News from the world of pizza!

Ciao Pizza Managers!


Time flies and we're back with another devlog! Today we have some information about our work on Pizza Simulator and our plans for the coming month. Let's start because anyone who drags their feet will end up with a cold pizza.



[h2]It's behind us[/h2]
Life doesn't always work out the way we want it to - but it's always pizza time. We've recently completed work on the pizza dispenser, and ingredient application and added the stand models and new blockout. We are also halfway through creating the main menu, which we hope to show you soon.


[h2]Work in progress[/h2]
We are currently working on customer AI. Not only do they now enter our atmospheric restaurant, but they also order a delicious pizza, eat it, and tell us what they think. In the near future, we will focus on pizza rating and the systems that go with it, namely money, quality, and Italianness (an extremely important indicator that is unique to our production). In addition, we are beginning to work on the warehouse, the dishwashing station, and one of the first obstacles on the map - the stains on the floor, which effectively slow down the serving of the pizzas. We almost forgot the most important one! The first concept arts of our main character are also being created, which we will tell you about soon.


[h2]Ah those customers[/h2]
When it comes to our wonderful customers and their reactions, we can expect real comedy and sometimes drama. If we serve them a burnt or bad pizza, we can expect a lot of unhappiness and shouting in our direction - the Italian temperament is like tomato sauce - sometimes it can be spicy. But beware, if we serve them something that ignites their senses, get ready for a storm of applause and maybe even a tip! Don't forget that sometimes the queue at our pizzeria can be like sitting in a doctor's waiting room. If the wait gets too long, be prepared for some unpleasant words, creative use of Italian gestures, and a possible heel turn and dismissal.


As you can see, we've been paying a lot of attention to detail lately. Our aim is to provide you with entertainment that will bring more smiles than a double-cheese margarita. We won't stop until the game tastes like a delicious pizza! Join us on Discord, all you pizza lovers, and don't forget to add Pizza Simulator to your Steam wishlist, just like we put pizzas in the oven!

Pizza at full speed!

Ciao, Pizza Managers!

We're back with another dose of tasty news from the world of Pizza Simulator! We are working hard on the project and we are not slowing down! We'll have some big news to share with you soon, but first, let's catch up on some current events.


[h2]Work in progress[/h2]
We are currently putting the finishing touches to the mechanics of the pizza-making stations mentioned in the previous devlog. Soon you can shape the dough, cut ingredients, add sauces, and bake to your heart's content! We also focus on the concept of the menu, its elements, and the main character - which we will tell you about soon!


[h2]Next steps[/h2]
In the near future, we plan to work a bit more on the systems we want to implement in the game, including customer interactions. We also want to finish more of the interior and design of our restaurant, as well as adding a warehouse - essential for storing all the fresh ingredients.


[h2]Development stages[/h2]
We can tell you a little bit about the career path and promotions in our game. We are initially planning 10 levels, each of which will introduce different gameplay elements, from new recipes and equipment, to employees and the look of the restaurant. Remember, the bigger your pizzeria, the more customers and challenges you will face!


That's it for today, but we'll be back soon with another devlog. Join our Discord and add Pizza Simulator to your wishlist on Steam!

Baking pizza in progress!

Ciao, Pizza Managers!


We wanted to let you know that we are planning a major revolution in our Pizza Simulator project. After much thought, we have decided to rebuild our website on the Steam platform - we want it to be clean and aesthetically pleasing. We promise that the pizza will be even tastier, the gameplay even more dynamic and the humour even more explosive! Now that the formalities are behind us, let's talk a bit about the specifics.


[h2]What are we doing?[/h2]
We are currently working on different stations where the player will prepare the pizza and its ingredients. Each room will play an important role in the creation of this Italian speciality. Amongst other things, we want to include a room for preparing the dough, baking and putting on the sauce, but that's not all! We have also started to work on our customers. We want them to have their own unique personalities and behaviors. They will move around the restaurant, placing orders and responding to your service. We are creating a system that allows you to interact with them in a dynamic and rewarding way.

[h2]What are we planning?[/h2]
An important part of our work is the development of various systems that will influence the gameplay. We want you to feel the real Italianness in every detail and at every step! We are planning to introduce a system to rate the quality of your order, which will depend on the care taken in preparing it and the quality of the ingredients used. You will also have to manage the finances of your pizzeria and take care of its reputation in order to maintain your business despite the many competitors in the area. In the next stage, we will focus on preparing the look of the restaurant and its surroundings. We want to create a real Italian atmosphere, with charming streets, colorful facades and the aroma of delicious pizza wafting through the air.


This is the end of the devlog, but it's only the beginning of a great adventure in Pizza Simulator! We encourage you to add the game to your wishlist on Steam and join our Discord - together we will make the world's most delicious pizza! Thank you very much for your support and patience. We'll be back soon with another devlog full of new information.

Devlog #10 Status Update

Hello Pizza Managers!

We want to reassure all of You that the game is still in development. We have reached the point in the game making where we need to stop and think - is this really the game we would like to play?

We have just finished working on the core game loop (basically an early version tutorial) to test if the game will be fun and challenging, and the results are... somewhat ok. Mechanics are alright; pizza making is okay etc...

Currently, we are working on AI for the clients so they can place orders without making hilarious/scary things with their bodies.

It might take a while until the next Devlog appears, as the stuff we currently have in the game will probably be changed visually to fit the new design, which we hope to present to you as soon as possible.

Stay awesome, Your Pizza Managers' Team,
Desand Game Studios and Gaming Factory S.A.
