• Added Collections (track all items you've collected in the game)
  
• New quest journal UI & logic
  
• Introduced Guidance (tips on how to play)
  
• Updated Weather System (now includes rain and snow)
  
• Enhanced Environment FX (grass, butterflies, particles, and more)
  
• Improved kitchen interactions
  
• Added interior for Mail
  
• Introduced Farming System (plant seeds now)
  
• Changed Fishing mini-game
  
• Added a new NPC (Nancy at Mail)

Hey everyone,

Wow—what a ride! Steam Next Fest has come to an end, and we just want to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who checked out Pao Pao!

Seeing so many of you jump into the demo, leave reviews, share feedback, and even post your best (and worst) kitchen moments has been absolutely incredible. As developers, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching people actually play the game we’ve been pouring our hearts into.

What We Learned

Your feedback has been invaluable. We got tons of great suggestions, bug reports, and ideas that are already helping us shape Pao Pao into a better game. From UI tweaks to gameplay balance, we’re listening, and we’re already working on improvements.

If you had fun with the demo, please consider wishlisting Pao Pao—it really helps us out and makes sure you don’t miss any updates!

This has been an amazing experience, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks again for playing, sharing, and supporting our little chaotic kitchen adventure. We can’t wait to show you what’s next!

See you soon,

— The ArtDock Team
