This update includes a much needed UI Overhaul. We hope you guys find this update helpful. One of the exceptional features of the New Purchase Menu is that we have combined the "Purchase Foods" and "Table Upgrades" into 1 Menu, also giving us the ability to add more buyable items like decorations, and other functional upgrades.
UI Changes
New buttons!
New Frames!
New player HUD!
New cooking indicators (raw, cooked, burnt) !
New floating UI for cauldron Ingredients where as the last UI blocked your view.
Bugs We Fixed
- Adjusted customer intake to also reflect busy times of the day.
- Fixed a few issues with Patrick properly collecting dirty dishes.
- Fixed a scaling issue with the menus in certain screen resolutions.
- Corrected font scaling for all UI interfaces.
Patch 1.6.1
Hey guys we have some patches for you! We made an attempt to address Patrick's behavior and after 100 runs he seems to be working fine. The player collision with the magic clover has been adjusted. The reputation is working much better giving you much more customers the higher your rep.
We are tackling bugs as quickly as we can. Sorry for any conveniences with how the game runs so far. Thanks for all the feedback and kind words. =]
Update 1.6 Is Now LIVE!
Bugs We Squashed
Fixed the amount of time between customers coming in based on Rep.
Made magic clover more attainable.
Gnomes no longer get stuck on each other in the hallway.
Bread roll chewing sound corrected.
Improved cauldron placement issues.
Features We Added
Patrick can now be purchased at the door in the kitchen for 50 gold per day.
Main menu button added to pause menu.
Added rubbish bin that deletes unwanted foods.
Added name generator for the patrons.
Side Notes
We are still looking into addressing the gnomes getting stuck in indefinite eating. Please feel free to give us feedback if you still experience this issue.
At this time we have still not found appropriate background music for the pub but we haven't given up. ;)
In Design
Multiple Item Carry - Korey, our programmer, is currently working on a prototype inventory system that will allow you to carry multiple clean utencils (including ready foods and drinks).
Might (hint hint) be coming out with decoration options so that you can customize YOUR pub. :)
Shout Outs
We have a special thanks for Chudders, Genises150, and GiOlio inside the game(just a tiny easter egg to show that your support in helping us improve the game for everyone hasn't gone unnoticed). We hope you guys enjoy it! Thank you for your support and feedback. It has been invaluable.
