The management game Coffee Shop Tycoon by Riff Studios is getting a new major update today, bringing a revamped user interface, along with a new skill for your cafeteria’s employees: the Roasting Specialization, which will make them better and faster at roasting your own coffee (a feature implemented in their previous major update). Players can get their hands on Coffee Shop Tycoon’s Early Access on Steam for $7.99 / €6,59.
Along with these new features, the next update of Coffee Shop Tycoon implements several quality-of-life and balance changes, like a new spawn rate for the special beans needed to succeed in some of the game’s challenges. Riff Studios is also happy to announce that Coffee Shop Tycoon will soon get new localizations, including (but not limited to) Spanish; stay tuned for more news about it – and check below for more details about this next update.
A FURTHER LOOK INTO THE UPDATE
New UI. A new user interface with a modern and friendly look.
Roasting specialization. Employees who reach level 4 can get the Roaster Expert specialization and automate the roasting process for your shop.
About the generation of bean varieties. Now the green beans required to complete roasting challenges will appear more frequently. Also, the generation of green beans has been adjusted to make sure that there are always bean varieties that can be roasted without consuming roasting points (the currency you earn after completing certain challenges).
New translations coming soon! We’ll get the game ready for supporting new languages in the future. We’re currently working on a Spanish localization patch. One bean at a time!
Bug fixes. You’ll find new bug fixes in this patch too, here you can read here the full list.

Sit back and relax with Little Cities this spring, as the cozy VR city creation game releases exclusively on Meta Quest and Meta Quest 2 on May 12th. Developed by UK indie studio, Purple Yonder, and published by nDreams, Little Cities lets players create beautiful miniature cities in idyllic island settings.
We are delighted to reveal the many locations where you will be able to create your perfect Little Cities, across the game’s extensive campaign. Each island or archipelago will feature diverse themes with each bringing unique gameplay elements that you will need to consider to keep your citizens happy.
Volcanic islands bring the risk of eruptions, but geothermal vents can be used to power cities, whilst desert islands feature sandstorms that can be overcome through the planting of trees. Archipelagos with multiple islands also bring the challenge of building bridges to efficiently connect your different neighbourhoods. Each island also features its own set of unique buildings that you will unlock as your city grows from a humble settlement to a bustling metropolis. These include a thermal spa and a water park on Volcano islands and an aquarium and a stadium on Tropical islands.
For a taste of what you can expect when the game releases on April 21st, check out our latest trailer here:
Little Cities is a city creator with coziness at its heart. With an exquisitely composed soundtrack, the gentle hum of an everyday city comes to life, and the tranquil sounds of nature filters through. Offering multiple ways to play, Little Cities has been built for VR from the ground up and is designed to be accessible for everybody. Sit in comfort, or playroom-scale where you can move around and lean in to view the world you created up close. The intuitive controls make building easy, unfussy, and fun, as you relax and make your biggest creations possible!
Little Cities is the first title to be published by nDreams via their third-party publishing initiative. nDreams also recently announced a $35 million investment from the newly formed Aonic Group that will help expand their third-party publishing operation, with multiple games to be announced over the coming months.
There’s still lots of Little Cities news to share in the build-up to release so follow Purple Yonder on Twitter and nDreams on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram for further updates in the coming weeks.

Summertime Entertainment
Venture into Fiesta Village to be charmed by the colorful and light-hearted showing of Alegre! by the Bob Baker Marionettes, a Southern California treasure since 1963. The entertainment continues with sounds from South of the Border as the Mariachi Angelitas present a lively show filled with rich history and tradition. While in Boardwalk, tune into the coolest station on the dial as our resident K-NOT Radio DJs are back to keep you up to date on all the happenings!
A trip to Knott’s isn’t complete without checking out the shenanigans of Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies in the Wagon Camp. Grab a seat for the most toe tappin’ and downright funniest band of musicians this side of the Calico Mine.

Classic backyard games and festoon lighting will set the stage for guests to enjoy their summer nights at Knott’s. The Party Planning Crew of Summer Nights encourages good ol’ fashion fun and games that keep the party going all night.
A summer night party is not complete without an abundance of food and drinks, and no theme park does food quite like Knott’s. The Knott’s culinary team creates tasty twists to classic summer dishes, from Crab Cake Sliders and Korean BBQ Burgers to Vegan Lettuce Wraps– not to mention Peach and Pineapple Shaved Ice. Guests can experience their favorite summer food in a whole new way at Knott’s Summer Nights.

Guests can catch a ride down 23 different speed, tube, and body slides or take a relaxing trip down one of the longest lazy rivers in the country.

Publisher Wired Productions, Writer / Director Jörg Tittel and pioneering games studio Wolf & Wood are today thrilled to announce that Zelda Williams (The Legend of Korra) and Tommie Earl Jenkins (Death Stranding) have joined the cast of the upcoming narrative adventure The Last Worker. A brand-new trailer, featuring Zelda, as well as existing cast members David Hewlett, Jason Isaacs and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, unpackages the dystopian, thought-provoking world of the game and showcases its stunning hand-crafted visuals.
Visitors to PAX East, (Boston, MA) this weekend can get the world’s first hands-on with The Last Worker, by swinging by the Wired Productions booth at 14030, located at the heart of the show floor.
Zelda Williams and Tommie Earl Jenkins join a star-studded cast alongside Jason Isaacs (The Death of Stalin), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Deep), Clare-Hope Ashitey (Children of Men) and David Hewlett (The Shape of Water).
The Last Worker is a first person narrative adventure centred around our struggle in an increasingly automated world. Combining a hand crafted art style with uniquely immersive gameplay mechanics in an epic setting, The Last Worker delivers an emotional, thought provoking and comedic story packaged with rich characters performed by an all-star cast.
“Who would’ve thought a casual conversation on Twitter in the middle of a global pandemic would somehow lead us here?”, said Zelda Williams. “I’ll be forever grateful that Jörg saw fit to send another battle-weary warrior woman my way, and it was a joy to lend her my voice.”
“Working with such a stellar cast would be miraculous enough on a major feature film or series”, said Writer, Director Jörg Tittel, whose company, Oiffy, is producing the game. “But to have such world class actors lend their talent to an indie game must make me the luckiest man alive. But ultimately this game has been an equaliser, with every team member pouring heart and soul into every minute detail. No matter how dystopian they want to make the real world, ours at least will be full of colour and crafted with love.”
“The anticipation of seeing the first public demo of the game is really building in the studio” , said Ryan Bousfield, Creative Director of Wolf & Wood, “As a collective, we’ve all had a part in shaping the stylised world and unique characters of The Last Worker, but now, to have such beautiful performances from an amazing cast to top it all off, fills us with confidence for the public response!”
“The Last Worker continues to be a thrilling project to work on with the groundbreaking storytelling from Jörg, and the technical genius of Wolf & Wood,” said Neil Broadhead, Head of Marketing, Wired Productions. “With the addition of Zelda Williams and Tommie Earl Jenkins to the all-star cast, we are so excited for visitors at PAX to get their hands on The Last Worker for the very first time!”
The Last Worker will be released in 2022 on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Meta Quest 2.
