a stack of books
  • Removed the "WE ARE CLOSED/OPEN" sign in favour of opening/closing the front door of the building
  • Updated the spawning logic for purchased items to include a random delay
  • Replaced the radio with a jukebox
  • Improved pub closing logic so that you can now close the pub when everyone is outside of the building - no more waiting for them to despawn!
  • Updated the drinks tray so it can now hold 9 glasses instead of 5
  • Updated tutorials
  • Updated NPC speech with Finnish voice overs and new voice lines (which will reflect the type of character they are portraying, such as: drunk, old, feminine, etc.)
  • Fixed the order inventory menu showing in-appliance totals as bottle count rather than millilitre quantity for anything inside the drinks cupboard
  • Various QoL improvements


[h3]Important note for those of you with existing save files[/h3]

Due to the massive change that 0.4 brings you will notice the following when you load an existing save file for the first time:

  • All of your fridges, drinks cupboards, bar taps, and tables will be gone (you will receive a full refund for these)
  • All of the contents from your fridges and drinks cupboards will slowly appear next to you
  • All of your kegs (both empty, in bar taps, or in your inventory) will be converted into the blue crate with all 24 bottles
  • All of your boxes with alcohol in will also slowly appear next to you, with quantities being adjusted if needed


This will be a one-time occurrence for each save file, and when the game next saves at the end of the day it will permanently be moved over to save file version 4.

Update v0.3.1

A new update for Finnish Pub Simulator has been released.

[h2]Changelog[/h2]

  • Fixed the box for a single bottle not colliding with other boxes
  • Fixed customers stealing a glass if they came to the cash register and then immediately left or were refused service
  • Added a tooltip to the pub unlockables UI which shows what each alcohol pack contains when you hover over it
  • Updated customer ordering system so that customers will only order items that are on your menu (i.e. you have purchased the item at least once)
    • Beer Pack 1 is exempt from this rule
  • Updated how customers pay for their orders so they should now give more realistic amounts
  • Updated Spanish localization

Update v0.3.0 - Rowdy Customers Phase 1

This update includes our initial work on bringing rowdy customers into the game. This is something that will be an iterative process and is far from final. We'll tweak this first phase if we find its happening too much or not enough, and then we can move onto phase 2.

Right now rowdy customers only have one action that they carry out which is throwing a glass. You will receive a visual and audio cue for this. Once we move past this initial phase this will be one of many increasingly aggressive actions they will do.

We've also done some work regarding the levelling system as it was seeming to be quite a long process for many players. You may find that with this change you have more XP than required for the next level, however that will rectify itself via an unlock point when you next earn XP.

[h2]Changelog[/h2]

  • Fixed late joiners not seeing the correct date in certain cases
  • Fixed being unable to save options when you return to the main menu after being in the pub

  • Fixed various issues with graphics settings randomly resetting when loading into the pub or going back into the options menu (especially when in windowed mode)
  • Fixed puke splats spawning in the air
  • Added the first round of rowdy customers. Depending on various factors they have the chance to throw a glass when they are done drinking
    • Added an achievement related to this: "Not in my Pub!"
    • Added two extra ways to earn XP when a rowdy customer is present
  • Added the ability to show appreciation to your friends and customers by pressing the "1" key
  • Added a sound effect when you earn a new unlock point
  • Added progress towards your next unlock point in the VCR menu
  • Added an option to invert your mouse Y axis via Options -> Graphics which defaults to off
  • Added an achievement for those of you that have the late license: "Red Eye"
