Welcome to another update! As you may know we've released a brand new game mode "Chef's Arena" and we've been making other content updates recently. We're very happy for the interest after our latest update. You can try it out by creating a new game if you haven't yet.
In this update, we wanted to make some fixes and improvements for the most known issues in the game. We also wan't to give you some update about what we are currently working on.
Here's our freshly whipped up a batch of fixes and improvements to make your cooking adventures much smoother and more flavorful than ever!
๐ณ Sync Improvements
One of the most known issues was the desync problem across the players, affecting certain mechanics like food rating. This was causing players to get different dish ratings on some cases.
We've made improvements for the issues where the baking progress of foods would desynchronize when playing co-op. Now your dishes are even more safer for perfectly timings.
๐พ Saving Problem
We were working on a very rare occuring issue where some players are having problems with saving their game progress.
This was an issue that our team was investigating for a while. Finally, we've adressed the issue with the help of our community! After some long time testings, most of the players who contributed have reported that they no longer have any trouble with saving the game progress.
โจ Bug Fixes
Food Rating Adjustments: Fine-tuned and fixed issues with the food rating scores for a more accurate evaluation of your dishes.
Day Skipping Issue Fixed: Addressed a bug where a few days would skip after starting the game. Now, time flows just as it should.
Mouse Invert Toggle Fixed: The invert mouse option now works properly during gameplay!
Drunk Effect Restored: Fixed the missing drunk effect. You can keep enjoying your drinks!
Autoslicer: Fixed issue with autoslicer machine where vegetables may get stuck in the machine.
Before talking about what is next, we want to share an upcoming game from our friends with you! As you may know, there is a Bullet Heaven Fest going on at the moment. HELLBREAK is a promising game and it has a playable Demo for the event that you may give a try if you enjoy the genre!
We are currently working on the Christmas update. We want to create the perfect Christmas atmosphere for our lovely Neighborhood! Weather reports show that there will be snowing in our neighborhood very soon!
There will be a nice event where you can have and decorate your own Christmas tree by completing event missions.
Also we will have some nice santa claus costumes that you can wear!
๐ฎ Controller Support
Long awaited controller support is finally on the way! We are glad to let you know that we are working on adding controller support to Kebab Chefs! Our aim is to make the game completely compatible with controllers! We want to make sure we provide a smooth and seamless controller experience where you won't have to use your keyboard!
That's it for today Chefs! Thank you for following along and being our kitchen mates so far! ๐งก
