Hey Baristas and Fledglings,

We’re beyond excited to share that Call of Boba had an incredible turnout during Steam Demo Fest! Your enthusiasm, feedback, and support truly blew us away. It’s amazing to see so many of you enjoying our cozy little game 🥹

A Huge Thank You!
First off, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who played the demo and provided feedback. Whether you were making the best Boba ever or plundering dungeons, your comments and feedback is helping us make the game the best it can be!

Key Changes and Fixes (Based on Your Feedback!)
We’ve listened closely to your feedback and have made some exciting improvements to the game! Check out the list of fixes and updates we’ve implemented ( live right now in the steam demo version!) to make your experience even smoother and more fun:

Bug Fixes

1) Save Bug Fixed: The game no longer crashes when you interact with the PC in Bobo’s room. (No more blue screens of death for poor Bobo)

2) Text Box Fixes: Sentences are no longer cut in half, and text stays inside the box. Smooth reading!

4) Capy and Bobo’s Dialogue Sorted: They’ve finally remembered to say their own lines. We swear!

5) Stellar Glitch Fix: Stellar won’t freak out if you give them gifts. Maybe they were just too flabbergasted by your generosity before. 😅

6) Flower Petal Stacking: We fixed the issue where flower petals would not stack properly.

7)Mouse Speed Glitch: Resolved the issue where the mouse would randomly become extremely slow during gameplay.


Quality of life Improvements

1) Customer Wait Times Extended: You’ll have more time to serve drinks without rushing—no more boba chaos (unless you want it!).

2) Mouse Click to Skip Dialogue: You can now click to skip through dialogue (except for the tutorial and intro cutscenes—still working on that!).

3) New Foraging Options: Starting from day 2, you can gather new forage-able plants throughout the map.

4) Faster Fishing Minigame: The fishing minigame now takes less time, so you can reel in those catches faster!

5) Select Your Menu UI: We improved the UI by adding two icons to make the process more intuitive, and updated the key instructions to make them clearer and easier to understand.

6) Item/Drink Selection: A blinking effect has been added to indicate when you select different quantities of items and drinks.

User Interface (UI) & Visual Updates

1) UI Cleanup: The WASD UI has been removed from the shop menu so it no longer covers the money counter.

2) Lighting Improvements: We’ve removed the blurry pixel effect in some scenes and backgrounds, making everything clearer and sharper.

3) Updated Title Screen Music: We’ve refreshed the title screen with new music to better set the tone.

4) Flowery Cutscene Effects: Beautiful flowery effects now appear during certain cutscenes, adding a touch of magic and whimsy to your experience~

Translation and Dialogue Improvements

1) Typos and Punctuation: Fixed unnecessary “?”s at the end of sentences and other minor typos.

2) Translation Improvements: While still a bit quirky, we’ve tackled many translation errors and will continue to refine the English text.

Sound and Audio

1) More Sound Effects: We’ve added more sound effects throughout the game to enhance immersion.

2) Updated Title Screen Music: Fresh new music to set the mood when you start the game.

What's Next?

As we continue to build and refine Call of Boba, we’re focusing on bringing you even more lore, more exciting gameplay elements, and more opportunities to dive into the world we’ve created. We’re working hard to improve the experience based on your feedback, so keep it coming!

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, stay frothy Fledglings!

Much love,
The Call of Boba Team
