Mangoberri 0 Posted February 3, 2010 This week we start preparing for the celebrations for the Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year) and Valentines day. right here in Restaurant City!We have just updated Restaurant City with new items, limited dishes and a number of changes and features, we hope you´ll like it!First up, what you will notice when you load up Restaurant City today is that the newsletters have had a makeover – we hope you´ll find the new design of the newsletters better than the old one! Make sure to give us feedback on this.You might not notice this when you log in today if you have already played the game earlier today, but tomorrow you will see a new ingredients screen when you log in! Now you can get up to 3 ingredients every day! However, you will first need to log in for 3 consecutive days, and every time you log in after that, you will get 3 ingredients! Miss a day, and you need to start over with 1 ingredient and work your way back up.When sending free snacks to your friends or when feeding your own employees you will notice that the food you can feed your employees with are Valentines Specials! We are sure your workers will appreciate the Ruby Juice, Lolly, Sundae and Sweets! They´ll definetely be on a sugar rush! You´ll also notice that the food prices have changed – but also the amount of time each food add to your employees work time has now been raised!Which leads me to the other change this week, which is that your workers can now work for 4 hours rather than the old 3 hours! We hope this will help you better manage your restaurant and make sure those popularity points stay high!You will also find it a lot easier to redecorate your restaurant now, when you click on the “Redecorate” button you can now choose to move ALL items in your restaurant into your inventory. No more moving table by table or chair by chair. It´s now a lot easier and faster to create a new theme or layout for your restaurant! This change combined with the 3 different layouts we added last week, redecorating your restaurant is super easy!There is also a sale going on in the Cash Ingredients Market – some ingredients are now selling at half-price! It´s also now easier to get to the market when you are in your recipe view – as a button to the market has been added in the recipe menu.~~~As already revealed, we are starting to prepare for the Chinese New Year and Valentines Day celebration. What better way to start getting your restaurant ready for that special Valentines Day than to make sure you have special dishes available for your customers? This week a new main course is added, it is of course Lovely Steak! For dessert you can now serve up the Sweet Heart Mousse and let´s not forget the Sweet Rice Cake which combines the Chinese New Year and Valentines Day perfectly!Some of these dishes are limited, look below the pictures above to see when you need to unlock them by. If you have not unlocked the dishes before that time, the dishes will disappear from your menu, so you need to hurry and collect those ingredients.Once you have unlocked any of the three dishes, you can upgrade them to a level higher than level 1 at any time. You can upgrade them also after the limited time period, but you need to remember to learn the dish you want to keep in your menu. If you haven´t learned the dishes (got them to at least level 1) before the period is over, they will disappear from your menu, however you may be able to buy these recipes in future.~~~We cheated a bit, and started the preparation for Valentines Day early last Friday – so this week the main focus is getting ready for the Chinese New Year for the interior and exterior of your restaurant. As Valentines Day and Chinese New Year this year fall on the same day, it is perfectly alright to combine the two! But now as you have 3 layouts you can change between there is also the option to kit out your restaurant specifically for both themes. Anyway, this week it´s mainly items for the Chinese New Year!If you don´t know much about Chinese New Year, you can read this Wikipedia article which will tell you about the traditions for Chinese New Year. This year, is the year of the Tiger, and we of course have some decorations for you to show case this in your restaurant! Also if you did not know the word “Fu” in Chinese means Luck!If you have managed to come all the way down to here, I have one other piece of important information to share with you! You can now earn more coins by visiting your friends! You now get 500 coins for the first friend you visit and help in their restaurant, followed by 100 for the next friend. Then friends 3-5 gives 50 coins while any visits over 6 friends will give you 5 coins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
