Small Steam Deck & Quality-of-Life Update ☕

A Small Quality-of-Life Update

This update originally started as a small Steam Deck pass, mainly to make the Accessibility menu easier to read and use on its smaller screen. While working on it, I also took care of a few small bugs and improvements that have been reported before but I didn't have time... at the time to take care of them, so here's the list:

• Made the Accessibility menu easier to read and navigate on Steam Deck and smaller screens, especially the Minigame Assistance page.

• Fixed an issue where the Red-Light District could silently refuse an outing with a character who had not reached its Intimacy requirement. The Navigation menu now explains the requirement before you leave.

• Fixed location preview images sometimes remaining grey after viewing a locked destination. (this one wasn't reported by anyone but I found it out by accident today)

• Improved the Journal guidance for Ash’s Coffee Bean Run scene, including clearer instructions for discovering its missing CG.

• Adjusted certain Ash and Jamie outings so eligible undiscovered scenes are less likely to be held back by repeat events. (this one was one of the last ones I wanted to have in before I'd rest for a bit, since a few players have asked for this)

• Fixed also the cross platform saves, I had made a mistake when I set it up but now saves should sync between Linux, PC, and macOS fine.

Thank You for the Feedback

I know this is a small update, but I hope that after all those changes Cozy Cafe feels nicer to play now than it did a week ago (when it released). The reports, reviews, comments, and messages have helped me a lot to understand what I could do to improve the game and I worked hard to try to address the main issues as fast as I could.

What Comes Next

This may be the last patch note for a few days because I have been sick and need some time to rest and recover.

I’ll still keep an eye on Steam comments, reviews, and new reports, and I’ll push another fix if something important comes up.

Otherwise, if the next couple of days stay relatively quiet and the game seems to be in a good place, I may start looking at plotting/planning a small free content update.

I cannot promise this yet because time is limited, and I also need to start plotting out the first DLC, but it is something I would like to consider once I know the current build is stable.

Thank you again for your patience as I worked as much as I could in the limited amount of time on trying to make the game more fun for everyone! 🙏
