Dear Chefs!
We'd like to let you know how the development is progressing. You're asking us many questions and keep showing great interest in our game. Thank you for that!
FEATURES
- New cutting mechanic According to various comments and suggestions, we've added a feature that allows to cut more precisely by "freezing" the products on the cutting board.
- Eggs! Many of you've been asking to include eggs in the game. They're still work in progress but they're coming. Implementing them is a challenge since all the components like the shell, yolk and egg white react in a completely different way to physics but we're doing it!
- Sounds We've basically added a ton of sound effects! More are still coming.
FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
- Cooking School We've fully implemented a series of tutorials introducing the game mechanics and objectives. It explains the basics like how to use the tools, how to use the laptop, how to buy items, etc. One of the tutorials will guide you step by step through preparing an example dish.
- Physics Mostly collisions and liquids. The game applies physics to everything that's going on in the kitchen so we really want to have that part polished.
- User Interface Adjustments and bug fixes.
- Recipes and game balance All the planned recipes have been fully implemented. We're making sure that the game's challenging but not frustrating. We're optimizing the recipes by adjusting preparation requirements, time to complete the dish and the review system.
WHAT ELSE?
Those above are not all the updates and fixes we're preparing for you. We'll keep updating you more frequently so you can see the progress.
GAME RELEASE
The whole team is working extra hard. We're doing our best to release a great game for you as soon as possible. We want to make sure that once we give you a release date, it's 100% confirmed and the game will come out on that day. That's why for now we'd like to stick to early 2019. We promise to update you as soon as we can :)
BETA
Recently along with our publisher we've been sending some access codes to streamers to promote the game. If you'd like to get your hands on the game before the release, we've got some good news for you! We'd like to run a round of semi-open beta tests before the release. More info coming soon!
Thank you once more for keeping your fingers crossed for Cooking Simulator!
Regards,
Cooking Simulator Dev Team
