Coffee Shop Tycoon News

Hey everyone! v0.4.7 is live, this includes improvements to the store map, unlocking stores and Boost system. Due to scheduling issue I won't be able to post the patch notes until next week, but I wanted to make the update live so everyone can try it out during the weekend.

See you next week, enjoy your coffee.

Hello, a new version is ready! If you would like to try it, simply follow the steps below and select the branch called 'beta'. This update includes improvements for store navigation, and unlocking stores, it also adds useful information for the current boosts, and introduces the concept of negative boosts, currently only triggered by the reviewer. Full patch notes coming soon, for now, have a quick peek at some of the new features.




To play the beta you just have to opt in to the beta branch called ‘beta’, here is a quick article that shows you how to do that:

Known Bug: (MAC)Texture glitch on home screen.

Enjoy your coffee.

Hello, I'm prioritizing the following updates and I want your input on what you will prefer to see first, there are two major features coming, I'll briefly explain what the two features are, and I will give you a link to a poll on twitter, feel free also to comment here.

New Shop Location - This feature will include a new location, new items, and a new challenge to beat.

AI Store rivals - This will add simulated rival stores and allow you to compare market share, buy out companies/shares, change customer demand based on market, and probably add the option to change your drinks/food price to compete against other stores. NOTE: You won't see their physical store but rather an interesting set of stats.

I hope you are having a great week and please let me know what you think. Enjoy your coffee.

Hello everyone, for the last updates I have been working on giving more customization options, from changing the walls’ colors to now managing your shop’s branding. The new update adds two new features, custom logo/uniform color and custom logos.


Now you can pick your favorite icons and images and use them as your shop’s logo, just got to the branding options by clicking on your shop’s logo and start adding new logos, square images will work best as rectangles will be resized to fit the logo size. If you don’t like the logo anymore you can simply delete it by moving your mouse over the icon and clicking the trash can.




Logos used to be a single image that included the icon and the background, a similar story happened for the cup’s texture, so you were stuck with the colors I had picked. Now you can change that, every logo has a customizable background color, this includes custom logos if the image has transparency, feel free to try any combination that works best for your shop, this color will be used for your coffee cups and employee uniforms too, so they will dress according to your branding.




This update also includes some bug fixes for Mac, including a problem getting the “Creator” achievement, a bug storing custom drinks, and a bug where the HQ Marketing options were not working on Mac.


This is the last customization update for now as I will start focusing on more meaty features, the following are the things I’m planning on adding to the game, starting with rival stores (AI) and more table options.

• Rival stores(AI)
  
• Improved grid system, more table options (shared tables, tables against walls)
  
• Categories for store items (Tables, Chairs, Decoration, etc.)
  
• New Location
  
• Improved customer feedback system
  
• Help Section
  
• Steam Workshop
  

I hope you have enjoyed the updates so far and stay tuned as many more things are coming. Enjoy your coffee.

The latest update is live on the beta branch so you can try it out before it goes live officially, the new update adds the ability to customize your branding color which affects the logo background color and your staff's uniforms, you can also add custom logos now! I hope you like the new customization options, and I will be announcing what is coming next after the update goes live.

[Images coming soon as uploading images to Steam is not properly working]
