Hi everyone, It’s been a while since I last released an update for TasteMaker. I’m currently working hard on my next project, and as a solo developer, working on 2 projects simultaneously is quite challenging. However, I did want to release this small update for TasteMaker. There
It’s been a while since the release and last update for TasteMaker. I’m currently hard at work on my next game, and making good progress on it. Despite being mostly focused on my next game, I did make some time to make this small update for TasteMaker. Tables The game did not hav
After two years of early access, TasteMaker is now finally fully released! I’m very grateful for all the support and feedback I received during early access. As mentioned in an earlier blog, I will continue to support TasteMaker, but the updates will probably be smaller and less

It’s been a while since I last released an update, but I have been hard at work improving and testing the game. I’m really excited to share this update and hope it was worth the wait. Tutorial Rework One of the biggest changes I made was removing the tutorial and incorporating it
I’m working towards the 1.0 release of the game, and have decided to slightly increase the price from 9,99 to 11,99. This price increase will happen at the start of next month, most likely on the 3rd of March. Until that time you will still be able to get the game for 9,99. It ha

While not everything I worked on in the past 2 weeks is ready to be shown yet, I did make a few important improvements and bug fixes that I wanted to release before the end of the year. This will probably be the last update for 2022. Hope you all have happy holidays! Zoning impro
Stat window rework I added a dish specific waiting time tab to the stat window. The rest of the window was also polished and reworked and I made sure that all the stats got saved properly, which was not the case before. Wall Removal Something that I see in tests quite frequently
Update cycle I will be experimenting with different update schedules. There is unfortunately only so much I can get done in a week, and I feel that the weekly update schedule is starting to get a bit counter productive. Releasing an exciting update and doing what’s best for the g
This week's update is a bit smaller. I’m considering releasing updates less frequently in order to make them more substantial. Staff windows reworked Previously, you often had to switch between windows when managing staff. This update separates staff managing and staff hiring in
Zoning Feedback I reworked the zoning system this week. The game already had a simple system to restrict where staff was allowed to go, but I believe that it was too limited and had some major issues. The main issue was that the game did not communicate whenever the employee coul
Skin Colors Last week I added more variety to guest models. But there was one addition that I didn’t manage to finish in time, which is different skin colors. I did manage to add it to this update. Placement Hints I reworked the hints that are displayed when you place items. They
Character system rework 2 weeks back I added a system that gave employees different skills. With this change it became more important to be able to tell employees appart, which was not easy because they all looked identical. I spent this week reworking the character system to mak
