Hey folks, I'm going to start trying to post these more regularly now that I'm headed into early access. It will mostly be an amalgam of odds & ends from the #toxicant channel on Discord and the devlog, so I would encourage you to follow those if you want things hot off the press.

Some of the feedback from the last beta was that the "on-boarding" was a bit challenging; there was a lot to learn, and not enough instruction. While I'm not a big fan of hand-holding in games, I certainly don't want the initial experience to be frustrating or confusing. To that end, I've added a simple tutorial area. It sets the tone (you spawn in a pitch black room at the bottom of mineshaft!) and introduces some of the basic concepts and controls. It may eventually also serve as a hub for some interesting things (shortcuts a la Spelunky? special buff items?), but nothing really set in stone yet.



I finally got around to adding something I had been planning for a long time: breakable walls! (The satisfaction of breaking walls in DOOM Eternal gave me the extra bit of motivation I needed!)

While it's a fairly small thing in the grand scheme of things, they really add a lot IMO. They'll be used to hide secret rooms more effectively, and create small shortcuts between areas. As well, they can only be broken with certain items, so they will encourage more exploration and resource management.



From the beginning I've been set on not having guns in TOXICANT. I stand by that, but I also recognize that it's a staple in this genre and I feel I would be doing fans a disservice by not including something. To that end, I've prototyped a basic shotgun. There's no guarantee this will be included in the main game, but I am contemplating a secondary mode--sort of like a dream sequence--that will be heavily action focused.



I welcome your thoughts!

This week, we have added some satisfying destruction feedback to the game.

Your defences will now crumble to pieces once destroyed, instead of just disappear:



Sentries are now more efficient, and will attack the next closest enemy, making them much more powerful than before.

Other than that we've balanced the electric grid, by decreasing the amount of time it will stay active, as well as fix a few minor bugs.

Multiplayer is still on track for the end of the month, will let you all know more nearer the time!

A new build is available now!




1) Added Chapter Ending CGs (Art by Lithium_ion),
You can view them in the Hidden Rooms if you've finished the game.

2) Added a few maps outside Northean Harbor (after Chapter 4), and one new (and easy) side quest here.
Also a new village Chapter 5,




3) Added a bit new story in True Ending Route (about 4000 words...The difference between TE and NE routes becomes even greater...hope you'll enjoy it.)

4) Added the above contents in Hidden Rooms
5) Fixed the recipe collection (48 collectable recipes in total) and some typos
Thank 莫狸 and Malandy for their reports!

6) Added a choice to skip Prologue in the 2nd run

Savedata "Chapter 3 END" and "Chapter 4 END" cannot be loaded,
and yt's not recommended to load Chapter 5 savedata because of the changes
Other savedata are OK to use! Sorry for the inconvenience m(_ _)m

Light version is updated to v1.3 as well!
If you still experiencing the problem of missing icons, please check if the game is running in "Vista Compatibility Mode" (The mode may be overwrite when updated. Check the last news for details.)

Hello everyone! After completely formatting my mac, rolling back to the fabric macOS, and reinstalling everything, I was able to build Coffee Shop Tycoon for Mac! I hope everyone enjoys the new update and start creating some cool Spring drinks!

You can read the Full announcement here.



Stay safe and enjoy your coffee.

If you want to get the form of something you'd like to draw. You can do that with Shadowforge. First, you open up a picture. Then you put the alpha value really low, like 0.03. Then you draw any color over it, and if you want it to be like the picture below, then pick Blend Sprite to Sprite after drawing with any color, and it'll have this gray color to it.

I missed drawing the entirety of it, but it should look like this.



And here is the real picture (which was shaded with the Shadowforge gameboy shader).
