This update took a little longer than usual, as we spent additional time improving several core systems, polishing existing gameplay, and addressing various issues reported by players. v0.6.12 introduces fully customizable key bindings, new Build Mode object actions, staff tags, improved object placement and rotation, easier item handling, and several quality-of-life improvements designed to make everyday café management smoother.
Thank you for your patience while we worked on this update!
New Features
Staff Tags & List Customization
Staff management now includes a new Tag System, making it easier to organize and identify your employees.
You can now assign tags to individual employees.
Create your own custom tags with any name and color you want.
Tags can be used to organize employees by role, responsibility, or however you prefer to manage your staff.
Employees in the staff list can now be reordered using Drag & Drop, allowing you to organize the list however you like.
Custom Key Bindings
A new Key Binding System has been added to the Settings menu.
Controls can now be customized based on your preferences.
You can assign your preferred keys to supported in-game actions.
This makes it easier to create a control layout that feels comfortable for your playstyle.
New Build Mode Object Actions
Interacting with objects in Build Mode is now faster and more convenient.
Objects can now be selected directly with Left Click.
Selecting an object displays its available actions, such as Move, Duplicate, and Delete.
These actions can be accessed directly from the selected object, reducing the number of steps needed when editing your café.
Build Mode Light Controls
A new light control has been added to Build Mode.
Café lights can now be turned on or off without leaving Build Mode, making it easier to see how your café and decorations look under different lighting conditions.
Wake-Up Time Selection
Wake-up time can now be adjusted by entering the time directly, in addition to using the + / - buttons.
Gameplay & Placement Improvements
Improved Object Rotation & Placement
Object rotation and placement during normal gameplay have been improved to make positioning objects easier and more consistent.
Rotated objects now align relative to the rotation of the café building.
This makes it easier to properly align objects with the direction of the café and its walls.
The standard rotation step has been changed to 45°.
Carry Multiple Boxes
The box carrying system has been improved.
Boxes can now be stacked and carried together.
Up to 3 boxes can be carried in a single stack.
This makes organizing deliveries, restocking, and moving products around the café more convenient.
Takeaway Bag Changes
The storage and handling of takeaway bags have been updated.
Takeaway bags can now be placed on shelves.
The old takeaway bag type has been removed and replaced with the new boxed version.
Existing saves remain compatible. Old takeaway bags in existing saves will be automatically converted into the new boxed takeaway bags when the save is loaded.
Plate & Tray Stacks
Increased the maximum number of plates and trays that can be stacked together.
This allows more plates and trays to be kept in a single stack, making work areas easier to organize.
Ice Cream Order Information
Increased the size of the ice cream information shown in customer order details.
Ice cream flavors and order information are now easier to read at a glance.
Fixes
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to display an error during startup and prevent the game from launching.
Fixed an issue where the Main Menu could fail to open when leaving a save and returning to the menu.
Fixed an issue where employees assigned to Staff Waiting Areas on upper floors would not return to their assigned areas after saving and reloading the game. Waiting areas on the ground floor were not affected.
Fixed an issue with the new staircase types where customers could incorrectly detect a staircase two floors above them, causing their characters to tilt sideways.
Fixed an issue where an employee could become stuck if an order was canceled just as they were about to place the item they were carrying onto a tray or takeaway bag. Affected employees could remain stuck with an exclamation mark, unable to continue working or leave after the café closed.
Fixed an issue where wall lights could lose their correct starting orientation after being unpacked, boxed again, and then unpacked a second time, causing them to align diagonally against walls.
Known Issues
We are aware of an issue that can occasionally cause the game to crash while the Discord Overlay is enabled. We are investigating the issue.
