Hey Chefs!
As we mentioned last week, we're working on some small gameplay improvements according to the feedback from beta. We've decided to add a simple progress system, so you can actually feel like you're constantly improving and becoming the ultimate chef. While playing, you're going to gain fame and level up. This is going to allow you to unlock perks and skills.
- Perks have a huge direct impact on gameplay. Those are one tier abilities that allow you, for instance, to grab hot items without using the spatula.
- Skills have a more subtle influence and they can be gradually improved (3 levels). For example, they can be used to lower certain prices.
Here you can see some work-in-progress designs for UI:

Let us know, if you'd like to hear more about this system and other improvements we're working on ;)

Cooking Simulator Dev Team
