Founders Club payout now updates live Small fix from the forums (thanks, LostEnigma_): when you had the Founders Club menu open, the "Refound now for +N FP" payout sat frozen at whatever it was when you opened it, even as your earnings kept climbing in the background. Refounding always used the correct up-to-date value, so it was just a display quirk — but now the payout, the "next FP in $X" line, and the Refound button all tick up live while the menu is open, matching the banner. Keep the feedback coming — automation features are up next.
- Major improvements to bot intelligence in single player They will now react better to you as a threat and learn from your behaviour, removed a lot of gating behaviour that was stopping them from attacking and raiding early game, and they will now co ordinate better as a team via reinforcements and threat detection - Fixed issue where bots would get stuck and only attack during advance time
- Polish: Performance improved. We keep working on improving your experience! Check out our Discord for additional info!
Implemented several optimizations to enhance overall performance and provide a smoother gameplay experience.

Hi everyone,Thank you for playing Idle Library - it's meant a lot to have so many of you spend time with a library game I made. I've been working on something new, and I wanted to share it with the people who supported the first one.I also want to be upfront about something. A lot of you gave honest feedback about AI-generated content in Idle Library. I heard you, and I took it seriously - The Night Librarian contains no AI-generated content. The writing and artwork are entirely my own.It's a different kind of game from Idle Library - a cozy mystery puzzle game (though I clearly couldn't stay away from libraries). You play the night-shift librarian at Ashwood Library: sort the returns, find the books patrons are after, and set the shelves right before morning. But the longer you work, the more you notice the library isn't quite… empty. Across five nights, a mystery unfolds.No timers, no pressure - just you, 22 hand-made puzzles, a candlelit library, and a mystery that slowly gets under your skin.It's coming to Steam this July at $2.99, and wishlisting it now genuinely helps me have a real launch as a solo dev:👉 Wishlist The Night Librarian on SteamThank you - for playing the first game, and for giving this one a look.- DaZeSTRAY
The dev team has now doubled! (and will triple when the heat wave subsides) Our new member has implemented a great new QoL addition. You can now toggle Mouse Support on/off from the Game settings screen. Additional QoL - the left hand sidebar infrastrucure and ship queues are now collapsible and compact, with a green highlight on the active row.
This patch fixes two bugs: - The game would sometimes crash if you tried to open the Remap Keybinds menu - The Sanctuary Bonus didn't count Mystical and Verdant Oases
BALANCING - The Altar of Second Chance: The base area of effect for automatic clicks has been reduced from 14 to 11. However, it increases with each building upgrade level: +1 per star. Therefore, it can reach a maximum of 20. DEBUG - Fixed a bug with the adventurers' AI where they would sometimes refuse to enter buildings (especially when you have a wide variety of them); please let us know if you encounter this bug or behavior :) - Fixed an issue where items were lost when moving between saves or villages due to a save/synchronization error. We have added extra safeguards and slightly modified the save system for this process. Sometimes you had articles without icons (articles lost in the twisted void). WARNING: Some items in your inventories might disappear with this update due to the new security measures, but this should not happen again in the future. - Debug: Day/night auto-cycle correctly initialized upon session launch
First off: we're blown away by all of you digging this game. A thousand people buying our little indie game within a couple of hours after the release, that's the dream!Thank you all for your feedback, which we will address in time. There was one issue that needed urgent fixing though: The controller focus was lost when starting a new game after unlocking the upgrade which allows to disable cards. This is now fixed, so Steam Deck users, you're back in business!We hope you continue to have fun with this
A late-game smoothness pass, from your reports. Smoother late game Fixed frame-rate dips once your skills are completing many tasks per second. The game was doing a lot of redundant work on every single task completion; that's now batched, so high-speed late-game play stays smooth. Your money, XP and upgrades all still update live — just without the stutter. Thanks for the reports, and especially to those who flagged the late-game slowdown.

Endgame goals plus a batch of quality-of-life fixes, straight from your feedback. New long-term achievements Added 8 achievements for the long haul — deep prestige (Founder Level 25, 50, 100), huge lifetime earnings ($1 quadrillion and $1 quintillion), 10,000 Founder Points, 1,000,000 total Mastery, and 100 hours played. Something to chase well beyond your first all-99. Quality of life Next Founder Point at a glance — the refound prompt and Founders Club now show how much more this run needs to earn your next Founder Point. Tidier menu — audio, display and theme are grouped under Settings, and Achievements + Hiscores under Records, so the menu is shorter and easier to scan. Fixes Fixed the level-99 and Display popups opening over-tall with a needless scrollbar. Thanks for playing — keep the suggestions coming.

Hello everyone! This is a new update focused on improving the gameplay experience and responding to your feedback.🎮 Movement and motion sickness improvementsI’ve been working for quite a while to reduce as much as possible the discomfort some players experienced while moving around the kitchen.In this update I’ve made several adjustments:General control fluidity has been improved.Controls have been slightly adjusted to make movement feel smoother and more gradual.You can now change the floor color to lower-contrast tones, which helps reduce motion sickness.If you previously experienced motion sickness, I’d love to know if this version feels more comfortable. Any feedback about movement or controls is very welcome.🚚 Rider outfit adjustmentsIn Relaxed and Pomodoro modes, time is disabled so players can focus on preparing dishes and enjoy a more relaxed experience.Some players didn’t notice when the delivery rider had arrived, and since this character is time-based, it could negatively affect their ratings if not served in time.To fix this:In Relaxed and Pomodoro modes, the delivery timer will not start until you interact with an object (pick up or drop something).This gives you unlimited time to notice their arrival without unfair penalties.⏱️ More flexible Frenetic mode and breaks between ordersMany players requested more control over the pacing of Frenetic mode, especially the option to space out orders more (for example, every 2 or 3 minutes).Although this feature already existed through another mechanic, it is now better explained in-game:You can close the restaurant gate between orders to take a break, reorganize the kitchen, or prepare for the next customer.🙌 Thank you for playingThank you all for trying the game and leaving feedback. I’m still reading everything to keep improving the experience.

Will be on by default.Allowed for the offline gains to be turned off in the settings menu for those who do and do not want it. Will be on by default.
A small quality-of-life touch from your suggestions. Spot upgrades at a glance A red dot now appears next to a skill in your list whenever it has an upgrade you can afford and haven't bought yet — so you can see which skills have something waiting without opening each one. Handy for newcomers and veterans alike. Thanks for the suggestions — keep them coming.
A batch of quality-of-life fixes from your feedback — bundled into one update. Hiscores The Hiscores screen now shows your global rank on every board, not just one. Ranks are also remembered between menu opens, so they appear instantly instead of reloading each time. Quality of life Endgame is clearer — once all your skills hit level 99, the refound prompt reliably reappears (even if you dismissed it earlier), so it's obvious where the prestige loop continues. Activity log remembers its state — collapsed or expanded, and its height, now stay how you left them between runs. Fixes Fixed the "What's New" window popping up on every launch. Thanks as always for the reports — keep them coming.
BALANCING- Added the number of bots that appear in the third village - Added some usernames to the adventurer bank UI/UX- Added to the reset panel: Reset option: You can now choose to reset only a specific village if you want to restart a village without losing everything. By default, the toggle is selected for all resets.We've just added some extra options for the reset function; you can now choose to reset a specific village instead of everything. This was requested by you :) Thank you! All your feedback is awesome! Thank you so much! We're adding your requested features, this one was a big request :) DEBUG - Minor fix to decoration collisions

After adding the Bubble Event's chips into the Gacha pool, it seems that they were appearing way too often! This should be fixed now that the drop rates have been re adjusted!
