Release Notes for Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!

Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! v1.0 now available! (14Oct 2020)

Finally out of the oven with a massive campaign, local co-op, and tons more!

We did it!! Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! v1.0 is now available on Steam, featuring a massive campaign and tons of new and exciting features for both fans of the series and newcomers alike!

It's been quite a journey with you all, and I just want to thank everyone for all of their support through this year. It's definitely been a difficult one for all of us, but it meant so much to see all of the positive comments and feedback with the game.

While we had planned to also release a Mac version of the game today, we found some last minute bugs with that build specifically and want to take the time to get it right, so we hope to release that before the end of the month.

We're also releasing today on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4!

Below are the small patch notes for v1.00 (a more comprehensive patch was done for v0.99, also included below). Thanks again everyone, and be sure to keep an eye on our Twitter page and Discord for some exciting announcements on our next projects in the future! Also look out for our Twitch and Steam store page streams today and throughout the rest of the month!

UPDATE v0.95 NOTES (31 July 2020)

It's hard to believe that the journey is finally over- the Iron Cook Speedway update is now available with 30 levels in this brand new arena built specifically for speed, combat and deliciousness!

The Iron Cook Speedway is an arena where contestants will race around the track, preparing orders for the judges before pulling into the Judges Tents. Along the way players will race in the combat tunnel, where food truck attacks are common and can happen multiple times in a single race! And with the Iron Cook rules prohibiting protective armor, you'll feel every hit come your way.

The game's mechanics have been overhauled specifically for this event- I wanted to create a fast and unique gameplay style that hasn't been done in the game up to this point, which meant changing the way the game's orders come in and limiting the amount of foods per stop. That, in addition to all of the game's new sound effects and music for this event (and the in-game commentary by @NorthernLionLP and @katelovelymomo ) makes this one of the biggest endings to a game I've ever done. I hope y'all enjoy!

We have some smaller updates planned for the game's 1.0 release coming soon, but I just wanted to say thank you to all the fans and those who have supported us through our first Games in Development release. Without y'all none of this would have been possible, and I am eternally grateful for all of your reviews, feedback and encouragement.

Enjoy the finale, and we'll see you later this summer for the 1.0/console release!!
