• General Stability: A few behind-the-scenes tweaks to make the game run smoother.
• Korean Language: Fixed an issue where Korean didn’t work at all (oops... Sorry to our Korean players!!).
• Tooltips: Now properly display in your chosen language instead of defaulting to English.
• Recipe Names: Recipe requirements now show localized names, not just English.
• Recipe Requirements: Fixed links redirecting incorrectly, they now take you to the right recipe page.
• Deletion Refunds: Deleting certain objects (like tables with linked items) now correctly returns all of your money back.

• Guitars and Lutes still vanish after first use. They reappear when you restart the game.
• Zooming still requires your cursor to be hovering over the game window.
• Sometimes cats don’t place orders as expected.

• "Unlock Area" Glitches: Those mysterious red fields that sometimes appeared out of nowhere? They're gone! (I think)

• Guitars and Lutes still vanish after the first time they're used.. Magician cats? Nope, just a bug. They reappear when you restart the game though.

• 🧠 Cats Now Think Before Ordering Cats will take a moment to decide what they want. Give them a sec, they're deep in thought 😺

• ⏳ Patience Meter for Customers Customers now get impatient after ordering. The timer begins after they finish thinking and includes: taking the order, making it, and delivering it. If it takes too long... they'll walk out. If they are impatient, they will turn a yellowish color, and if they are angry.. red🔴🔴.

• 💖 Happy Cats = Heart Reactions! Deliver their drink in time and you’ll be rewarded with a cute heart while they’re sipping.
