Hey Everyone!
Today we are going to show off some major improvements we are making to the shop and inventory screens.
The first improvement can be found when you go shopping. In previous games, you were forced to flip through tons of pages to get to a certain item. For furniture, it was also difficult to quickly decipher what you already owned.
Now you can use filters to make shopping quicker and more enjoyable. You will be able to turn off all the items you already own and vice versa . On top of that, you can quickly view just the items of a particular theme. So now, if its Christmas time, you can quickly find all the Christmas furniture you don’t own yet.
Once you have purchase some furniture, you’ll probably want to go and decorate your lobby. We have added two new ways to sort your inventory, either by newest to oldest or by holiday. When you sort by holiday, it will start with the current holiday and work its way forward from there.
When shopping for clothing, you’ll have two ways of filtering the shop. You can, for example, filter it to view only the shirts in the shop.
Then, you can narrow your search down even more by viewing just the available shirts for a specific theme. A Theme like…
Given Powder Point’s close proximity to Maple Mountain, it seems fitting that they would also partake in the month long festival of Maple Mornings.
That is all for today’s Sneak Peek, check back soon for more previews of Papa’s Donuteria!
Hey Everyone!
This week we wanted to show off the Build Station! This station is HUGE, and has multiple steps within it.
After you’re done cooking the donuts, you will head over to the Build Station. Upon arrival, you will see all the donuts you have successfully fried up.
You will need to choose three donuts by dragging them to the work tray at the bottom of the screen. Once you have chosen the three, you will be whisked away to the icing/filling stage of the Build Station.
The first thing you should do is check if you have any donuts that need filling. For this order we have one chocolate “round” that needs strawberry jelly. You simply grab the nozzle from the top of the screen and drag it to the donut of choice, and release to fill it up.
Once you finished with the filling, you will want to dip the donuts in the correct icing. You will do that by dragging a donut off of the work tray and over to one of the vats of icing. You will want to line it up level with the vat before releasing the donut into the icing.
Once all three have been iced, you will be moved to the toppings stage of the Build Station. Here you will find all the syrups and shakers you will need to finish off your perfect donuts.
Once your all done, simply drag the ticket to the ticket tent to send it off to the customer to be judged.
Now this may seem like a lot of steps for one station, but don’t worry, we’ve made it super simple to use.

Hey Everyone!
This week we wanted to show off the Fry Station! Before we dive into the Fry Station, here are a few screenshots to lead into it.
Let’s start on Day 2. It’s a warm August morning and the park is already filled with potential customers.
Alberto is your first customer today. He wants one chocolate ring donut, a regular ring donut, and a chocolate round donut with strawberry jelly (we’ll explain that in a week or two).
After you’ve whipped up the perfect donut shapes in the Dough Station, you will head straight for the Fryer.
Donuts are not baked, grilled or even boiled. A true donut, my friends, is fried to perfection. This usually incorporates a large fryer vat that has room for the donuts to float around.
Something sorta like…
well…
THIS!
Ahh yes, the good ole’ Fry Station. I can hear the warm dough sizzling as we speak. This vat is quite roomy; accommodating up to a dozen donuts at a time. And with each customer ordering three donuts, that room will be greatly appreciated. Each of the 12 fryer spots has it’s own cooking display that can be upgraded with alarms. Each column has it’s own booster that you can buy from the shop to help speed things along.
The cooking process for donuts is unique for a deep fryer because they automatically float on the surface of the oil. This means that you will need to flip the donuts halfway through their cooking cycle in order for them to be evenly cooked on both sides.
Raw donuts that are fresh from the Dough Station are located on the rack at the bottom of the screen. When a donut is finished cooking, you will send it off to the Build Station via the green √ conveyor. However, we will save the Build Station for another day. So… check back each week for more news and previews of Papa’s Donuteria!
