Hi everyone,
First of all, I would like to thank you so much for supporting Hot Pot For One. Started off as a student project developed by a two-person team, this game has gone far beyond our expectations, and we are blown away by all the positive responses and reviews from our players. I am so appreciative of everyone who played and enjoyed the game, especially those of you who provided their honest feedback and suggestions.
I would like to take this opportunity to let you all know that we heard you. Thanks to your support, we are able to continue working on the game part-time and improving upon the current features while introducing new ones.

We would also like to take this opportunity to announce that: we are going to be part of this year’s Game Devs of Color Expo! It is an annual game exhibition that is dedicated to amplifying the creative power held by people of color in games. Hot Pot For One will be a part of [i]Gradient Convergence[/i], the Steam event that features over 40 games created by developers of color.
The event dates are September 23 - 27, and we are looking to do a live stream of us playing and chatting about the game. If you have any questions you would like to ask us, feel free to pop in and say hi!
Take care, and happy mid-autumn festival!
