Been working on a line chef sim for two weeks now, made a lot of progress. I worked as a chef before and thought it was a cool idea

Stoves, boiling pot, saute, oven, ticket system, pass all working!

I made a small menu also:
- Thai Chilli Prawns, Salmon Fillet, Fillet Steak, Mussels

Forgot to mention I also added fundamental audio.

Here's me doing some tickets! Salmon Fillet and a Fillet Steak.

Wooh, it's been a good couple of days in terms of progress for this!

Bunch of quality of life improvements, the player can be more efficient now. As well as quite a big map update.

Also finished the ticketing system (of course there might be minor changes to it in the future).

Added a menu screen with difficulty options + Settings!
The difficulty options go: (from easiest to hardest) "Monday lunch", "Thursday lunch", "Saturday night".

SCORE AND RANKING SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED.
The system is based on how many dishes you put out, how well they are cooked and the ratio of complaints to compliments.

See you in the next update, playtesting would be good now actually, so maybe in the next post I'll have that ready to go.

Much love crimmerz

Hey all!

Just wanted to update everyone on things since the open beta launch

I'm still chugging along working. However, I will be away for a week due to travel. But rest assured I will be brainstorming and fixing bugs theoretically

I'm made some progress already tho!

• Items you're holding won't clip through things anymore, looks much nicer now!
• Added boiling/pasta baskets to the boiling pot, now the boiling pot is much more fleshed out

That's all for now! Oh and the custom recipes feature is what I'll be focusing next! It should be pretty easy with the way
I set up the recipes in the first place.

It feels nice when systems you put in place in the beginning make adding later features easier

Alright bye for now.

Hey everyone, long time no see (it's been a week and a bit)

I've had some recent time to think, and while I've been working on the design process of implementing
new features such as new stations like grill and pot wash. I've kind of had to face the reality that this
game was originally intended to be multiplayer, and has always had that as a part of the final game.

The use of different stations and parts of the kitchen just begs the game to have multiplayer, and I can't
help but realize how fun it would be.

So I've made the decision to implement multiplayer now rather than later, as it's very important to me.
I want to be able to play with my friends, on a personal level, and since it's my project I'm gonna do what I want

Multiplayer is not a walk in the park it's a big deal, but with my experience in multiplayer development and new found
knowledge on things I previously thought were too complex before (I would always say I'll get to it eventually, so now's the time).

All in all, it'll take some time, but trust that once it's implemented this will be the best thing I've done in the development of Cook Punk.

Rest assured Singleplayer is and will be just as important and cared for.

I appreciate your patience for those who are waiting!!,

Hey all!

Big update and good news

Multiplayer is now in Cook Punk!



Since the last post I've been working on multiplayer tirelessly.
The multiplayer is online, with lobbying fully implemented

I've been implementing the multiplayer with an authoritative-server design. And I will continue to tweak and polish all the nooks and crannies.

+ As promised, Grill system has been added!

As seen in the above gif, the grilling system is fully functioning. One my favourite parts about it
is that you can organize you're grill. Food safety is important, and it wouldn't make sense for that aspect
to be inaccurate. Of course this is all optional you can grill however you want haha.

I also added some new ingredients: garlic bread & chicken, all grillables!
As well as that, I revamped the boiling system a little now you must use boiling baskets!



Soon to come: Playtesting

I'll be running playtests in the next few days, if you're interested please let me know via here, or the game's discord https://discord.gg/Gx6tamsBs9

Feeling hopeful!

Hey all, been a bit of a time since I last updated on the development

I have been working on the game tho! Here's what I have right now

+ Custom menus/recipes! + UI Improvements

You can make you're own menus and recipes/dishes now! This is also fully functional in multiplayer! So you can now play you're custom menus with friends too!



As you can see you can add new menus completely, modify menus, add dishes, modify dishes.
Just simply select a menu from the menus column, then start adding or modifying dishes. All available ingredients
and garnishes are available on the ingredients column on the right.

Also, now there's actually somewhat of a 'house-style' to the games UI!

+ Fryer!
A deep fryer has been implemented, right now you can only make fries, but I plan to add onion rings, calamari and other things possibly such as corn ribs. Please let me know of any suggestions! Suggestions for new items/ingredients will always be welcomed and this will be an ongoing thing.





Soon(er) to come: Playtesting

I said I was going to run playtests in the next few days, but I honestly felt I needed to polish a bit more, so it's been postponed, but now we're a couple steps closer to playtesting!

Been very tired recently, but feeling hopeful and staying diligent to the vision!
I hope you guys like it

Hey all,

Big update, I actually made this progress weeks ago but I just didn't get the chance to post here

So, what's new?

+ New enemy AI!



Now, whenever you get an order wrong or run out of time on a ticket, a Front of House
waiter appears and throws plate projectiles at your (or your friend's) head!

This is a big gameplay choice that I made sort of on a whim, but I hope the reception is good!
If not I'll definitley have to do some rethinking...

This addition thus leads into the other new feature!

+ Combat!
For the first time, there is combat! Murder the waiter with a swift crack to there head with a frying pan

That's all for now!
