In-game event10 Jun 2022Faster mid - late game research, increased effect of staff equipmentI've just set the latest build live. This one includes a whole bunch of fixes to the staff equipment, including new animations for some of the equipment that didn't have them. The staff equipment now has a much bigger impact on how fast the staff will perform the different tasks, so there should be a more visible improvement in speed when they're using the upgraded equipment. In addition the re…
This update is focused on improving the Latte Art portion of the game and other small improvements based on player feedback. First of all the settings for the brush should be a bit better by default now, with a bit lower liquid speed and smaller brush by default. You can now click the hipsters in the latte art to get a drawing hint. The dotted outline that appears is one example of a drawing th…

Since launching the free demo of Hipster Café in Steam Next Fest in February, we've had an incredible amount of invaluable player feedback. We want to keep working with our players to make sure the game is the best it can be, and we think the right next step for that is to enter early access. With that in mind I've just set the Early Access version live on the store. A huge amount of content is…
Over the past few weeks we've had the free demo available and the player feedback from that has proven invaluable in improving the game. However it's also clear that the game is not yet fully balanced and polished. We want to continue to work with our players to make sure the game is the best it can be, and we think the right next step for that is to enter early access. I've recently submitted…
The latest version of the demo has just gone live. This build focuses on fixing bugs, and updates the starting tutorials with the changes that have been made to the gameplay over the last few months.

I've just set live the latest build of the Demo. This update focused on making sure it was more easily playable on a range of computers, as well as performance and bug fixes. The game uses a dynamic form of lighting that bounces the light around and traces reflections in real time. Even though the game style perhaps looks simple, these lighting calculations can be quite heavy for the computer a…

As well as these changes to the gameplay based on player feedback: · Hipsters will now use the same entertainment item twice, if they have more than one of the same need.
