Happy Holidays, chefs!
We've got another exciting content update just in time for the holidays. For this update we wanted to expand on the Wrapped tag with new customers, helpers, and ingredients that play with it.
First we've got 8 new ingredients, some Christmas-y and some Wrapped-y.
Next we have 3 new helpers that should enable some unique new playstyles.
Furthermore we've added 4 new customers with the new Gift Wrapped trait. These customers can apply Wrapped to ANY ingredient, just in time for Middlesville Secret Santa!
And once again Principal Clucker has demanded 7 new achievements!
Aside from content we've also reworked the Legendary Helper selection to be a bit more dramatic!
We've also cleaned up some of the issues you discovered from the mid-run saves. The game now saves after every choice you make in the shop, so no more reloading to make different choices with new info.
Plus check out the new and improved title screen:
Omelet You Cook is currently on sale for 20% off as part of the Steam Winter Sale. Afterwards to reflect the amount of content and work we've put into it, we'll be raising the price to $15 USD. This will be the final price as we get closer to a product we feel is ready for a 1.0 release (date TBD). This will be the cheapest you can get the game for awhile so tell your friends it's a great time to start cooking!
Wanna know what it's been like developing Omelet You Cook? Hjalte and I joined a great podcast where we shared some of our silly stories from development:View game page
Happy holidays, chef!

Localization
We've swapped out every line of text in the game and begun the process of translating it into several new languages. If you speak another language and would like to get involved, please join us on Discord.
Note: The game is still English-only for now. In the near future once we've had some first pass translations in other languages we'll open up a beta branch to switch languages.
