Press release:
The Seattle-based (the US) indie games developer Riff Studios today announced with great delight and thrill that they have just released the v0.9 update for their coffee shop management game “Coffee Shop Tycoon” (the said update is available right now for PC via Steam).

Furthermore, Riff Studios has also just announced that the v0.9 update will be the very last and final Early Access update before the game’s full release in December of this year (2022).

The 0.9 Update adds a new leveling system, introduces customer opinions, fully functional condiment bars as well as other new features and fixes. Players can take a further look at the update in this new dev blog entry and get their hands on Coffee Shop Tycoon’s Early Access version on Steam for $7.99 / €6,59.

0.9 UPDATE NEW FEATURES
New leveling system. Fans, and not levels, are the new measure for progression in-game. Before, there were only 11 levels based on the store’s reputation. Now, that limit no longer exists so the game will become more challenging: the more famous a shop becomes, the more demanding its customers will be!
Players can now take a look at the customers’ opinions. They will have thought bubbles expressing their opinions about your coffee or your service and there will also be a dashboard to check all that information in the same place.
Store icons have been revamped.
Employees can have custom names.
Pathfinding fixes, that no longer let customers get stuck in front of a cashier.
