I've been replaying the entire game, as well as listening to all the feedback from the Steam forums and our Discord channel, in order to do a major balance update before I submit the game to PS4! Replaying the game after all these updates has really helped me pinpoint some areas that I think I've left unbalanced for quite a while. For example, the entire Slammy's BBQ shifts tip over from difficult to unfair. So a lot of these changes should help with that. In addition, I wanted to try a change- Sushi is now a Holding Station Optional food! It's only two servings, but it may just give you the edge to finish a day perfectly. Let me know what you think! Some other shift menu changes has been made to various other restaurants, but the other major change involves how chores work- now you get bonus "patience" for chores depending on how much buzz you have. It's not a massive change, but again should help slightly in some of the later levels. Please leave any feedback you can regarding how this new update feels, and enjoy the game! BALANCE CHANGES

• Chores now have buzz bonus wait times across all modes of play. When buzz is at 100%, chores gain an extra five seconds of "patience" before going off screen. The buzz and bonus scales from there- for example, 50% buzz nets you 2.5 seconds, 25% buzz is 1.25 seconds, etc.
• Sushi is now a Holding Station Optional food. You can prep it in the holding station for two instant servings, the lowest in the game and the first ever instant serve for a non-cooked HS optional food.
• Roast Beef Sandwich and Chopped Brisket Sandwich now have "slow" cook times instead of "very slow."
• The "very slow cook times" trait has been reduced to allow faster cooking. This applies to all foods with this trait, such as Brisket, Ham, Sausages, etc.
• Pulled Pork Sandwich now has 10 servings instead of 8. Freshness time extended as well.
• Ribs now have 4 servings instead of 3.
• Sausage Slices, Ham Slices, Turkey Slices and Brisket Slices no longer contribute dishes to the dishwashing chore (instead of the "high" volume of dishes it was set at before.)
• Slammy's BBQ Shift 09: Toast replaced with Potato Salad.
• Slammy's BBQ Shift 13: Baked Potatoes replaced with Potato Salad.
• Slammy's BBQ Shift 10, 11, 12, 13: Entree 6 removed. Each of these shifts now have five entrees instead of six.
• Slammy's BBQ Shift 11/12: Side Stew added.
• Slammy's BBQ Shift 9-13: Starting buzz decreased for these shifts.
• Sushi Nest Shift 08: Japanese Fried Rice Side added.
• All Sushi Nest shifts have added an extra holding station to the original amount.
• Contrast Coffee Shift 12/13: Marshmallow Squares added.

• Made the Chilly Bowl mascot, "Sundae," glass art transparent instead of frosted glass for the unlocked item in the Designer.
• "TUTORIAL" is now displayed in the top right info bar during tutorial sessions instead of the current selected mode for CSD.
• When playing any tutorial, music now loops correctly instead of stopping after fading out.
• Additional improvements made to console version.

• Version 2.5 is now available in the Beta Branch should you need to rollback to this version at any time.
