Hey everyone!
Today is the day! Thanks for the Soup is now available in Early Access!
Launch Discount
Get the game now while we're celebrating the launch! The game is currently 35% off for the first 14 days!
What to expect from Early Access?
Most information on early access can be found on our store page. But to recap:
The game is in a fully playable and complete-able state right now. There are 3 different endings that are achievable, 11 playable days (including the tutorial), 150+ different items and 16 fully (human) voiced customers.
During Early Access we'll be refining, tuning and adding a lot of things to the game. But at its core Early Access will likely not differ too much from the full game.
We're planning on being in Early Access for around a year, as long as it meaningfully improves the game.
After leaving Early Access, the game's price will be increased.
You can leave feedback in the Community Hub or on our Discord.
More updates will be shared on the Community Hub, our Discord and our blog.
Roadmap
Our next step is to firstly address feedback and bug reports. But beyond that we will continue building on the game, adding content, introducing new features, and adjusting where necessary. As such we will be providing a roadmap in the near future with what you can expect from us.
I played the demo, what is different?
A lot has been changed/ added and improved since the demo, that it's quite a lot to keep track of. But the key notes are:
A unique side quest that takes place in a new area.
Improved fishing, farming and taking care of pets.
Multiple save files.
Fully implemented endings.
A whole new third neighborhood.
More days + a lot more customers.
Free-play after reaching an ending. (Non-canon and only serves for you to explore and continue playing on a save file)
40+ new items and over half a dozen new, in-depth, events.
Introduced 2 new arcade games.
A lot of polish and bug fixes!
And more things that I cannot go into detail to.
Localization issues?
Currently we're unsure about the localization accuracy in the game. We've been making use of a variety of tools to try and manage the different languages. But our limited budget, time and range has made it difficult to ensure the quality of the game's localization. For the best experience, play the game in English, which isn't ideal for everyone. Since we want everyone to have the best possible experience for them, we would appreciate support in localizing the game. We have set up a GitLocalize where anybody can contribute to the localization. We'll try out best to keep it up to date with the game.
Soundtrack
The game's official soundtrack is on its way. It is currently still in the approval process. But it won't be too long before you can enjoy the Thanks for the Soup soundtrack through Steam. (or just get it as a way to support us <3)
Thank you!
To everyone who has supported us thus far and continues to support us! We're a small indie team of 2 and are making this out of love. It means a lot to us! If you'd like to support us even more, we now have a Ko-fi page. We will continue doing our best to make Thanks for the Soup the best it can be!
