[p]Hi everyone, [/p][p]A fresh version of Lakeside Bar is now live![/p][p][/p][p]We’ve made some adjustments and improvements based on your feedback - you can check out the full patch notes here: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Thank you so much for your patience and continued support.[/p][p]
We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused along the way, and truly grateful to have you with us on this journey. 💛[/p][p][/p][p]Lakeside Bar Team[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]🔧 Balance Adjustments:[/p]

• [p]Tweaked restock mechanics for better pacing.[/p]
• [p]Adjusted hidden recipe unlock time and reduced prices.[/p]
• [p]Manager's money collection cooldown reduced (from 10 minutes to 5 seconds).[/p]
• [p]Balanced achievement system:[/p]
  • [p]Adjusted drop rate of certain fishing items.[/p]
  • [p]Changed 100-hour achievement to 24 hours.[/p]
• [p]Reduced required interactions in early game stages.[/p]
• [p]Added reward pop-up notification for demo players.[/p]
• [p]Removed daily wage, by doing so players don’t have to micro manage the game leading to being stuck.[/p]
• [p]Removed hard mode, due to it not adding extra value to gameplay.[/p]
• [p]Separated audio settings: background music, sound effects, and ambient sound are now individually adjustable.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p]Notice: These adjustments mainly aim for the early stage of the game and new comers, old players will not see much of a difference. We apologize for the inconvenience.[/p][p]✨ Thank you all for your support and feedback! We're always listening and improving Lakeside Bar to make it the best cozy experience possible. 🌿[/p][p]📝 Why 24 hours?[/p][p]100 hours felt like too much for the game’s content. We felt 24 hours strikes a better balance - rewarding those who stick around, while staying true to the cozy “day at the lakeside bar” vibe we’re aiming for.[/p]

[p]Hi everyone,[/p][p]Since launch, we’ve been carefully reviewing your feedback and reports. We want to let you know that we’re aware of several key issues currently affecting the game, and we’re actively working on them.[/p][p]Here are the main issues we’ve identified so far:[/p]

• [p]Restocking mechanic is currently unbalanced[/p]
• [p]Imbalance between hidden recipes and regular ones[/p]
• [p]Drop rate for some fishing items is too low[/p]
• [p]Early game required many interactions and tending to the game[/p]
• [p]The 100 hour achievement is unreasonable[/p]

[p]We acknowledge these issues listed above and some other issues have greatly impacted your gaming experience due to our negligence, and for that we deeply apologize.[/p][p]We’re currently preparing an update to address these issues, and we’ll share more details with you very soon.[/p][p]Thanks so much for your continued support, patience, and feedback. We're always listening and committed to improving the experience. 💛[/p]
