Good afternoon everyone, it's been a very long time since we've been in touch and we regret it a lot, this project was not developed in the right way, so to fix or improve it - sometimes it can take a lot of time and effort, and if there are critical issues - it can take months, unfortunately. That's why we are now refactoring the code and the project as a whole, so that we don't have such problems in the future...
We are working hard on the Farm DLC balance, we get a lot of feedback from you, and we are grateful for it. All your wishes and comments have already been taken into account and will be included in this patch..
We want to apologize for not getting in touch for so long, now everything will be different. Our task is to bring the project to perfection, that's what we are doing now. We can't give you an exact release date for the current patch, because we have encountered a lot of problems and we don't want to give you a bad game, we need some more time. But we are working hard to make it happen as soon as possible.
In parallel with the patch - we started the development of free DLC for you - Cafe Owner Simulator Hotel DLC, where instead of building next to the cafe - you will be able to open your own hotel, and expand the business even more, the add-on will be completely free and will give Cafe Owner Simulator new colors and possibilities! Cafe Owner Simulator Hotel DLC will be released almost immediately after the current update.
Also, after the release of the patch - the team that is porting to PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch - will take care of porting the new version, so console players will also get the long-awaited update!
