Game update: 17/04/15

Whoa! What's this? An update post at the weekend? You bet!

Notification for new expansion

Out of nowhere there was a game update on Friday night which although not your typical kind of update did include something to cheer about - a NEW EXPANSION!

It's really a huge moment for Restaurant Story. We've not had a new expansion introduced in years, quite literally. Here are the requirements for the expansion to 24x27:

Christmas content removal announced

It's taken a while to come through, but following on from removals of content from the other holiday themes, a Christmas shedding was announced late yesterday.

Usually these removals are announced alongside the weekly update, but yesterday it came a number of hours later for some reason. Perhaps this was related to the lateness of the update itself going up?

Game update: 28/01/15

It's playtime! This update takes us to the fun house with lots of stuff to keep the kids amused!

Notification for kids playground update

As well as items for the kids theme (which are all unlocked at level 11) there is a whole load of Valentine's Day content on sale at 20% off. Although most of it is listed at the start of the relevant tabs of the market, only a few of the decorations are actually new and thus included in the traditional list.

The first update of 2015 is very much centred on the chill of Winter, and comes with a new set of goals. Here's the list of additions, all of which open up at level 12:

Countdown to content removal 2014

This time of year is all about Autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Christmas. It's a busy period, but there's one not so exciting event also falls in this part of the year, and that's the dreaded content removals. Here I'll try and provide some guidance on what a content removal consists of and what we can expect.

If you've not experienced a content removal before, it basically consists of an in-game notification alerting of a poorly described removal to come in the next week, which is swiftly followed by pandemonium as the community erupts with protests.

When the deadline passes, you get to retain any of the removed items you already purchased but won't be able to buy any more.

Winter content removal review

On Saturday I posted about an in-game notification that all 'Winter holiday items' would be removed from the market today.

Notification for 'winter holiday items' content removal

Well the deed is done. The removal took place earlier this evening, and the news is mainly good.

The leading story is that only Christmas content was pulled. I suspected that Winter 2013 and New Year 2014 stuff was in the firing line, but it all survived, as did everything else that has been added over the last 12 months, including Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving items from last year.

So here's the lowdown of all content removed on Tuesday 7th January 2014...

Winter content removal announced

The time has come. After my weeks of preparation through posts counting down to a content removal, an in-game notification has confirmed that such a brutal act will be carried out this coming Tuesday.

Notification for 'winter holiday items' content removal

And so the speculation begins. Throughout those posts I've always stressed that any selection of the listed content could go, with the lists themselves also not exhaustive. And I continue to emphasise this now.

'Winter holiday items' scream (or carol) of Christmas. So I fully expect all Christmas content to be pulled on the 7th. But this may not be the end of the terror. Because there were three Winter updates around the time of the last mass content removal in January 2013. The items from these updates are still active in the game, so there is a possibility that they will be removed too.

Countdown to content removal (boxes)

A removal of 'Winter holiday content' took place on Tuesday 7th January 2014. Only Christmas content was removed. More information can be found here.

Let me take you back to 3rd January 2013...

A pop-up appears to every player on every TeamLava game, and it informs that all holiday content from 2012 will be removed on the 7th. Chaos ensues as players frantically try to decide what is and what isn't 'holiday content', before invading Design mode to buy up items expected to go and desperately trying to master seasonal recipes.

It was a bit of a shambles in all honesty. Only four days notice of a whole raft of unnamed items and dishes being removed with no promise of any returning at any time in the future. So as that time approaches again, here's a guide as to what you should do.

The definition of 'holiday content' is a dodgy one - Valentine's Day, Halloween and Christmas clearly all fall into this bracket, but what about Summer, Autumn, Carnival and Cruise themed items? So for the sake of taking no chances I'm going to class anything added this year as at risk.

Halloween 2013 content removal

As was discussed in this week's game update post, an in-game notification gave notice of a removal of Halloween items on Friday.

Notification for Halloween 2013 removals

Well the removal has now taken place and the results are in...

Both the content released brand new this year and the stuff from 2012 which was re-released have been removed, but recipes were exempt. However there were some exceptions to the rule.

So here is a list of all 58 removed Halloween items:
