Ok TL, next week is the first week of October. Can we count on you for a Halloween update? Autumn update? Something that will make sense to the month of October?

We were patient and didn't cause to much of a stir these past two weeks, pay it forward. We tried to give TL the benefit of the doubt and pass it off as you were busy with IOS7 (though I must admit I think you knew it was coming and should have already been ready).

Don't get me wrong, the updates were cute just would have been wonderful if they were released like 5 months ago. Just saying.

Also, how about a Halloween update before the actual holiday? You can treat us instead of tricking ;-) What was with the Labor Day decor after the fact?! Epic fail my friends.

So what do you say TL? Throw us a bone? Please break the trend of dissapointment. I still believe in you but am wearing thin. You can do it! You can do it! You can do it! (thought cheering/positive words may be what you need)

Sincerely,
Ready for Octoberfest aka Jack-o-lantern smiles

I'm sure TL will give us Halloween before Halloween because we are entering their biggest season of the year...Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas. If they want fat bonuses, they know they should deliver in advance. No one buys anything after a holiday unless it's heavily marked down. But yes, I do agree with you, the order in which items have been released lately make no sense...what's with the candy princess theme in the fall??? TL, u weirdos.

Oh yeah and Black Friday....that's tl's best day. Speaking of which, we should get the ball rolling on what we would like to see released on Black Friday.

Halloween is tied with Christmas as my very favorite holiday/season! I almost died from the cute costumes that the 'bots were wearing last year! I really, really hope they do that again this year.

I couldn't have said this better myself :) My hope has definitely been wearing thin with this company & game, so I stopped playing as much. But with it being Autumn now and Halloween coming, I'm truly hoping they deliver big because us bakery players deserve that much. And I'm hoping they make it fair and give the opportunity to purchase a lot of great COIN items rather than making every update gem heavy. Fingers & toes crossed!

Well, seems that the update could go great based on fashion story's Halloween update this week or terrible if you look at the music update in restaurant story. Not feeling too optimistic.....don't let us down TL.

I havent gotten an update in Restaurant yet. That sucks its a music theme AGAIN :-( I was hoping for Halloween stuff. On a side not Fashion story had a great Halloween update so thx there TL. i hope Bakery gets a great HALLOWEEN UPDATE to xx

I took a look at the locked goal rewards and I must say I', actually pleasantly surprised! I don't usually complete halloween related goals because the rewards are so ugly that I wouldn't want to use them in my shop, but these are actually cute! Good job combining an upcoming holiday with cuteness you'd expect in a bakery!

This company has created a numerous amount of games/apps for people--for free! I wish people would be a little more patient and understanding as they have SO many apps and games to edit and update with new iOS/android versions/bugs/fixes/ weekly updates/holiday goals/ etc.

Could you imagine mowing the lawn of 200 townsfolk, with a smile on your face and for free, and just to have them complain and nag that you're not quick enough or you don't mow to their expectations, when without you (the worker) their lawn would not be tended to at no cost?

I think what would be best, instead of critiquing their mistakes, shine on their accomplishments! :D Perhaps make suggestions to new items, or something positive! :o

Running a gaming company you can expect there to be positive as well as negative critique. Without negative critique how would they better their company? And the above person did give feedback on what they would like to see for Halloween updates. Everyone is entitled to their feelings and opinions, whether it be positive or negative. It's just not realistic to run a company and only have positive feedback or opinions.

I agree, only positive feedback can hinder stuff, but complaining/nagging is not exactly negative critique. And yes, there was feedback, I just feel that people voice their opinions as if they are entitled to exactly what they want, i.e., "pay it forward" in OP's post, or "We tried to give TL the benefit of the doubt and pass it off as you were busy with IOS7 (though I must admit I think you knew it was coming and should have already been ready)." I'm sure they are aware of their time schedules/ deadline expectancy of the population and don't need comments like that.

I understand what you're saying. Sometimes on here I get annoyed when others complain when players have negative feedback or critique towards updates because at the end of the day it's a little weird to expect everyone to always be happy with every little update, whether it is a free game or not.

TL doesn't listen either way, positive or negative & yes, the app itself is free but TL makes plenty of money from all of their "free" games. How many of us have lost gems? I'm not talking about accidentally buying something. I think most of us have or know someone who has. NOTHING is ever completely free. When we are asked to spend hard earned money on gems, gold, diamonds, etc we should have the right to certain expectations.

Yes, great idea. But has anyone started a thread for black Friday wish list? I wasn't yet playing BS last December, so I am unfamiliar with the TL black Friday goodies. Yet I am intrigued, and think I shall try to save up some coins/gems for the occasion.

If some items in your bakery become invisible, try clearing your cache. This often happens when your device is low on memory. If that doesn't work, see if you can delete a few apps (for example, try not to keep more than one version of each game on your device; always delete the old version after an update).

scarletdragon18

10-03-13, 02:47 PM

I'm not sure if this has been asked already, but will the appliances from last year (from both Restaurant and Bakery) be brought back this year? It would be cool because I never got them.

10-03-13, 10:22 PM

It may also just be the design of the chairs. I too, noticed they were very hard to see. I moved them to a different background and plain color tile, and suddenly 'there they were!' :p

Some of my neighbors are sending hallowen related gifts from last year...bat freshner, vampire cape, etc. While they are very cute, I wonder if I will actually be able to use them. Does anyone know if they can be used for anything this year??

Android users are now pulling the stuff from halloween edition 2012, they may build more coffins and cauldrons as well.. especially if they have started playing last autumn or later.

I'm android, but didn't start playing until this past June. I don't see appliances or decorations that would use these items. Does that mean that I'm just out of luck? Wish I could just hang the vampire cape on the wall..it's cute! :)

nky1111

10-05-13, 02:36 PM

no you don't hang it.. you can build a coffin drink machine with it That's in Bakery story Halloween edition (2012) that you can still get on the internet
