The wait is almost over. One week from now Birb Café will finally be going live on Steam!
This news also comes with the last major update for the game demo...
... a complete rebalance of the coffee making stats.
Why?
While our testers could figure out which stats are required based on dialogue hints, the actual numbers were nearly impossible to figure out without painful trial-and-error, as they were too confusing and arbitrary from order to order. This was also impossible to balance (believe me, we tried), so we did the next best thing: simplify it!
The bean now adds a "greater" amount of stat, the sweetener a "lesser" amount, and combined they become an "overwhelming" amount of stat.
This is both much more intuitive and provides better feedback to the player as to what they did wrong (or right!)
