Hello! I'm Hector, creator of Coffee Shop Tycoon. I want to personally thank you for coming together to support this amazing cause! From June 10th to today, you have bought 367 copies of the game. This might not sound like a big number to some, but for us, a tiny team of three, it means that 367 more people get to enjoy the game that we've poured 8+ years of our lives into making. And that is already a big win!I started this project out of college and worked on it mostly at night or very early in the morning before going to work and during weekends. Later, Roberto and Gaby joined the crew and

Hello! Welcome to another update for Coffee Shop Tycoon, this time we focused on three major areas: Addressing feedback, bringing the game to more players, and modernizing the game. With that, let's start with some changes to retirement. Employee retirement changes We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear, "Employees are retiring too soon". Retirement is supposed to help balance the game to prevent having god employees that can single-handedly do everything after playing the game for a while. It is also a mechanic that tries to simulate employee rotation in real life and put some economic pres

Hello! We are back with another update for Coffee Shop Tycoon! This time, we wanted to address some of the top requested features from the community, starting with roasting and the end-game loop. Auto-roasting and roasting challenges We follow the reviews and comments very closely, and one thing that immediately jumped to the top of the list for us was that the end of the game feels grindy, and roasting stops being fun; for that reason, we made several significant changes. First, we rebalanced all the roasting milestone challenges to reduce the roasting required to complete the milestone by ha

Hello everyone, we hope you are enjoying Summer in the northern hemisphere! To compliment your ice creams and cold brews, we are releasing update v1.2 Full Crew. Towards the end of last year, we celebrated the full launch of Coffee Shop Tycoon, a game that started from a simple idea while I was beginning my journey as a game developer. Along the way, I was able to partner with great people to bring this idea to you. A couple of years ago, we founded Riff Studios, and now we are glad to announce a new member, Gaby, just joined the team! While we are working on cool new concepts and games, we st

Hello everyone! We hope the beginning of 2023 is turning out nicely for you. Here at Riff Studios, we have been working on two new updates for Coffee Shop Tycoon! With v1.1, we are addressing some of the top concerns and bugs you have encountered during your game play-through. We have been monitoring the forums and noticed some recurrent problems we wanted to fix. Here is a list of the changes we are making: Customers now complain about specific missing services. The "wifi" icon is no longer used as the "services" icon for customer thoughts. This will clear some confusion about the customers'

Hello! Thanks everyone for all your interest in Coffee Shop Tycoon, we are very excited to see all the new players brewing and roasting exceptional beans. We have been monitoring the Steam forums and found out two bugs that we wanted to fix as soon as possible. Thank you for all your patience while we sorted this out. v1.0.1 fixes the two following bugs: Fixed a problem where the moon remained locked in early access saves even after completing the "Emerald City" missions. Fixed a bug where the "Best Roast of the year" award wasn't not updating correctly. So far we haven't seen many problems bu

Happy Monday, dear coffee lovers: It looks like a good day to share with you a little surprise, don't you think? It's our pleasure to announce that Coffee Shop Tycoon has officially become a complete game after six years of Early Access stage. Its full-release update is now live on Steam! This version features the Moon as the last unlockable location, a complete rework of the Du Latte Awards, several quality-of-life modifications, and the game credits. However, this is not a goodbye at all -- next month, we'll be sharing the last patch to include 10 sci-fi-themed items and the new employee mod

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25924491/412485386bc918f8229c44218e455df9f9bcfd6b.jpg There is an age-old question about what came first, the chicken or the egg. The origin of Coffee Shop Tycoon is a bit similar. You might wonder, what came first? The love for coffee or the game. Funny enough, the game came first. My name is Hector, and I'm the designer behind Coffee Shop Tycoon and co-founder of Riff Studios. The idea behind the game has deep roots in classic tycoon games I played as a kid growing up. The one that comes first to my mind is Roller Coaster Tycoon. I remember thinking about how amazing it wa

Good morning everyone! Today we come to make you a very special request. As you already know, Coffee Shop Tycoon has been on Steam for 6 years now as an Early Access game and its full version will be released next month. To make it a real success, we need as many visibility boosts as we can get before the game's launch — and certainly, competing in the Steam Awards 2022 would be a big help. For that reason, we're asking you to nominate us for the Labor of Love award. ↑↑↑ Submit your vote up there! ↑↑↑ The Labor of Love category was created for all those games that were released in previous yea

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen: After six years of hard work, we're finally entering the last stage of the early access period. We could say it started with the release of the October patch, but the news we just shared is the real turning point. Due to Valve's particular way of managing price changes, we decided to move forward by December and increase Coffee Shop Tycoon's to $9.99. This action will allow us to offer a release discount next month and extend it until the end of the Winter Sale. The new price will become effective next Monday in the morning (PST), so this weekend you’ll have

Good morning, coffee lovers: Today we have decided to surprise you all by launching the new update you have been waiting for, so you can consider this entry as its respective patch notes. Coffee Shop Tycoon’s full launch is finally coming this December, so we wanted v0.9 to include a lot of relevant changes to help you manage your coffee business in a more complete and efficient way.
