A Live Performance of CSD 3's "Chakalaka" by Indiana State University!


Sometimes the coolest things happen in game development y'all. I'm so excited to share that the NOTUS Contemporary Vocal Ensemble performed an amazing concert filled with incredible video game music - Celeste, Xenoblade Chronicles, Abzu and more- and closed the concert with Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!

It was surreal watching this live on stream, and now the video has been made available for viewing right here:

Animated Avatar Frames and Stickers Available Now on the Points Shop!


Hey everyone! I’m excited to show off our all new Point Shop avatar frames and stickers for the entire Cook Serve Delicious series- and you can grab these games at heavy discounts as part of the Steam Daily Deal!

And hey, why not wishlist our upcoming remake, er, Re-Mustard of our original Cook, Serve, Delicious! game? We’ll have more details on all the exciting new features and improvements in Re-Mustard in the future, so be sure to follow as well!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2139040/Cook_Serve_Delicious_ReMustard/





Point Shop Extravaganza

I’ve been a big fan of all the cool stuff you can find in the point shop, and animated frames are easily one of my favorites. We had a whole ton of lore to choose from when making these, so how did we narrow it down for each game? Here’s our artist Tristan with more details!

Hello! As we were creating frames for each of our cooking games, I took a look back at some of the art previously done for CSD 1,2 and 3. You can see what I ended up using for inspiration below as well as what concepts I came up with. For CSD 1, I focused on the environments and weather. For CSD 2 and 3, I focused on the different restaurant and food truck logos. And for CSF I focused on the delivery robots and also the art style of different elements of the game.

I signified the basic idea of movement in the black arrows seen below. We picked a few for each game and I was then tasked with creating the final art. Most of it was just creating the different art assets and hand drawing some of the frames of animation but our writer Nick’s After Effects knowledge really was the MVP for this project. I’m really happy with how they all came out but I think my favorites are the shrine from CSD 1 and sushi belt from CSD 2. I hope you enjoy all our hard work on these when you get to sport them yourself!





More Cook, Serve, Delicious! to Come!

I’m very excited for the future of the CSD series- while we’re busy wrapping up our side project, Cook Serve Forever, I’m eager to get back into the fast paced mechanics of Cook, Serve, Delicious: Re-Mustard! And hey…who knows what’s next after that. Well, I do, but I can’t really say much more just yet.

Stay tuned and stay delicious!

Cook, Serve, Delicious! Day -- A MASSIVE Announcement Buffet!


It's Cook, Serve, Delicious! Day!


I'm absolutely ecstatic this day has arrived as we've revealed several new developments for Cook, Serve, Delicious! including an all-new remaster of the original CSD!

First, if you haven't heard: We have a brand new patch out for Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! that officially makes the game Steam Deck Verified! Included in the update: Adjustments to the font size and clarity for the food descriptions and stats, added some minor improvements to gameplay related code, and brought the game up to the latest Game Maker engine build -- which should improve performance for some users! As always you can roll back to the last update should you need to. Full patch notes here!

What else, you say? So much more!


Cook, Serve, Delicious: Re-Mustard! is coming to PC and consoles in 2024! You can read more about the new features on the Steam page (be sure to wishlist it!!) but we plan on adding new modes, new features, more foods, a new campaign, while still retaining the same classic gameplay as the first game. For those who want to shake things up a bit, we also plan on adding an all new Typing mode that tests your Ingredients-Per-Minute! Look forward to more details in the months to come!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2139040/Cook_Serve_Delicious_ReMustard/

For the first time ever, the OG Cook, Serve, Delicious! is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and Xbox! It always felt odd to have CSD 2 and 3 on consoles but not the original, and this is a great way to enjoy a classic before the all new remake comes out next year. Be sure to grab it on your platform of choice when it arrives on consoles later this year!

A new Early Access update will release in August for Cook Serve Forever! This update will have all new locations, more story, new achievements, new side quests, new foods, and lots more! We've been working hard over the last few months on the gameplay side of things and making the game run smoother and faster, and this is our first major content drop since launch.

For those looking to stay current with all of our updates and reveals, check out Vertigo's newsletter and the CSD Discord. Thanks so much for all the support!

Hotfix 2 for v1.0.3
A small fix that was causing the end of day theme music to not play. Stupid bug! You go squish now! ːcsdmadː ːcsd2angryː

Hotfix 1 for v1.0.3
Just a quick patch to fix the Discord integration for the game (in case you didn't know, it has Discord Rich Presence!)

Thanks for playin' as always!

CSD 3 is now Steam Deck Verified!


Hey everyone! I dunno about y'all but I absolutely love my Steam Deck, and I'm super excited to announce that we have a brand new patch that officially makes the game Steam Deck Verified! Woo!

We went back and adjusted the font size and clarity for the food descriptions and stats, as well as added some minor improvements to gameplay related code and brought the game up to the latest Game Maker engine build, which should improve performance for some users! As always you can roll back to the last update should you need to.

Thanks everyone and the details are below- and two more things to announce: late July we're going to have some mouthwatering, absolutely Delicious announcements. These are gonna be big ones and you're not gonna want to miss it- be sure to join our Discord or sub to our Newsletter for up to the minute news on the future of CSD!

Secondly we just released our spinoff game, Cook Serve Forever, into early access! If you're looking for a more relaxed, chill game that is a very different type of vibe than the CSD series, check it out! (And it also plays great on the Deck as well!) And did you know if you've bought all three of our games you can get Cook Serve Forever at a nice discount? Check out the Cook Serve Series bundle today!

PATCH NOTES


  • Steam Deck verified support!
  • Improved font size and clarity for certain menus for easier readability on smaller screens.
  • Improved gamepad detection for better handling of menu prompts that would reference keyboard/mouse.
  • Removed opening CSF splash screen announcement.
  • Updated game to the latest Game Maker engine code for better performance. Note that with this change we had to remove Windowed mode, as it is no longer supported by the engine we use. To keep using Windowed mode you'll need to roll back to the previous update (v1.02.03).
  • (MAC only) Fixed an issue that was causing the game to not show Steam alerts when playing the game.
