Pizza Empire, a brand-new tycoon game coming soon!
Hi Chefs! We're super excited to announce a new game we're working on! Pizza Empire is a tycoon in which you'll manage your own pizza chain while dealing with the mafia in a diverse living city. Sounds exciting? It sure does for us!
Before you'll check out the screenshots below and read more about the game's features, we just want to make one thing straight: Even though Big Cheese is expanding and there are many exciting things going on in the studio, Cooking Simulator is our #1 priority. We have a number of awesome updates scheduled for the upcoming future so stay tuned and don't miss out!
Pizza Empire In this tycoon you’ll start by picking a spot for your pizza place, then hire some staff, contract suppliers and create your first menu. Understand your customers and deal with the mafia to expand. Soon your small pizzeria will grow into a true pizza empire spanning across the city.
Key Features:
Manage your own pizza chain
Deal with the mafia
Expand your pizza empire throughout a diverse living city
Outsmart your competition
New York is the city of business, opportunity and of course pizza. What better place to build your Pizza Empire? But there is a catch. It’s the 90’s. No internet, no cell phones and mob operations are still thriving in the city. Plus the outfits are ridiculous. Can you handle it?
The city The city is divided into boroughs, each with different demography which translates into customers having different fancies, expectations and tastes. That makes expanding into new territory super exciting, almost as if starting a new restaurant from scratch. Additionally city boroughs are built of city blocks. Each block has its own community and its own points of interest - places like museums, theatres, schools, factories, police stations and even mob hideouts. Explore the blocks to learn about the needs of communities and complete missions to win people's hearts. Or you could not do that and instead ally yourself with one of the mobs, drive out the competition and leave the people no choice but to love your pizza. But be careful, when dealing with the mob, because it’s a slippery slope.
The mafia There are several mobs in the city, and they hate each other. Dealing with one will affect the others. You can accept their “friendship” and rise through the ranks, even help the mob to rule the entire city. Or you can stand up to them and deal with the consequences. Though I would advise to make friends with the police and hire some security. Each mob has a native borough where its influence is the strongest, there are even blocks where you don’t stand a chance without the godfather's blessing. However most blocks remain neutral, with just some mob influence. Watch out for conflicted blocks, where different mobs are trying to gain power. Attempt diplomacy to wiggle your way out of the conflict or play a dangerous game of switching sides. Mobs also present opportunities, siding with a mob will open up new ways to affect your competition, like harassment, bomb threats or sabotaging their supplies. But everything comes at a price, the mob will require you to complete special tasks, anything from throwing a birthday party for Sonny to staging an assassination in one of your places. Just remember that the media and authorities won’t turn a blind eye to your shady dealings. That is unless you pay them off.
The pizza However thrilling and enticing, the mob stories are just the background to running your pizza business. You won’t build an empire without expanding. It’s crucial to pick the best spots for your restaurants. Mob sympathies aside, restaurant placement affects the demography and the number of your customers, delivery range, and in turn influence over the borough and neighbouring blocks. You can even set up next to your competition to starve it out. Next up is designing your new restaurant. Choose the furnishings that will best attract your customers. Of course the space available will affect your storage and guest capacity and overall satisfaction of both guests and staff. Be creative and remember that each of your pizzerias will be at least a little bit different. Flexibility is the name of the game also when it comes to food. Create your own pizza recipes to conquer the hearts of different customers. Experiment with your menus and adjust to special events taking place in the neighbourhood. Be sure to keep an eye on the newsfeed to be always prepared and plan ahead to acquire game-winning supplies.
The empire But your empire isn’t just about opening restaurants. Securing the best (or the most cost-effective) ingredients and storing them is just as crucial. That means opening warehouses and managing deliveries. You will also need to set up delivery areas for your pizzas and in turn build up a fleet of delivery vehicles. The staff also won’t manage itself, or will it? Laying out timetables for your employees, hiring new talents and laying off deadbeats might be fun at first, but as your empire grows and encompasses more and more restaurants, you will need help. Hire resourceful managers to take some load off your shoulders. Every empire is built on conquest. And with conquest there’s conflict, and casualties are inevitable. Your competition needs to be taken care of. Of course, you could just make tastier pizza and provide more robust service, but you can’t count on your competition to keep things fair, now can you? Better hire some security, just to be on the safe side. Or even better, go on the offensive! Plan aggressive advertising campaigns, discredit your competition in the media, undercut their supplies or just open up next to them and starve them out. And when things get hairy, you can always ask the Don a favor…
Here's the first patch in 2021 for Cooking Simulator containing variety of fixes for the game and the expansions. Our main focus is improving Cooking Simulator and expanding it with more content. There are more updates coming soon, stay tuned!

B-17 Squadron coming soon!
Hi guys! We're very excited to announce a new game we're working on. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think! We'll still be working on improving Cooking Simulator and creating new content for it, so stay tuned for future updates!
[previewyoutube="mt2U9U6XLmw;full"]
Take control of a B-17 in a realistic bomber simulator. Destroy key targets by dropping tons of bombs on them. Command each member of the crew and feel their stress and tension. Take part in the historical campaign across occupied Europe.
Key features:
Manage a B-17 crew.
Take direct control over every squad member.
Destroy targets.
Fight enemies.
Command an entire bomber squad.
POWERFUL AIRCRAFT, STRONG CREW Your plane is fully armed and has tons of cargo on board. However, even the best-armed and equipped plane is nothing without the efficient crew to make up a successful team. You will be able to sit at the controls as captain or co-pilot and control this powerful machine as well as manage the flight parameters, engine revs, flaps, etc. In the radio operator's room, you can send and receive reports, study the map, and lead the squadron to its destination.
RETURN HOME You dropped your bombs, didn't you? The target has been eliminated. But you're not done yet. To take part in another mission as a commander, you need to return the bomber and crew home. This might be difficult, especially if your machine has been damaged. You will feel the tension as you watch the aircraft being damaged. You know that if the plane is finished, so is the crew. However, remember that you have an engineer on the board, so try to be creative and use what you have at hand to solve any issues that arise.
MANAGE THE PLANE You will have to face more than the anti-aircraft missiles and Messerschmitt squadrons attacking the formation. Your tasks will include keeping an eye on fuel, ammunition, and bombs. At high altitudes, you must also pay attention to your oxygen supply. Make sure your crewmates remember to put on their masks. Sometimes it will be necessary to sacrifice part of your cargo to have enough fuel to reach the airport. You will have to deal with malfunctions such as a burning engine, broken wheels, a jammed bomb hatch, and others.
NOT A FIRST-CLASS FLIGHT The flying fortress mission is not a first-class vacation flight. The living conditions of the crew will not be comfortable. There will be constant stress, adrenaline, and the struggle for survival. Your weapons will help you survive the storms of anti-aircraft missiles and the attacks of enemy fighters.
Additional protection against the enemy will come from maintaining the proper combat box formation. Twelve bombers are posed to be the most difficult target for the enemy. You will be able to manage the entire wing to complete the mission.
We wish you an amazing Winter Holiday! May the last days of 2020 be filled with joy, kindness and peace. To celebrate with you this amazing time of the year, we've released a new free content update.
The update includes a new decoration for the Classic and Modern kitchens, a new recipe (2 versions!) for Christmas Ham plus updated frames for Photomode. To install the decoration use the decorations tab in the laptop.🎄
Also don't forget about the special game mode. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And what better way to celebrate than with a festive feast? Invite guests to a delicious Christmas dinner in your luxurious mountain cabin, set the time you’ll need for preparation, and get cooking. Take note of the guests’ preferences to make them extra happy. Pick difficult recipes to impress them or just serve some of your favorites and have yourself a merry little Christmas! To access this game mode, start a new game and choose Winter Holidays from the list❄️

Cooking Simulator VR news!
Hi Chefs!
Here's some news from the GameBoom VR who are working on Cooking Simulator VR!
We are here today with the new gameplay video showing the progress of our game. We are continuously working on Cooking Simulator VR and we feel that the time has come to open up for community input. But, before we go into the details… let’s make some soup!
[previewyoutube="2VR3bkri_uA;full"]
We are now mostly focused on polishing and bug fixing, but we also want to hear from you - what you think about the game now and what has to be added for the release. We need a bit of time to gather and implement your feedback and that’s why we plan to release the game in Q1 2021. We believe that it will be a much better product if we apply community feedback and it’s worth taking that additional effort.
If you are excited (as we are!) about the game and want to try Cooking Simulator VR and help us, we have good news - we have just opened registration for Beta Phase 2.
Currently we plan to limit this phase of beta to 500-700 players, but you’ll get email from us regardless whether you qualified or not. If you fill the registration form expect an email around 17.12.2020 (probably in the Promotion tab, or some other weird place in Inbox) and that’s when the Beta Phase 2 is scheduled to start.
Patch #7 (v4.0.34) changelog: - Fixed: disappearing spoiled dough pizza when rolled - Fixed: Dough score automatically failed when an order is given out with a spoiled dough - Fixed: Incorrect descriptions for certain quests. Certain descriptions asking for 'any sauce' while the quests required a specific sauce - Fixed: Order time is now properly updated during overtime phase - Fixed: Cutting machine not closing properly after dropping the basket - Fixed: stains not appearing in the basement - Improved: various minor sound improvements- Improved: changed the mixer sound to a longer version - Improved: increased required time in certain speed quests - Improved: optimised sounds performance - Improved: default mapping for AZERTY keyboards.
