November Update - New Languages + Leaderboard!

With the release of Lost Abroad Café version 0.05 last week, we've brought out total language count up to 7! Learn Japanese, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Spanish, or Korean in this fun language learning game.

Adding four new languages was primarily a backend exercise in getting and verifying all our translations of how people order coffee, tea, and pastries in other countries. This process also uncovered how many differences there are in what is served at cafés across the world, and in future updates we plan to make further modifications to each language to be the most true to what players will actually experience when traveling abroad.

The other big feature in this update is the Leaderboard, which will also be getting some updates very soon. Being the main developer I expected to top the charts, but in fact I've been blown out of the water by many of our top players. At release Koja was in the lead with over 300 customers served, but now Deeb has passed him up with over 400 customers served!

Right now the leaderboard only shows the most served customers overall, but in our next update we'll be allowing filters to see the top players for the current month/week/day, as well as by language.

There's a big bug we've been fighting with pretty much since release, which is that occasionally the ice/hot water/coffee machines will get frozen up somehow and unable to be used until the app is reset. We found one cause of it and fixed that with this update, but of course I've already received bug reports that it's still active, but at least less frequent. We'll get it some day!
