December Update 1 - UI/UX Improvements + Discord Launch

Lost Abroad Café version 0.05.02 is now available on all platforms! We've got 3 exciting updates to improve the UI/UX of the game, but first a huge announcement: we've just launched the Lost Abroad Discord Server! We are building a community of like-minded language learners to share tips and strategies, hold each other accountable, and have fun on our language learning journeys. Additionally, you can provide feedback on the game directly to the devs and participate in community surveys on the game's content and direction.

Moving on to updates, the first is the improved Leaderboard. Previously, you could only see the all-time top 10 list (along with where they ranked), but now you can filter by time period (all-time, month, week, day) and by language. Set some goals to be the top player for shorter periods of time to stay motivated! I don't think I'm going to catch up to ediemae for Korean this week, though.

Next up is our Menu Filtering feature. The previous menu had a long list of all the items that customers could order, but now you can click on the equipment in the bar at the top to only see menu items that use that equipment. The menu still needs some UI/UX love I think, but this is the first in a series of improvements!

Finally, we re-arranged the counter setup in general. While the game played pretty well on PC/Mac, on mobile the equipment and cups were just too small to be accurate with. So instead, we've made everything bigger and spaced it out a bit more!

That's all for this time! If you want to see more about what we've got going on next, check out our Dev Vlog on YouTube!
