Hello!
As you know, we are collecting your feedback and preparing another update for our game. We want to make sure that the update is well-prepared and will not introduce new bugs. Nevertheless, we understand that you are eagerly awaiting these changes, and we have come up with an idea.
You can help us out! ːsteamhappyː
You can join the ranks of our testers!
We have introduced a lot of changes that you can already test on a separate branch on Steam. You must have purchased the game first in order to switch to the testing branch ːsteamhappyː
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.
3. Choose the proper branch
And that's it!
Here's what we've done and we need to check if it's working well:
- automating the payment of electricity and internet bills - now the Handyman can take care of it (you have to hire them first ːsteamhappyː )
- less annoying thief - we have changed the frequency of the thief and he will not always steal the most expensive items now
- we corrected the calculation of the coffee speed percentage
- we fixed the problem related to the goal in the mission in Paris (regarding making coffee with toppings) - now, the use of any toppings will complete the task
- we have fixed the carpets that were not allowing customers to stand on them (and sometimes blocked the entrance to the coffee shop)
- the cash register sound is more pleasant
- we have made some corrections to the Japanese, French, and Korean translations
- we have improved the counting of supplies and supply priority (previously it was possible that you could have all the right ingredients, and it still showed that you could not prepare coffee)
- we also improved the way of hanging paintings (in some places it was difficult to hang them)
- we corrected the fact that Hot Chocolate was appearing in the Supplies window in two different places
- customers in Cape Town (Sandbox) will no longer give negative reviews for lack of AC and lack of plants
- we improved research in Sandbox (no longer will search for items such as "No Fruits" in the Coffee Editor
- we fixed customer avoidance of certain deco items
- we fixed the fact that the allow animals button did not load right after loading a previously saved game
- we improved placing on long conveyor tables
- we fixed the texture on the vintage lamp
- we fixed the British Sofa (you couldn't put it in some places)
- we fixed an issue where you could not pick supply box in the park if it landed in the river
- and some other minor bug fixes 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. 😃
