Better staff tasks, more bug fixes and early access on the way.

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 full content version for review by Valve and hope that will be ready for you all to play very soon. I appreciate that some of you have been waiting patiently for a final version, but I hope you can understand that we believe working with the player feedback a bit longer will get us all the best version of Hipster Café.
The Demo version will remain free if you prefer to wait.

I've just set the latest version of the Demo live. This one includes a big bunch of bug fixes and improvements from player feedback.

Customers shouldn't pepper the social media with pictures of their food quite as often. I wish I had this setting for Instagram too.
Staff should now be able to research on multiple research stations at once if the technology is advanced enough.
Events that previously removed a member of staff if you failed the missions now instead reduce their skills.
Saving and loading games should now be a lot more robust.
Fixed a number of issues where Tooter would render the messages strangely.
Removed some questionable/offensive content from the string builders that generate the Tooter content.
Fixed a lot of staff issues where their equipment was moved or sold.
Fixed a number of bugs with the in game feedback form.
Plus many other minor bug fixes.

I also found the source of a bug which breaks the coffee maker on some computers. If this happens on your computer, you need to make sure you have installed bot the X86 and the X64 version of the Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft. You can find these here:
