May Monthly update: Themes & Remappable Controls & more!

AcuteOwlStudiosteam_community_announcements

1524d ago

Edit: The live push earlier today around 11am PST had a bug in it, so we rolled back to the previous version then reuploaded with a fix. Just a heads up in case you played it during that time, you may have run into a few issues regarding the hub screen showing a different language than English and the play button not working or the shop screen only showing "Table and chairs" or the recipe screen only showing "Grilled Cheese Sandwich". Once again, I want to thank our discord and steam community for helping with bug reports and feedback to improve the game. Tim and I have been working hard to make Bone's Cafe better and are excited for the next few months of updates to add more content, balances, and fixes. The big changes in this update are the new sprite themes you can purchase from the pause menu and the remappable controls you can access from the main menu. We've also changed some controls to make the remappable controls easier to use. It might feel a bit awkward at first if you have already gotten used to the controls. Hoot Hoot! -Acute Owl Studio Version: 0.9.99EA Patch Notes New Features:

You can now purchase kitchen themes. These themes will replace the default kitchen furniture sprites with a themed set. Currently there are three themed sprite sets: 70’s Diner, Asian Cafe, and Cozy Cottage.
Key/buttons are now remappable. Ever felt frustrated at using WASD or IJL? Feel free to use whatever key/buttons you’d like to use. Access the controls remapping screen in the main menu.
Minions will now have a ‘?’ mark above their head when they’re idle for 20 seconds. This was added to allow players to visually see when a minion is idle and fix any issues that may have occurred.
Minions can now be de-summoned in mass by holding down the summon button.

Changes:

You can now hold the chop/grind key to automatically process an item.
Player speed has slowed down and the selector offset has been reduced. This should help make the controls and targeting feel a bit easier to control.

The premium ingredient inventory is now displayed on top of the kitchen menu.

Whatever species is selected will be attracted to the VIP table first and then regular tables. Perfect for selective butchering!
