To shorten the development time for the [b]first demo[/b], we have decided to focus solely on the [b]inside cafe gameplay[/b] first and expand to outside areas after the first demo testing. During May, we progressed significantly with the coffee-making gameplay, decoration system, and overall visual feel and appearance of the game.
🏆 [b]Crushing milestones![/b]
At the time of posting, we have [b]reached 10 000+ wishlists[/b], up from last month's update of 2000+!
☕️ [b]Day and night system:[/b]
As mentioned in the previous post, we have now implemented a time system along with day and night cycles in the gameplay. Now we can move on to creating the cafe's working hours!
