changedThe whole interface has been rebuilt as a 2000s cafe-management program: every panel is a real window (WAITING.EXE, BUSINESS.DAT, ORDERS.EXE, EVENTS.LOG) , the top bar is a taskbar, and the game boots like an era-true desktop — a lone KAFEOS.exe icon double-clicks itself and the login window pops open. A matching pixel cursor set ships with it (arrow, hand, and a "there's a right-click menu here" hand), scaling with your window size.
changedEvery money/reputation loss shows its reason on screen AND lands in the event log in red at the same moment; gains do the same in green. The log finally reads at a glance.
changedThe event log and the skills list now scroll (mouse wheel / touch drag).
fixedFixed the apprentice's sprite vanishing on the way to break up a fight.
fixedFixed the harsh light flare when clicking arcade cabinets and vending machines.
removedThe arcade coin counter no longer covers the cabinet's name.

  • The repair panel closes itself once the job starts.

  • Fixed the apprentice's sprite vanishing on the way to break up a fight.

  • Fixed the harsh light flare when clicking arcade cabinets and vending machines.

  • Vending machines now warn when the last unit runs out even when the apprentice or auto mode is doing the serving.
