Hi everyone! We have News 🌱
1.0 is moving to early next year
We’ve made the tough call to delay our 1.0 release. Cooking turned out to be a much bigger feature than we expected, which meant we haven’t been able to move on to other important features and improvements yet. We’d rather take the extra time than rush them.
We also wanted our team to be able to truly switch off over Christmas, without a launch looming and a to-do list on their minds. Releasing early next year means everyone can enjoy the holidays and come back well rested, ready to give you and us the 1.0 we deserve.
The good news: Cooking, Photo Quests and Achievements are coming as an update!
You won’t have to wait for 1.0 to try our biggest new features. They’re arriving in a regular game update in November, including:
Cooking minigames
Photo Quests
Achievements
A new, shorter and improved tutorial storyline
Multiple Save Slots
This will be the perfect moment to start a fresh game and experience it all from the beginning. And the great thing is: no more do-overs after this update! Your save files will be save and you'll be able to play the 1.0 release without having to start a new game.
It also means we can do live-ops and fix stuff immediately when you report the bugs again - hurray! (We really missed this part!)
Just FYI: The Autumn content isn’t part of this update. We’re saving that for 1.0 since it's the end of the story :)
New demo for Cooking Fest!
We’re also releasing a brand-new demo as part of Cooking Fest, on 12th October. It includes:
The new tutorial storyline
Cooking minigames for every recipe found in Whispering Pines, Portobello Woods and Periwinkle Beach
We can't wait to hear your feedback on the cooking since we now have more time to polish it properly!
Help us shape 1.0!
As we prepare for 1.0, we’d love to hear from you! If you’ve been enjoying the game, please leave us a review and tell us which improvements matter most to you. Your feedback helps us decide what to focus on next, and every review makes a huge difference for a small studio like ours ❤️
Thanks for your support 🙏
Elena & the Yaldi Team ❤️
