Hello shopkeeper! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/ea0dbd85f947014c132dedee00be1d8f75da9720.gif I'm excited to announce a major update to our boba tea shop management game! I've added three new branches to help you sell even more delicious boba tea. Additionally, I've introduced some exciting new mechanics for each branch, including: Bobrewery: Experiment with unique tea blends, sugars, and innovative boba to create the perfect mix. Earn Mixer Rating Stars and accumulate them every day to become the ultimate boba mixologist. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/394f8edc11ea69a923ae4fcfb7fcfaf948bd6f34.gif Boba Yacht: Attract VIP customers to your shop and earn big tips with the right mix of tea, sugar, and boba. Keep an eye out for the seven different VIPs and reach their "mixer star" requirements to unlock their visits. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/542acf19ce64083125d528b0ba5cedb8e3080511.gif Boba Franchise: Expand your boba empire by purchasing sub-branches and upgrading them manually. Each sub-branch has its own unique performance and upgrade strategy, so choose wisely. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/af87263fa779c149ff3111518e6d511d44eac0bb.gif I've also added a Mixer feature, allowing you to choose the perfect combination of milk tea, brown sugar, and boba for maximum customer satisfaction. Earn Mixer Rating Stars with the right mix, but beware of bad mixers that can decrease your Liking score. Also this update comes with a lot of new achievements to unlock! With the addition of new branches, mixer mechanic, VIP customers, and sub-branches, there are now more ways to challenge yourself and earn rewards. Please note that the leaderboard will be reset with the upcoming update. However, you can still find your old records in Steam's Community Hub. Thank you for your understanding! I hope you enjoy the new update and have fun unlocking all the achievements! - Napas Torteeka -

Buffed the conversion formula of transcension points between layers, causing lower layers to yield more transcension points to higher layers. This aims to reduce the slowdown in progression during TL2 and up For those of you that are interested in the internal math, the related formula was changed from:0.7^((TLn-1)^0.5))] to 0.775^((TLn-1)^0.5))](not including the diminishing return that applies when available points surpass currently claimed points) Fixed a bug that caused auto-ascend "when possible" to not work as intended, if the "autobuyers on manual ascensions" option was disabled Fixed a bug that could cause ascension and prestige autobuyers to trigger for the current layer when purchasing a gameplay unlock Fixed a small imprecision in the number displays, very rarely causing them to display as 0.99eN when they should show as 1.00eN Fixed a bug that could cause Steam to think Increlution (my other game) was launched when launching the game directly from the installation folder

Hi everyone, We're incredibly happy and equally scared to finally release our new game, Big Ambitions, into Steam Early Access. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1331550/Big_Ambitions/ Big Ambitions is a revolutionary role-playing business sim Big Ambitions is the successor to Startup Company. While Startup Company was all about large internet-based businesses, Big Ambitions focuses much more on the small retail businesses that grow to become huge empires. To quickly give you an understanding of the game, here's a list of its key features: Huge Business Sandbox - Go from nothing to the most prominent tycoon in New York. Whether one business or multiple, work smart and make them thrive. Grow any Business - Start your own gift shop, supermarket, coffee shop, or law firm. Whether it’s a single shop or making millions developing websites from a basement. Incredibly In-depth - Take out a loan, rent multiple buildings, design their logos, renovate your stores, grab stock, manage your money, hire staff, and create your infrastructure. Life Sim on Steroids - Need a delivery truck? Travel to a dealer and buy one. Need food? Head to a supermarket, just make sure you have a refrigerator back at home. Own New York City - Enter any building in New York and buy it. Go from a small apartment to a dream penthouse in midtown or buy a series of skyscrapers. Fast Cars or Investment Funds - Spend your wealth however you wish. Buy a big SUV, a speedy sports car, or the new luxurious Mersaidi S500. Maybe even risk it all at the casinos. Make it to Retirement, or don't - Make sure you get enough sleep and stay healthy and happy. Enjoy the journey, for as you grow older, you’ll discover that money can’t buy you time... or can it? If you want to read more about our journey developing Big Ambitions, as well as its Early Access Roadmap, I recommend checking out the official Steam announcement: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1331550/view/3653020827586553519 We really hope you'll like...

Universes 1 and 2 You no longer have to purchase carried Heirloom slots. Instead, you'll automatically gain one once you have the amount of Nu that each level previously cost. You can now spend the full value of your Nu on both your Staff and Shield, rather than 50% on each. The Home Detector Mastery now also drops Uberhousing upgrades Universe 1 Spire Cores no longer consume Spirestones when upgrading/replacing mods, instead you can spend 100% of your total Spirestones on each Core! 12 different Challenge2s have been fused together into 6 new Challenge2s. Each new Challenge2 is a combination of two older ones, and setting your Zone in one of the combo C2s will set the Zone for both of the Challenges that it's based off of at the same time. This should make it both take less time and be more fun to update some of the more trivial C2s. The pairings are: Meditate + Discipline = Enlightened, Slow + Electricity = Paralysis, Nom + Metal = Nometal, Balance + Mapology = Topology, Watch + Size = Waze, and Toxicity + Lead = Toxad Added 2 more Personal Spire Fire Trap upgrades, and 1 Lightning Trap upgrade In the Personal Spire, lowered the required zone to unlock Poison 8 from Z700 to Z650, and lowered the zone for Poison 9 from 750 to 700. Lowered prices to more appropriate points for those zones.

This outer ring requires that at least 10 Mutators have been purchased from the inner ring before purchasing anything from the new outer ring. Added a bunch of brand new Mutators to the new outer ring The Mutators UI can now be moved around with click/drag and zoomed with mouse wheel Mutated Seed drops are now increased by +1x for each type of Mutation affecting that enemy (enemies with 2 types are worth 2x, enemies with 4 types are worth 4x)...

Hello shopkeepers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/f2c3e34affd18cc0d6aa1f16253b75f51230f09f.gif I wish you all a great year. This new update brings three big things to the Boba Simulator. new delivery service new game mode new branch The new delivery service As your Boba Tea business grows, more customers want to try your delicious tea. But no matter how fast you can make them or how many Bobarista you hire, you cannot satisfy them all when a mob approaches your shop. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/bcdfec2e88e39a00a6951681f718de08faa0d37a.gif The new delivery service is designed to bridge that gap. You can now deliver your "DIY Boba Tea Kit" to customers who order it through the delivery app. This will help spread your tea and increase your sales without wasting time making it at your storefront. The whole delivery service will rely on "service points" that come from upgrading the contract with the delivery company. Use those service points to fine-tune the delivery service, i.e., rider amount, delivery range, max cup per round. Each state of the game may need a different mixture of that. Please note that marketing upgrades and marketing staff hiring will directly affect your incoming orders. The new Endless Mode The new game mode is now available for endless pleasure and infinite relaxation. You begin with a tiny little Boba Stand, perform your best Boba Tea while growing your business, and upgrade it until it becomes larger and larger... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/10e2e4ac92ae1cc9170ed4237c4c15217a92e7fb.gif Once your shop gets big enough, You will have access to all-new, limitless features. BRANDING: More competitors will enter the market. You need to keep your brand power high with marketing tools or hire marketers to help you. FOOD SUPPLIER: Provide ingredients for you during business hours. If your storage is full, you can also make a clearance sale here. WAREHOUSE: Allow you to rent more storage by making rental agreements with local warehouses. This will create op...

Hello Shop Keepers, Even though boba and kittens are universal, I still think I want to make their cuteness more approachable. So, I decided to train our cat employees to speak more than one language. This is tough work for me since my English is very poor, but not the poorest compared to other languages I don’t understand. I cannot assess how well cat employees communicate in your native language. So, I need your help. Please try your language in the game and share what's on your mind. The cat will try their best to pick the right language, but you can also set the settings to the language you prefer. (You may need to restart the game to fully apply this setting.) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/c60af8e4da5523cbcaf33ff3c584772cfc7691fc.gif Currently, the cat can communicate in more than MEAWENTY (20+) languages. It can be more or less in the future. Me and the cat are not language expert please be kind to us. I hope you like it. Best, - Napas -

Basically, just click on all Boballoons that spawn near your shop and you will get the bonus. Boballoon will spawn randomly in business time. But the good news is you can upgrade it to give more bonus, to chain spawn other Boballoons, or to spawn more frequently. The full upgrade can provide bonus up to $9,000 per day! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43191664/992b77204a9a95704e2bee4d80235ace2e67e16b.png The new Boba Coin system has been added.

Greetings Pioneers! I'm asking for your support to nominate my passion project for the Steam Awards 2022. I think the new category BEST GAME ON THE GO is super fitting for Paragon Pioneers as a lot of you are playing on mobile as well, so I thought I'll give it a try. The competition is fierce, but even a nomination would be already awesome, so I would love if you could give the Pioneers a chance with your vote! Thank you so much and happy building, Tobias

Greetings Pioneers! After the marketing work around the Steam release was settling a bit, I was able to work on the next patch. And therefore I'm happy to announce that there is now a French translation, thanks to Julien from http://bonnetraduction.ca/! If you Steam client is set to French it should be work out of the box, otherwise you need to adjust the language in the game properties. Moreover I could implement some QoL improvements from my consideration list and added some frequently request features to the game. Here is the full changelist: • Added French translation • Trade routes can now be reordered • Added battle retreat • Added info and abort for running discoveries • Destination of waypoints can now be changed • Waypoints now have options to repeat until fully loaded/unloaded • Improved performance of scroll bars • Improved initial loading speed • Fixed satisfaction percentage calculation • Fixed random fertilities and deposits were revealed before arriving in ship list • Improved custodian achievement unlock trigger If you're interested in more insights about the development, have questions about the game or just want to hang out with other pioneers, you're always welcome on my Discord :) Happy building! - Tobias
