Hello, fellow raccoon and coffee lovers!
We’re a bit late with both our devlog and Alpha, but we have a good reason for it!
Back in May, we applied for Raising Starts, a startup accelerator program organised by the Science and Technology Park in Belgrade, and we were accepted into the first phase! Over the past month, we got a crash course in running a business, finances, and everything in between, and finally got to pitch our game in front of a jury.
And all that hard work paid off, we received funding and mentoring support for the next six months! We’re beyond happy and excited about this! We’ll be bringing more people onto the team to help us speed up development, create music for the game, and localise it into seven languages!
We were also part of the Wholesome Game Celebration on Steam, and we’re incredibly grateful to have been chosen for it. It helped us immensely! Our game was shown to a huge audience, mostly from the US, and we gained over 3,000 wishlists, bringing us to 6,000 wishlists in total! 🥹
That number is huge for us. Just thinking about 6,000 of you somewhere on the other side of the world getting excited about this silly little game makes our hearts burst with joy! Thank you for being here and supporting us. We’re truly grateful, and we promise we won’t disappoint you! ❤️
Now, we’re finally back to working on Alpha! We’ve already made a ton of progress, but there’s still plenty to do. Here’s what’s new:
A completely redesigned kitchen
Game onboarding
A new mopping mechanic
The cooker machine now has two liquids that you need to switch between
You can now swap items
Little icons above your head show what you’re carrying
A brand-new Encyclopedia where you can learn more about customers, ingredients, and drinks
The first planet has received a fresh new look!
We’re planning to wrap everything up by the end of August. Sorry again for the delay, and thank you so much for your patience! ❤️
If you haven’t signed up for our Alpha testing yet, you can do so here!
Thank you for reading, and talk to you soon!
Stay silly!
