[h3]Howdy there fellow Space Chefs 👩‍🍳[/h3] Firstly, we owe you a galaxy-sized thank you for joining us on this interstellar adventure. It's been quite a journey since our humble beginning in 2019 with a mere spark of an idea. Who knew that spark would ignite the creation of the galaxy's greatest Interstellar Culinary Action-Adventure Game. Try to say that 5 times fast with a Sweat Potato in your mouth 🍠 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1272290/Space_Chef/ [h3]🚀 Looking Back at Our Cosmic Journey[/h3] Rewinding back to 2019, we started with nothing but a wild idea about a person waking up on an abandoned spaceship. And somehow that turned out to be a chef. Fast forward to 2021, and we have this incredible community supporting us and our vision. Thanks to you, our dream began to take flight at warp speed. Now, here we are in 2024, amazed by how far we've come together. [h3]👾 Squishing Bugs on the Culinary Frontier of Space Chef[/h3] As we navigate through the cosmos of game development, we're thrilled to say that all the major features of Space Chef are nearly complete! But, as with any grand space expedition, there are obstacles - in our case, about 4298 bugs. Ok, there aren't that many bugs, but it's still a decent amount that we need to squash. [b]Picture this: [/b]one minute you're squishing a bug that took a mere 5 minutes to fix, feeling like a Galactic Bug Warrior. The next minute, you're wrestling with a code-beast that's determined to play hide and seek for 5 days straight. It's like cooking a complex dish, where adding a pinch of salt somehow turns the soup into jelly. In the wacky world of game development, every fix is a new adventure. It's a bit like whack-a-mole, but with keyboards and a lot more caffeine. One moment everything's running smoother than a Graffle on a hoverboard, and the next, you're watching a beautifully rendered Beefle do the cha-cha instead of walking, sliding around like it's on ice. Ah, the unexpected joys of game development! [h3]👩‍🚀 What's Cooking in the Development Kitchen?[/h3] We're hard at work squashing these bugs and going over each and every small and big part of the game to ensure your experience is out of this world. While we might not be at the finish line just yet, we're closer than ever, with our thrusters set to 'polish and perfect' mode. We've also finally been starting to play the game from the start, to make sure that everything from tutorials to progression is logical and isn't confusing. This will be improved in several steps after playtesting, that we will start when most major issues have been fixed.

This knife is dull, isn't it?[/i] [b]NPC Dialogs and Quest Enhancements: [/b]We've expanded the universe of Space Chef with a bunch of new dialogues and quests. Alongside these additions, we've introduced several intriguing NPCs scattered across the galaxy. Your mission? Find these characters and tantalize their taste buds with your culinary creations!
