Dear managers,
It’s been a little over two weeks since the launch of PBS, and first of all, I want to thank you for your feedback, both positive and negative. I was truly moved to see that some of you have already spent dozens and dozens of hours in the game. For me, it’s both an honor and a responsibility: to make sure you are fully satisfied.
The first update of the ⬇️ Roadmap ⬇️ is now in development. This devlog is here to give you a sneak peek of what we’ve been preparing for you.
New decoration items
In this upcoming update, a first wave of new decoration items will arrive, giving you more ways to personalize your brasserie and add your unique touch.
The customization system will also be improved with the ability to copy the style of one item and apply it to another in a single click. Example: select a table with the roller to copy its style, then apply it directly to other tables.
Another highly requested feature: the interior walls of the brasserie will now be separated, allowing you to customize the ground floor and the upper floor independently.
The double swing doors will also become customizable, so they can perfectly match the style you’ve chosen.
New items included:
New textures for interior walls
New textures for floors
New tables
New plants: for floors, walls, and tables
New lamps: for walls, ceilings, and tables
Two new bars
Three new staircases
New storefronts replacing the current one (the red curtain with your brasserie’s name)
We’ve created a variety of styles so you can shape the atmosphere that suits you: classic, rustic, modern, chic — or even mix multiple vibes (one style on the ground floor and another upstairs).
Here’s a preview of some of the new decorations — but not all of them 🤐
Tip: start saving up some money in your brasserie, because these new features won’t be free 😉
New dishes
As you may know, in France food is a true institution. But this passion goes far beyond our borders: all around the world, players have confessed to drooling over the dishes in the game and asking for more!
Our artist is hard at work producing as many new recipes as possible. It’s a time-consuming process, as each dish is carefully modeled and hand-painted (no artificial intelligence here!).
At the time of writing this devlog, we already have three desserts and two dishes (one still in progress). Here’s a sneak peek: the Mille-feuille, the Madeleines, and to finish on an alcoholic note, Canelés. The most observant among you will also notice the new plate design 🍽️
Overhauled day system
Based on your feedback — and our own experience — we realized the game was missing a clear framework to give rhythm to your days. Time used to flow endlessly, making it hard to know when to take a break, place orders, or check your sales. We’ve decided to add a system that keeps freedom for those who enjoy it, while bringing more structure overall.
Time still runs on a 24-hour virtual cycle lasting a total of 30 real minutes:
- At 6 AM, your brasserie opens automatically (unless you’ve already opened it earlier yourself).
- At 11 PM, the doors close and time freezes. You then finish serving your last customers and must go to the computer to end the day. Three choices are available:
Free time: time resumes and you can do whatever you like (decoration, orders, etc. — yes, night orders will be possible).
Skip to the next day: time advances automatically until 5 AM, just before reopening.
Continue service: time resumes immediately and the brasserie reopens automatically.
Steam Achievements
Over 30 achievements will be available, organized into tiers, to provide new challenges for mission lovers and completionists aiming for 100%.
Quality of Life improvements (QOL)
Alongside the major new features, this update will also include many fixes and changes to make your experience more enjoyable. They will all be listed in detail in the patch notes, but here’s an early preview:
- Added a difficulty system
- Night orders enabled
- Bread now served by the receptionist
- Ingredients and Menu apps merged for easier stock management
- Sodas are now placed directly on the bar instead of in the mini-fridge
