Road to our next update

Hello there! It’s been a while since we last posted something here.

Last December, we happily said goodbye to 2021 after releasing the Roasting Update, a new feature that allows you all to create unique batches of coffee from over 1,000 bean varieties from all around the world. Of course, it also included a new selection of high-quality machines to delight your customers, more decoration items and some important changes in the reputation system, plus the usual bug fixes to smoothen the game experience. Now you’ve had enough time to enjoy this wonderful content, it's time to move on and tell us about our short-term plans.

We can confirm the next update of Coffee Shop Tycoon is on the way and, finally, reveal the most important revamps it will bring to the game. Some of these changes were long expected by the community so, without further ado, allow us to introduce them to you:

[h3]NEW UI DESIGN[/h3]
1. We’ll refresh the look of all the game interfaces to match the new style of the Roasting Update.



[h3]ROASTING SPECIALIZATION[/h3]
2. A new specialization in Roasting will be available for your employees when they reach level 5. This one allows them to automatically roast coffee and tweak different settings to prepare the ideal blend for your shop. We’ll be revealing more information about this feature when the update is live, stay tuned!

[h3]GENERATION OF BEAN VARIETIES[/h3]
3. Those green beans required to complete roasting challenges will appear more frequently.
4. The random generation of green beans has been adjusted to make sure that there are always bean varieties that can be roasted without consuming roasting points, which is the currency you earn after completing certain challenges.



[h3]LANGUAGE SUPPORT[/h3]
5. We’ll get the game ready for supporting new languages in the future. We’re currently working on a Spanish localization patch. One bean at a time!

[h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]
6. Fixed a bug that could generate green beans from locked varieties or regions when switching between game saves.

This new update will see the light sometime in the first half of April. Soon, we’ll also make public our full roadmap for this year, which includes two major updates before the full launch of Coffee Shop Tycoon and several post-release additional features. In the meantime, we think you might like us to offer gaming tips, tell the story of Riff Studios and talk about our favorite drink (spoiler: coffee!) in this place. Of course, we will also announce activities for you to join actively such as Q&A sessions or live gaming sessions… but all in due time!



See you in the next entry, enjoy your coffee in the meantime!
