Finally, after receiving quite a bit of feedback, we have released our first major update to the game demo!
Feedback: the tutorial is still overly-verbose, confusing, and/or difficult.
Response: major overhaul of the tutorial, which is now much simpler, cleaner, and more interactive! You can also skip it entirely if you want.
Feedback: some of the orders are too difficult
Response: added an "outcome list" button to help you out during coffee making. The list persists across playthroughs, so each new game (this includes reloading saves to retry an order) becomes a little easier if you use it!
We'll also be sure to appropriately balance the orders in the full game, making it easier to figure out what you need based on dialogue and other hints.
Feedback: guestbook and recipe book shouldn't take up the entire screen during coffee making, it should be open on the side.
Response: that's exactly what we did! The guestbook and recipe book are open on the right side UI during coffee making, so you can keep that recipe book open while you work. Very handy!
There's also many other improvements and bugfixes included.
Full list of changes:
- overhaul of guestbook and recipe book during coffee making, it's much cleaner and easier to use
- overhaul of tutorial: more interactive and much easier to understand now
- add option to disable tutorial
- addition of "Outcome List" button during coffee making: the list persists across playthroughs, which makes it easier to explore all the outcome combinationss across multiple playthroughs
- prompt when buying Ibrik Coffee reminding you that you can only make it using Ibrik Brew, obviously
- many other fixes and improvements
- Chelly is a little bit cuter now!
Please give the new demo a try, and let us know what you think!
