addedCountertop UpgradesFirstly, we've noticed that as you all have become more skilled, you've been craving the ability to queue up orders and serve customers even faster. To help you achieve that, we're introducing purchasable countertop spots! You'll now be able to purchase additional spaces to work with during gameplay. This means you can keep more coffee on hand or even some hot water to drop in a tea bag and go! We can't wait to see what creative ways you come up with to use your new space
changedCustomer Greeting UIWe noticed that some players were clicking on customers in line and accidentally skipping ahead to the customer at the counter who hadn't ordered yet. To make it clearer, we've made the greeting button blue, and we hope this helps you avoid any confusion.
changedCustomer Greeting UIAlso, you can catch in the gif below that we've updated the plates to be draggable, just like how cups work.
changed(Korean Only) Strawberry MilkFinally, we've added a popular drink to our Korean options - the delicious strawberry milk! This will now be available as an option for you to serve to your customers as strawberry lattes (and mochas to come).
changedSteam AchievementsAchievements on Steam are now live! If you've purchased and play the game on Steam, it's now even easier to show off to all your friends how much progress you're making!
changedSteam AchievementsIn our next update we'll be delivering our most recent feature poll with various order options. There are tons of ways to order a coffee in English. Think "I'll have a coffee", "Can I get a coffee", "Coffee, please", "Hi! I would like a coffee", and the list goes on. Other languages are no different -- with this update, customers will use different words and sentence structures to order the same items from your store.
