Pizza Slice News

[h2]Ciao Pizza Managers![/h2][p][/p][p]The restaurant is now prepped and ready for its first hosts.

1. [p]The goal of this playtest is to check the basic gameplay loop for the game. The foundations need to be solid before we move on and start adding additional features on top.

[h2]Ciao Pizza Managers! [/h2][p]
[/p][p]When going to a restaurant we all expect proper lighting - an atmosphere, mood, where everything feels more magical and the food tastes better. Well, the same can be said about working in a virtual restaurant! [/p][p][/p][p]We’re in the process of revamping the entirety of the game’s postprocesses. The game now looks more beautiful and dreamy! Exactly like how you imagine an Italian restaurant with traditions. More vibrant colours, slight fog and better lighting really lit up the scenes. Refreshed environmental models also add more charm and cosiness, see for yourselves![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]How about the interiors?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Here’s some more screenshots taken from our work in progress:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]We are preparing to set-up closed beta playtests for the game in the near future. If you would want to join and help shape this Pizza Slice with us, be on the lookout for upcoming news and announcements, where we will disclose more information.[/p][p][/p][p]To remain up to date with everything Pizza Slice don’t forget to Wishilist and hit that Follow button! [/p][p][/p][p]We also encourage you to join our Discord server, where you can talk to other fans waiting for Pizza Slice and also directly with us.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]See you at the table![/p][p]The Gaming Factory Team[/p][p]

Running a pizzeria is more than just baking – it’s about keeping your customers happy, managing the dining room, and handling the growing crowd. And when the place starts getting busy, you won’t be able to do it all alone. But don’t worry – help is on the way!

Meet the Waitress!

Today we’re sharing the first look at our in-progress waitress character. She’s still in development, but we’re excited to show you her early concept art and 3D design work. From outfit ideas to first animations – she’s getting closer to making her debut in-game!



The waitress will be your right hand in the dining room – taking orders at the tables, serving pizzas, and making sure your guests leave with a smile. With her on board, you’ll be able to focus more on baking, upgrading your place, and growing your business.

When Will She Join the Team?

At the start of the game, you’ll be the chef, the boss, and the manager all in one. But as your pizzeria grows and traffic picks up, you’ll unlock the option to hire staff – and that’s when the waitress comes in. You’ll choose when and how to bring her on board, depending on your strategy and needs.



Let us know what you think of her design on Discord – your feedback is always appreciated. And don’t forget to wishlist Pizza Slice on Steam to keep up with the latest updates!

[h3]See you at the table![/h3]

Pizza Slice is heating up – and not just in the kitchen! In today’s devlog, we’re taking a closer look at the people walking the streets of our pizza-loving city. Yep, we’re talking about NPCs – and how we’re making sure each one is as unique as your favorite pizza topping combo.

No Clones Here – Every NPC Looks Different!

We didn’t want to populate the streets with cookie-cutter characters. That’s why we’ve built a randomization system that creates tons of unique NPCs. From hairstyles and clothing to accessories and color palettes – each citizen will have their own style. Some of them might even become local legends.





Their Taste Buds, Your Challenge

But it’s not just about how they look – our NPCs react to what you serve them! Depending on the ingredients and quality of your pizza, you’ll see a variety of reactions: smiles, surprise, and sometimes… awkward silence.



We’ve already created several customer reactions and sample pizzas, some of which you can preview in this devlog. In the future, we plan to expand this even further with new customer types, preferences, and expressions to make every order more meaningful (and a bit unpredictable).



What’s Next?

Our team is currently focused on expanding the variety of pizzas, improving customer feedback, and fine-tuning NPC behavior. We want your pizzeria to feel alive – where every customer has a voice, and every slice tells a story.

Join our Discord and let us know what kind of characters you’d love to see in-game! And if you haven’t already, make sure to wishlist Pizza Slice on Steam so you don’t miss the latest updates.

[h3]Until next time – and remember: every customer brings a new story to bake![/h3]
