We are officially through the first week of launch! The response has been incredible, and I’ve been reading every single comment, bug report, and review. This update is a massive thank you to everyone who joined us in these first few days. I’ve focused on the most requested features and crushed over 50 bugs to ensure your coffee shop empire runs smoother than ever!
[ Additions ]
Mop Combat: You can now swing your mop to hit customers! Simply press Left Click while not looking at a cleanable surface to perform a swing.
Difficulty Settings: You can now change your game difficulty directly from the General Settings menu while in the game.
Note: Players cannot switch to "Custom" or "Hardcore" difficulties via this menu to preserve the challenge and achievement integrity of those modes.
Advanced Recipe Hover Info: Added interactive hover info to the recipe screen. Hovering over an ingredient now shows:
Required equipments
Required ingredients
Specific bonuses provided by different preparation types (Do-types).
Direct Worker Management: Added the ability to assign jobs directly from the PawedIn panel, giving you faster control over your staff’s tasks.
Logo Customization: You can now change your shop's logo directly from the Management panel, right next to the name-changing section.
Enhanced Reputation Mechanics: * Reputation gain has been rebalanced (lowered) to make progression more meaningful.
Customer spawn times are now dynamically tied to your reputation; reaching Full Reputation now reduces the wait time between customers by 50%.
Sound Effect Overhaul: A massive library of new and updated audio has been added to improve immersion:
New Sound Effects:
Scratch Card interactions
Water Spray bottle usage
Mop Swing "whoosh"
Dirt being cleaned
Syrup Pump usage
Cash Register Success (on successful order)
Cash Register Fail (on failed order)
Physical impact sound when an object hits a customer

Machine UI Offsetting: Implemented UI offsetting for specific machines to ensure menus are always easy to read and interact with.
Spray Bottle Accessibility: The Spray Bottle has been moved from the Mysterious Seller’s shop to the main shop, making it much more accessible for peaceful players.
Advanced Syrup Interaction: You can now add syrups to a cup while holding it. Note: The cup must already contain a main ingredient (Espresso, Tea, or Cold Brew) for the syrup to be added.
Scratch Card UI Refinement: Overhauled the Scratch Card interface to make it feel much more tactile and rewarding to use.
Dynamic Price & Stat Rebalancing: * A major overhaul of the shop economy has been implemented to reward high-tier recipes and high-quality furniture.
