Road Map Updated[/h3][p][/p][h3]Coming Soon: Sandwich Maker Machine[/h3][p]We’ve heard from many of our solo players — especially at higher levels — that keeping up with sandwich orders can get overwhelming.

This machine will automatically prepare an order when you scan a ticket, as long as all the necessary ingredients are available. We’ve already started working on it, and it’s planned for release in September.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]New Localizations[/h3][p]We’re continuing to expand Sandwich Simulator to players around the world! In September, we’ll be adding 7 new languages based on community requests and our long-term goals:[/p][p]Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, and Dutch.[/p][hr][/hr][p]We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on our updated roadmap.
