Steam Next Fest Starts - Next Fest Update is Live!

Gameplay & Balance

Economy Adjustments: Various item prices and building costs rebalanced, Salted Beef, Flour, Honey Cake, Kitchen upgrades, and old carpets all tuned for better progression flow.

Tip System Overhaul:

• 2-chair tables now give 20 coin tip

• 3-chair tables give 30 coin tip

• 4-chair tables give 40 coin tip

• Single bench large tables give 60 coin tip

• Double bench large tables give 60 coin tip

• All other large tables give 80 coin tip So now table pricing is way more meaningful.

Gambling:

• Consecutive gambling limit set to 3 plays (No bankrupt at day 1, no broken families.)
