[p]Ready for another blog post? Yes, Chef![/p][p] [/p][p]The time we’re looking at the essential kitchen modules you’ll find in KuloNiku and how to use them. You’ll need them all to prepare your delightful Chef-d’oeuvre. We'll cover the starting stations you'll have, but you'll be able to unlock more as you progress, like Frying, Skewers, Drinks, and more! [/p][p] [/p][p] [/p][p]Washing[/p][p]No good meal starts before hygiene! Make sure you’ve got clean bowls before heading to your stations, rinsing them thoroughly in soapy water. Your beautiful, brimming broth will taste all the better for it![/p][p] [/p][p] [/p][p]Chopping [/p][p]In KuloNiku, you’ll get all sorts of delightful ingredients to slice and dice like chillis, leeks, and garlic. Every order asks for something a little bit different, so you’ll need to pay close attention to the needs of the customer and find the right balance for topping. [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Boiling[/p][p]Now it’s time to set the temperature for the kitchen and boil noodles, meatballs, and various other delicious ingredients in your cooking pot. Follow the recipe, throw the essentials in, close the lid, and let them simmer to perfection. Then you can ladle some of that beautiful broth over the top and watch as it satisfyingly fills your bowl. Mmmm, delicious! [/p][p] [/p][p] [/p][p]Seasoning[/p][p]Time for the final touches! You’ll choose from various seasonings to get the taste of your cuisine just right. Need it to be a bit sweet? Put a squeeze of sweet soy sauce in there. Maybe the customer wants it sour? There’s some salt or vinegar powder for good measure. And don’t forget those chillis if they’re looking for some extra bite. Tray up, provide the right utensils, and ring the bell to serve up!  [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]There’s nothing quite like your customer’s happy face when you get their order just right! See for yourself by wishlisting the game or trying the KuloNiku: Bowl Up! Demo available now on Steam. [/p][p] [/p][p]Until next time, Chefs![/p][p] [/p]

[p]Hello, Chefs![/p][p][/p][p]We wanted to cover a little something today that makes KuloNiku especially charming - Hangouts![/p][p][/p][p]Hangouts are available once you reach a certain level of friendship with a companion character. They'll invite you to hang out after hours and may even take you to one of their favorite places! Let's use Cassie as an example below:[/p][p][/p][p]Cassie is always on the hunt for the next big photo spot, and this time it's brought her (and you) to the mall for market research.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Not only are rewarded with more character backstory, but you'll even get a special illustration for your efforts.

[p][/p][p]Greetings, Chefs![/p][p] [/p][p]First and foremost, thank you so much for your continued support for KuloNiku: Bowl Up!. It means the world for our team to see you playing the demo, wishlisting it, and even streaming or sharing it on social media![/p][p][/p][p]Previously, the game’s release date was listed as “Q3 2025” on Steam. As some of you have noticed, it’s now listed as “Coming Soon”. Today, we’d like to provide more information about the changes in our publishing plans.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p] [/p][p]We’ve Got a Publisher![/p][p]KuloNiku: Bowl Up! now has a publisher! We have partnered with Raw Fury, who will support us in publishing the game globally and ensuring it is in the best possible shape.[/p][p]Raw Fury is the renowned publisher behind hit games like Blue Prince, Cassette Beasts, and Moonstone Island. More importantly, we believe they are great collaborators who respect the developer’s vision while providing valuable creative and marketing feedback. We’re very excited to work with them![/p][p] [/p][p]On the Release Window[/p][p]
After a lot of discussion – internally and with the Raw Fury team – we agreed that KuloNiku: Bowl Up! needs more time in the oven (or the hot pot?).[/p][p]
Rest assured that we're working hard to get it out ASAP, and this extra time will help us deliver something fantastic! No need to worry, though, it won't be another year![/p][p]
We will announce the new release window when we’re ready, so stay tuned here or on our social media.[/p][p] [/p][p]Collaboration with GX Aura[/p][p]
Paging all Aurangers! We’re so excited to announce our collaboration with the inimitable vtuber GX Aura (https://x.com/GXAuraOfficial).[/p][p]
Aura has lent us her voice for the shy and lovable shopkeeper Ume! Moreover, we’re making a special in-game decor item based on her mascot RAMbit.[/p][p]
You can already hear her voice in our latest demo. Speaking of which…[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Demo Update[/p][p]Some of you might have noticed that we have updated our demo.
