Early access Update II is live and it brings the sharpest tools in the kitchen: a brand-new KebabSeek AI companion in the game, a jump to Unreal Engine 5.7, and a full pass on stability, controls, and flow.

Sharpen your skewers and guns! Here’s what’s on the menu: [/p][p][/p][h2]🤖 KebabSeek – Basic AI Agent Representation[/h2]

• [p] Talk to the main-menu with our main character AI powered by DeepSeek; ask for tips, lore, or the perfect döner rotation answers are instant. [/p]

[h2]⚙️ Engine & performance[/h2]

• [p] Migrated to UE 5.7: lower memory footprint, faster graphics, higher average frame-rate on mid-tier GPUs. [/p]
• [p] Rewrote locomotion graph: acceleration & deceleration curves are now frame-independent, giving silk-smooth movement across all refresh rates.
  [/p]

[h2]🎮 Gameplay & Systems[/h2]

• [p] Save system rebuilt from Chapter 1 to Chapter 12. [/p]
• [p] “Last 10 seconds” notifier appears above every customer; missed tickets should be history.
  [/p]
• [p] Tutorial completely re-scripted: shorter, clearer, no unskippable waits.
  [/p]

[h2]🔧 Bug fixes & Polish[/h2]

• [p] Fixed Sena’s dialogue gate in Level 4—conversation triggers reliably.
  [/p]
• [p] Widened interaction capsules in Chapter 4 to eliminate “Talk through the counter” collision edge-cases. [/p]
• [p] Goldman’s internal timer reset on order hand-off; no more infinite waiting loops.
  [/p]
• [p] Minor audio desyncs, missing ingredient icons, and two soft-locks squashed.
  [/p]

Thanks for the mountains of feedback.

Season the next build with your reviews, bug reports, and wildest feature ideas.

We’re reading every ticket.

And we will produce a 3D representation of our character in game, and probably new cinematics included our character in Chapter 12-13.
[/p][p]We will integrate dynamic our AI Agent characters in short term and will throw a case and they will be automated in long term (AI Agent Customers, AI Agent Chefs).

What you have seen in the last 1 years while developing this game and everything right now will remain very simple.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us! We are here with the first update of Early Access. Based on your comments, we've made some critical changes to make the game smoother and more intuitive.

Here are the v0.1 Update Notes:

[/p][h2]🔪 Gameplay & Mechanics[/h2]

• [p]Faster Prep: Ingredients to be cooked now spawn directly on the cutting board.
  [/p]

  [/p]
• [p]Level Design: The "Flying Carpet" has been removed from the first 4 chapters. Ingredients will no longer be picked up from the carpet, simplifying the early game flow.
  [/p]

[h2]🎓 Revamped Tutorial[/h2]

• [p]Checkpoints: Added checkpoints to the movement tutorial so you don't have to start over if you make a mistake.
  [/p]
• [p]Video Explanations: Updated the movement system instructions with direct video tutorials for better learning.
  [/p]
• [p]Music: Added specific looping background music to the tutorial section.[/p][p]
  [/p]

[h2]🛠️ Bug Fixes & Improvements[/h2]

• [p]Audio Settings: Fixed a bug where sound volume and effect settings were not saving correctly.
  [/p]

  [/p]

  [/p]

  [/p]

[hr][/hr][p]We will continue improving Kebabstar together. Please keep sharing your thoughts and any bugs you encounter with us. This is too early but you can't believe what do you see in next long-term development cycles.
