October 2025 Update
Hello!Happy October! Autumn is my favorite time of year for quite a few reasons. Namely, the weather and the changing of the leaf colors. Plus, The Great Coffee Caper takes place in autumn! What a lovely coincidence! We hope you all are having a wonderful season so far!There are a few announcements. So, without further ado, let's get started:Development Update (short)The next update for the demo is still progressing, albeit at a slow pace. I am in school at the moment, and my work for it has taken up almost all of my time these past few weeks.This update will be much bigger than the previous two as I hope to move away from the demo so that development on the full game can begin.We greatly appreciate your patience. Thank you!The GameMaker AwardsIf you don't know, the engine that The Great Coffee Caper is made in is GameMaker. Every year, they give out awards for various categories (Best Game, Most Anticipated, etc).

I trust that you people will know what to do during this time...Thank you for your attention to this matter....NOMINATE HEREMusicAlong with the changing of the seasons, comes a new Steam Sale! During the Steam Autumn Sale you can buy the demo soundtrack for The Great Coffee Caper at a discounted price on both Steam and Bandcamp!(If you purchase on Steam, you will also get music from the full game when it releases for no additional charge!)The sale ends October 6, so you better act quick if you want to capitalize!STEAMBANDCAMPFinal ThoughtsI don't have all too many final thoughts for this time.
