Kebab Chefs! - Restaurant Simulator News

Hey Chefs,

Just here with a small and quick fix for the gourmet requirements where Monsieur Anton requires Pizza to be invited.

Have fun!

👨‍🍳👩‍🍳 Greetings Chefs!

[h3]Time to take your gamepads out! We're happy to announce that Kebab Chefs has now full controller support!

Also you can enjoy the fully designed and tested Steam Deck experience![/h3]

We encourage you to play with any XBox, Playstation or Steam Controller.

[h2]🎮 CONTROLLER & STEAM DECK SUPPORT[/h2]




Enjoy a seamless cooking experience from the comfort of your couch. Your kitchen, your rules! Anywhere you play!👨‍🍳🕹️🔥



We’re actively working on bringing Kebab Chefs to console platforms with the full release! Stay tuned for updates as we continue expanding our kitchen.

[h2]🍕NEW PIZZA RECIPES[/h2]




Pizza lovers, rejoice! We’ve fully revamped our pizza recipes and visuals to deliver the tastiest and most authentic pizza making experience.

Also we've added brand new pizza recipes you can unlock by mastering your pizza making skills! Of course, we couldn't think of a Kebab Chefs without the Kebab Pizza!

You can now unlock these new Pizza recipes:

• BBQ Chicken Pizza
  
• Veggie Pizza
  
• Pepperoni Pizza
  
• Kebab Pizza
  
• Meat Lover's Pizza
  

[h2]🍽️ MENU SYSTEM REVAMPED[/h2]




One of the things that we've not been favoring about Kebab Chefs was preparing a menu for the day. It's cool to have a daily menu every day. But the problem with the current menu system was that it was being quite dull. There were no parameters or conditions that can influence the way we prepare our daily menu.

That's why we felt the need to give a purpose for creating a menu every day. This is where food tags come in!

Bakery - Chicken - Fast Food - Kebab - Luxury - Pizza - Soup - Vegetarian - World Cuisine

Now we have all of our recipes tagged with 9 relative culinary categories and their unlock progression over those tags.

Also each of these tags have their unique menu bonuses which you can combine and benefit from! You can find the current bonus table on the left side of your menu.

You can unlock new recipes by leveling up each category on it's own!

What About Already Existing Saves?

As you know, Kebab Chefs is still in early access and can still may get save resetting features until the full release. But it's not the case now.

We also made a merging between the old and new system that can predict the levels on each category according to your game progress. So you can just continue from where you left off. But you're always welcome to start a new run to get the full new experience!

[h2]💥 BREAKABLES [/h2]




Ever felt the urge to dramatically slam down a plate after a stressful service? Now you can! Plates and Beer mugs are now fully destructible! Whether it’s an accident or just a burst of kitchen rage, shattering ceramics has never looked or sounded so satisfying.

Just be careful... broken dishes don’t clean themselves. 😉

Check out some WIP shots our artist have taken for you! We can not wait to show you some gameplay elements.

Note: Visuals below are still work in progress and definitely not final images



We are very excited for this and other updates we've planned for Kebab Chefs as we are getting closer to our full release this year!

We appreciate your patience for getting the Q1 update one month late than normally planned. We decided to work on some extra stuff before releasing the patch. We want thank you all for following along so far.

That's all for today and we hope to see you with some gameplay mechanics from our new game modes and seasons update!

Hello Chefs!

We've been silently working on our Roadmap as we shared in our anniversary post. We are excited to show you what've been cooking for a while.

While we continue to work on improving and adding new features for Kebab Chefs, we also extend our operations by publishing a new game on Steam!

[h2]HELLBREAK[/h2]


We are thrilled to announce our new game HELLBREAK which has a demo available on Steam right now! It will have a huge update, and a new map playable for upcoming Steam Next Fest event!



HELLBREAK is a fast-paced, skill-based FPS action game with roguelite survival mechanics! It’s a game where quick reflexes, strategic decision making, and relentless combat come together for an adrenaline-pumping experience.

If you are a fan of the genre, we strongly encourage you to check it out!

[h2]What's Cookin Inside The Kitchen?[/h2]


Now it's time to step inside the kitchen to see what's cookin!

[h2]New Pub Game[/h2]




We are adding a new game that will create funny moments for your spare time at bar! Now you will be able to play horse racing while sipping your drinks. It's almost done and will be included in the upcoming update.

[h2]Controller Support[/h2]




We are almost there for a complete controller + steam deck experience for Kebab Chefs! You can see some of the ingame screenshots with controller gameplay. I think it suits very well with our game! You didn't hear from me but Kebab Chefs with a controller is very intuitive and different experience!

[h2]New Menu System[/h2]




We felt like our current menu system was very plain and had some shortcomings. We are enhancing our menu system for a whole different gameplay to help players create more effective menus. Think of it as a dynamic way to optimize your restaurant for different customer types and trends!

We are planning to introduce 9 different food tags, each with its own benefits and challenges. And just like a real restaurant, trends will shift over time, meaning the best combinations won't stay the same forever!

This system will encourage chefs to continuously adapt, experiment, and find the best synergy for their customers and the changing seasons. We can’t wait to share more details soon!

[h2]Pizza Overhaul & New Pizza Recipes[/h2]




As mentioned above, Pizza's will have it's own tag. So we said "there should be more pizzas!". As a part of our new menu system, we are adding even more pizza recipes with more variety and ingredients! You will be able to use sauces and meats for your pizza recipes now. Also we made some visual improvements for our existing pizza recipes.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading all! Stay tuned and stick to us for more! You can join our discord to get notified for the new content instantly!
