Hello!
The next update Espresso Tycoon is coming soon! As always, we want to be sure that it is well-prepared and will not introduce new bugs.
We also know that you like testing with us - so let's do that again! ːsteamhappyː
You can already test our new improvements on a separate branch on Steam. You must have purchased the game first in order to switch to the testing branch ːsteamhappyː
Let us remind you how you can do that.
To access the branch on Steam, follow these steps:
1. Open the Properties of Espresso Tycoon in your Steam Library.
2. Enter your password there. You can see it on the screenshot (if you already typed the password there in the previous beta tests, just switch the branch).
3. Choose the proper branch
And that's it!
Here's what we've prepared!
We added... a manager!
It was one of the most frequently requested mechanics in our voting. That is, it was YOU who chose it ːsteamhappyː
A manager will take care of your supplies.
They will order the supplies that are running low. Additionally, they will order more if they are needed for the new coffee recipes.
Thanks to the manager, you won't have to remember to constantly order more ingredients; they will also be arranged for instant delivery. However, it won't be that simple – the manager's salary can be quite high!
Just like other employees, the manager can undergo training, and their salary can also be adjusted. You can also fire them if you need to.
You may ask - when can I hire a manager?
You need to have at least 4 Golden Beans to unlock this feature. In the Campaign mode, we're unlocking this mechanic in the 7th Mission - so in Mexico City.
Of course, in the Sandbox mode, you can hire a manager in each location. And you can even set them to work 24/7.
We would like you to test if everything works well with the new feature and - do you like the manager? ːsteamhappyː
For those who do not want to test our beta update - thank you for your patience! As soon as we are sure that everything works well, we will upload it to the official update ːsteamhappyː
Remember, that sometimes there might be a problem starting the mission after the update. This issue could be related to Steam and not the game itself. If you encounter a problem like that, please check your local files here:
Sometimes Steam can have issues with updates, and this is a simple solution. 😃
Let's play! ːsteamhappyː
