Greetings, Chefs!
First and foremost, thank you so much for your continued support for KuloNiku: Bowl Up!. It means the world for our team to see you playing the demo, wishlisting it, and even streaming or sharing it on social media!
Previously, the game’s release date was listed as “Q3 2025” on Steam. As some of you have noticed, it’s now listed as “Coming Soon”. Today, we’d like to provide more information about the changes in our publishing plans.
We’ve Got a Publisher!
KuloNiku: Bowl Up! now has a publisher! We have partnered with Raw Fury, who will support us in publishing the game globally and ensuring it is in the best possible shape.
Raw Fury is the renowned publisher behind hit games like Blue Prince, Cassette Beasts, and Moonstone Island. More importantly, we believe they are great collaborators who respect the developer’s vision while providing valuable creative and marketing feedback. We’re very excited to work with them!
On the Release Window
After a lot of discussion – internally and with the Raw Fury team – we agreed that KuloNiku: Bowl Up! needs more time in the oven (or the hot pot?).
Rest assured that we're working hard to get it out ASAP, and this extra time will help us deliver something fantastic! No need to worry, though, it won't be another year!
We will announce the new release window when we’re ready, so stay tuned here or on our social media.
Collaboration with GX Aura
Paging all Aurangers! We’re so excited to announce our collaboration with the inimitable vtuber GX Aura (https://x.com/GXAuraOfficial).
Aura has lent us her voice for the shy and lovable shopkeeper Ume! Moreover, we’re making a special in-game decor item based on her mascot RAMbit.
You can already hear her voice in our latest demo. Speaking of which…
Demo Update
Some of you might have noticed that we have updated our demo. The latest update features updated character voices, a brand-new CG illustration, improved Meatball Brawl mechanics, various UX and visual improvements, and bug fixes.
Give it a try and let us know what you think using the in-game feedback form.
Until next time, chefs!
