PlateUp! News

Hello Chefs,

February is upon us and love is in the air and in keeping with the time of year we are excited to announce the PlateUp! Valentines update!



The update will add the new Couples mechanic, the couples will need a little more dedication and attention to make their meal extra special. You will find the couples are a little less patient when inside your restaurant, but they do come with increased queue patience. And don't worry they will be easy to spot in the crowed as they will have little hearts floating around them.

There is also a new romantic themed map, the ability to choose the setting of your restaurantt in the main lobby area. You may also notice the return of the Host Stand which will allow you to choose the best locations for your customers to be seated.

Finally we are also happy to be featured in the Friendship Games Week where you can check out PlateUp! and all the other amazing games being featured in this Steam event:

Hey Chefs,

We are excited to announce the first of many updates to PlateUp! this year: the Chinese New Year update, which launches today with a historic 34% discount.

The Chinese New Year update introduces a new main dish in the form of Dumplings. Dumplings are a very popular and traditional Chinese New Year dish, which also come with the option of a host of side dishes including Mandarin Slices, Bamboo Shoots and Crispy Seaweed.

You will also notice that the restaurant is kitted out with lanterns and other traditional decorations for the holiday, as well as a new themed hat to get into the spirit.



Additionally, customers may leave you red envelopes as gifts. These envelopes will contain additional blueprints to make sure the year of the Rabbit brings prosperity - and an extra hop in your step.

We hope this festive and fun update will add a little spice to January!

There's never been a better time to get stuck into PlateUp! And if your friends are looking to pick up a copy, they might also like to know that PlateUp! is available with an additional discount in the new Yogscast Games Multiplayer Bundle alongside Golfie, the roguelike, deckbuilding, minigolf game which is celebrating its full launch from Early Access today!

Both games offer brilliant online multiplayer fun, so do check out the bundle today.
