Get ready for a huge update!
I have been working on a lot of content and features for the game to prepare it for the release! (Release date announcement "soon" :D)
The cool thing is that the demo is also getting updated to benefit from all those improvements! And also few more items are now part of the demo! Thanks again to everyone who gave feedback via Discord or the form. A lot of the feedback and suggestions shaped the fixes and changes which are part of this update, and I still have a lot of things I want to do for the full release, so keep the feedback coming! 🩵
As always, join the Discord if you like! 🎏 Discord community
2 little spoilers (for the full game) in the gif :)
Added a brand new soundtrack which was made for Sushiamo by Tamir! (The music will also change depending on where you are in the game!)
Added translation for Italian and Spanish! (In beta for now, we made sure to triple check everything, but there might be small errors/typos)
Listening to the feedback, now when an ingredient is disabled by a boss, it's still "seen" by other ingredients, so for instance ", The Wrap Hater" boss will disable the nori from scoring, but the rice will still be able to see it and apply the x2 flavour to toppings.
Created a brand new Reward screen to show the bonus you get for completing an Omakase, and it's fully dynamic, so it will show the ingredients being upgraded, for instance!
Reworked Omakase rewards so now you get to pick between 3 items at the end of the service! (instead of having only one item predetermined). This applies only to item rewards tho, bonus reward are unchanged.
Now, when the scoring takes too long, it will accelerate its speed automatically, so it doesn't take forever when you use broken combos :D (You can enable that to happen automatically from the settings or just click the fast forward button, which appears when the scoring is long)
Added the ability to reroll the upcoming Elite Client in the Market (once), but at a cost... (find out in the game!)
Enable the new CRT filter by default for new players (You can still disable it from the accessibility settings)
Reworked the Bin system: now you can use it unlimited times, but the price increases every time
Improved a looooot of item descriptions and texts to improve clarity
Added 1 new box, 2 more tools and 1 more sauce for the demo :) (no spoilers!)
You can now see the map when in the market!
You can now see the pantry while inside the map!
Added a setting to customise controller glyphs in the accessibility menu
Added a confirm step for the restart button to prevent accidental restarts :)
Added a new setting to change the monitor the game opens in
Added a new label to show the day of the map stop in the tooltip
Added the ability to lock one item in the Market so they carry over to the next one! (No more losing cool items because you have no money!)
You can now see the highest service score reached for each pantry, notebook and difficulty (in the new run screen)
Improved usability for the controller, adding more button mappings for things like buy/sell/use etc. and making menu navigation smoother. (Example: You can now press B to deselect all cards in hand)
Added a counter at the bottom of the Pantry screen to show the available ingredients over the total ingredients (i.e. 14/20)
Now you can open the pantry while deciding if you want to accept or not an Omakase Bonus reward
Pantry icon is now using the proper icon of the selected pantry yayyy
Now, undiscovered events and bonus rewards are picked more often, so it's easier to discover them all
Box rewards, training and Elite client animation can now be sped up by clicking the screen
Improved the text effect of modifiers and variants to be more readable
Now the Market for an upcoming Elite client will show the reward as well
Improved the line which shows the interaction between ingredients during scoring to look much better
Changed the label to show the selected ingredient to be more readable (As suggested from the feedback form, thanks!)
Reduced the pause before calculating the sushi score
Improved some box assets to make it easier to distinguish them
Made most of the Elite client messages non-blocking so the player can continue to play while they are displayed (this speeds up the game flow a bit)
Improved the tooltips to make the title stand out better
Manually seeded runs now disable Steam achievements, permanent stats, and unlocks
Made the "Make" and "Scrap" flow quicker by starting the card animation together with the -1 shown on the counter
Changed the button "Leave Game" to "Leave Run" for clarity

Reduced some pauses during the retrigger animation for ingredients to make the scoring faster
Improved the CRT effect for the Steam Deck
Improved the performance for the load of the pantry and the collection
Changed some unlock requirements to be easier to achieve
Made the "Odd" and "Even Calendar" tool show if they are active or not in the description (Thanks for the Google form feedback requesting this!)
Reworked some modifiers and variants to be more powerful
Reworked some tools, sauces and ingredients to be more powerful
Adjusted a lot of item prices to be more in line with the power and rarity (too many to list in the changelog)
Adjusted some items rarity
Balanced where some Elite Client can appear (which day of the run)
Reworked some boss effects to be more balanced (some are now easier, some are harder)
Removed decimal digits when showing percentages in the run bonus (in the pause menu)
Fixed lamp position so it doesn't rotate behind the sauces
Fixed a bug where the bin didn't re-check for pantry size when the pantry size changed during the market
Fixed a bug where "Wasabi Overdrive" was reducing money to 0 in some special cases

Fixed an error where the "XO Sauce" couldn't apply its effect

Fixed "Highest service score" to avoid showing it if 0
Fixed "Golden Receipt" bug calculating the tips as negative at the end of the service
Fixed "Rental" tool variant price to not increase with the market price mult (it should always be 1 yen)
Fixed a bug where "Tool Catalogue" discount was more than the description says when the price mult is higher
Now, when ingredients change during a boss, the disabled status will be re-evaluated with the new ingredient. (Example: Keto boss disabling rice, but the player using liquid nitrogen sauce to change it)
Reduced the brightness of the CRT effect on the Steam Deck
Fixed the icon used by the game to open the pantry for the Steam Deck
Fixed controller navigation in the map, which was being reset to the start when navigating too far to the left
Pause the game automatically when the controller disconnects
Fixed an issue where clicking the button very quickly on the receipt at the end of the service skipped the payout
