1: Recipe Prep We first introduced Raspberry Bark in Papa’s Donuteria and since Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching we thought it would be a nice addition to Papa’s Cookbook!First, thoroughly wash the raspberries before using them. Then on a cutting board, dice up the raspberries so that they are roughly cut into fourths. Put them in a bowl and carefully pour out any excess juice that may have pooled in the bowl. Set this bowl aside for later.Pour the Milk Chocolate Chips into a microwave safe bowl, and pour the White Chocolate Chips into a second microwave safe bowl. Take your baking pan and line it with parchment paper. 2: Melting Milk Chocolate These next steps will need to be done swiftly, so read everything first and prepare yourself for all the steps involved.Heat your bowl of Milk Chocolate Chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Take the bowl out of the microwave using oven mitts, and stir with a spoon. If it isn’t nice and melted yet, place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until it fully melted but not burned. You can also use a stovetop and small pot to melt the chocolate chips if necessary.Pour the melted chocolate into the baking pan and spread it out evenly so that it is about 1/4th of an inch thick. 3: Melting Pink Chocolate Heat your bowl of White Chocolate Chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Take the bowl out of the microwave using oven mitts, and stir with a spoon. If it isn’t nice and melted yet, place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir.Then immediately pour in the diced raspberries and pink food coloring and mix it all together.If the white chocolate started to solidify from the cool raspberries, you can put it back in the microwave for an additional 15 seconds. Spoon out dollops of the mixture on top of the melted milk chocolate, spaced out evenly. Then take your butter knife or wood skewer and start swirling the pink chocolate into the milk chocolate. You don’t want to mix it completely, but just enough that you get a nice swirly pattern throughout the chocolate. 4: Chill and Break! Place the pan in the refrigerator until it is completely hardened and cold.Take the pan out of the refrigerator and break the chocolate into piece with your hands. Store it in the refrigerator and enjoy your Raspberry Bark!

Hey Everyone!

So last week we mentioned that we are doing away with Badges.

We decided to do this because the badges as a whole had several problems…

First, they were a secondary game element that didn’t impact the game, outside of bonus tips and tickets. This created a disconnect with some players who would end up never even opening the Badge Section. It also didn’t help that you could only see the Badge Section after you started a day, then went into the menu.

Secondly, the badge experience felt more technical than fun, with the menu itself feeling more like a spreadsheet.

For awhile now, we knew we could do better. Our goal was to make it more engaging, fun, accessible, and meaningfully tied into the gameplay. So with that being said, we would like to introduce our brand new Sticker Section!

Now you can collect tons of colorful Papa Louie Stickers. As with previous badges, you will find some classic tasks like getting 5 Blue Ribbons or unlocking all the Christmas toppings. However, we have kicked it up a notch with more specific tasks and challenges that will allow you more freedom to decide which sticker you want to earn next.

You can easily view your Stickers before and during your work day with the new and improved menu bar. Other sections are available from the start of the day like the Customer Section. Which brings us to the second HUGE part of the new Stickers system…

We have completely redesigned the Customer Section in Papa’s Bakeria to incorporate some big BIG changes. Now, every customer that arrives has a three specific stickers assigned to them.

And here is where things get really exciting…

When you earn all three of those stickers, you unlock a brand new outfit for that customer!

On top of all the customers getting cleaned up, every customer now has a brand new outfit that you can unlock by earning Stickers! So if you really want to see Wally in his fishing gear, you better remember to complete the “Wallyberry” task!

Once a new outfit is unlocked, you can switch between the two in the Customer Section. Getting tired of Wally’s blue bucket hat? Problem solved by simply going into your customer section and switching him back to his classic look (Style A).

We’ve also included a helpful ticket button on the Customer profile so that you can quickly view their current order. On the left-hand side of the Customer Section, you can scroll through all the customers you have unlocked. You can also now sort them by name, arrival, by stars, and by how many stickers they have. On a sidenote, the customer pictures on the left are not the new “cleaned up” versions. We are still working on those.

Now you’ll notice below Wally’s name is Style: A, B, and H. Style H stands for Holiday, and in this scenario, Wally doesn’t have an alternate style for any holiday and it is grayed out. But for customers who do have an alternate Holiday style, you’ll be able to view it there. Take for example Willow and her spooky Halloween costume!

That’s it for today’s sneak peek. The Sticker Section and all the outfits that come along with it has been a huge undertaking… but it is sooooooo worth it!

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks of Papa’s Bakeria!!
