Bug Fixes

Overlapping text

With the addition of longer orders, we ran into an issue where sometimes words would overlap each other on the last line. We've made the overall speech bubbles a little bit wider, and introduced some checks to make sure this bug doesn't continue to occur.

Tutorial Order Replacements

When pressing the question mark next to a menu item to practice it, there was an issue where it would be replaced by a random other order. This has been fixed.

Further Fixes to Empty Orders

A new pesky bug that just won't get squashed. We've introduced a few additional changes to limit this bug, but it will still occur occasionally.

This month we'll be introducing some special food and drinks for specific languages and cultures. Our first addition is the Mexican concha (literally meaning "shell" in Spanish), a type of "pan dulce" (traditional Mexican sweet bread roll). Conchas get their name from their round shape and their striped, seashell-like appearance. A concha consists of two parts: a sweetened bread roll, and a crunchy topping composed of flour, butter, and sugar.

Be sure to let us know on Discord what you want added to your café for your target language!
