Steam Summer Sale, Bug Fixes and The End of the Hipster Bun.

The main fixes in this build are:

• Fixed loading of technology save game file from old save games.

• Fixed bug where the floor tiles wouldn't change when you have more than one area unlocked.

• Fix some missing animations which caused a logic issue with staff using equipment. Added a default animation for the staff to prevent any possible similar issues.

• Fixed bug where staff would wait literally forever to serve if there was food already on the serving station.

• Fixed a bug where the game would complain about there being no free chairs even though there were some.

• Fixed a bug where the customers would fail to use an object and then break when leaving.

• Fixed a bug where the hot take timer would stay on screen even though the hot take bonus was finished.

• Many other small fixes.

In addition Hipster Café is 20% off for the Steam summer sale right now!

Onto something more personal. When I decided to make Hipster Café, I had already been growing my hipster hair bun for quite a while. In fact the Scandi-hipster in the game may bear more than a passing resemblance to yours truly.

I started telling people that I wouldn't cut my hair until I had released the new game. The only problem is, that was in 2018, and the hipster bun kept growing. Games are a lot harder to make than you'd think!

Now the game has been out in Early Access for a while, and it was time to make good on my threat to cut my hair. The last time it met the scissors was actually in 2012, just around a decade ago, and by this point had reached a whooping 83cm length!

So this week, it was finally time to go to the hair dresser and get it chopped off. The hair has been donated to The Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children with cancer. You can help support their work here: https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/

'til next time fellow hipsters!
