Hello lovely baristas. Weve brewed a small but important update to make your cafe life smoother and cozier. Croissant Save Fix • Previously, only the croissants already in your inventory were saved. Fresh croissants made in the Bakery Scene were not being recorded. • This has been fixed — croissants crafted in the Bakery Scene are now properly saved when you exit the game, and will be available the next time you continue your run. Machine Output Update • Some machines were only producing a single output regardless of their level. • Updated the output visuals and functionality for machines based on their level, including the Ice Machine and Coffee Brewer. New Game Save Carryover Fix • Starting a new game sometimes carried over certain upgrades or features from an older save file, affecting the first day. • This is now resolved. New games begin cleanly without leftover perks. As always, thanks for brewing with us. More fixes and cozy updates are on the way! ☕🐱

Hey Baristas! ☕🐾 A small patch is here with some minor fixes and polish. v1.0.5 Changelog: • Fixed text issues in the Furniture Shop • Fixed a bug where after calling Pawlice at the end of the day, recipe paper and thermo popups could get stuck • Customer default waiting time changed to 70s + decreasing 15s per day for the first 15 days • Cat toys purchased from the Furniture Shop now extend customer wait time by 10s (up from 5s) • Fixed an issue where the timer continued running when the game was paused for the first time • Fixed an issue where if the Mechanic was called after the day ended and the player entered the bakery scene, machines would never be repaired • Fixed a bug allowing Blender to be repurchased even after reaching max level • Added Butter Bot 🧈🤖 • Adjusted croissant save system again (it worked fine on our end, but hopefully this patch fixes it for everyone 😅) • Fixed an issue where Level 2 Furniture (especially Golden ones) didn’t visually update after purchase Thank you for your continued support and cozy vibes! 💛

Hey Baristas! We’ve brewed another update full of fixes and polish to make your café smoother than ever. Fixes & Improvements • Customer tab in the recipe book has been closed. • Ingredient icons like chocolate and caramel now use spoon visuals instead of knives. • Fixed cold tea pivot issues. • Ingredient lists now display proper dots before each item. • Croissants no longer reset each day — they now stack properly based on what you already have. • Quest spawning logic improved — states now trigger correctly without dependency issues. • Special customers (Milkman and Mechanic) can now appear at the end of the day. • Fixed issue where Info pop-ups stuck after upgrading machines (milk & grinder). • Added day tracking for when each shop gets unlocked. • Permit Shop localization now refreshes correctly when unlocking (syncs with game language). • Starting a new game now clears leftover objects and saves properly. • Thieves can no longer spawn while the Police are present. • Upgrade Shop UI now includes a smooth scale animation when purchasing upgrades. Enjoy your cozy café, and keep those cups filled! ☕💛 Don't forget to give us your feedback by reviewing Cats & Cups on Steam! 💛 - Click Here to review! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45615391/6c31cda24de2065dec69d2e487ee1cc909286b20.png
