Hello, Chefs! 👨🏻‍🍳

Thank you so much for playing our game and for being an incredible part of our journey. Your feedback, whether through discussion comments, in-game feedback, or other channels, has been invaluable to us. We truly appreciate your passion and insights as they help us improve and grow together.

Now, we’re excited to bring you the latest update for Coastal Kitchen Simulator. This patch will include exciting new features and challenges. Here's what's new:

[h2]Feature Updates[/h2]
1. Transfer Ingredients Between Utensils
You can now transfer multiple ingredients between utensils, like moving chopped items from your kitchen knife to an ingredient container, or between containers. This makes your food prep faster and your kitchen workflow much smoother.

2. Cold Storage Room
A dedicated Cold Storage Room is now available to help you store unopened ingredient boxes more efficiently. This gives you more space and keeps your main kitchen area clutter-free.



3. Ingredient Spoilage System
Be careful where you leave your ingredients! Anything left outside of Refrigerators or the Cold Storage Room will spoil and be automatically discarded at the start of the next day. Proper storage is now more important than ever.

4. Daily Operational Costs
Running a restaurant isn't just about cooking. Now, you’ll also need to cover daily operational expenses, including Rent, Water, and Electricity. Managing your finances wisely will be key to keeping your business afloat.

5. Daily Report UI Update
The Daily Report screen has been refreshed with a cleaner layout, making it easier for you to review your performance, earnings, and progress at the end of each day.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed box position so it now lands properly on tables when thrown.
  
• Fixed a bug where two lightboxes with the same menu would cause one to disappear after loading a save.
  
• Fixed ingredients placed outside containers disappearing after a game reload.
  

Coastal Kitchen Simulator continues to grow with each development milestone, adding more depth and realism to your culinary journey. 🦞🥘

We always open to all feedback and suggestions to make this game as mature as possible. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts.

Thank you for being part of the community.

Cheers 🧑🏻‍🍳

Hello everyone 🦑

We’re beyond excited to announce our upcoming game Coastal Kitchen Simulator, where you’ll run a cozy seaside kitchen and serve up fresh meals to hungry beachgoers! Whether you’re a casual gamer or a culinary sim enthusiast, this game offers a relaxing yet engaging experience as you manage ingredients, take orders, and build your dream coastal eatery.

As we start shaping the first playable version, we’ve been focusing on refining the core player experience—making the kitchen flow smoother and more intuitive. Here’s what’s been cooking in our latest development update:

1. Improved Ingredient Box Placement
We’ve adjusted the spawn location for ingredient boxes to keep the delivery area tidy and uncluttered. This change helps improve kitchen flow and prevents unnecessary chaos when multiple deliveries arrive at once.



2. Simplified Cashier Access
Cash register interactions have been optimized for quicker and easier access to change, cash, and cards. Whether you're handing over change or receiving a payment, this update makes the process feel smoother and more responsive.



3. Enhanced Food Visuals After Consumption
We’ve updated the visuals of items eaten by customers—now featuring a more pink, sashimi-like appearance for certain foods. This adds a touch of realism and improves the overall dining aesthetic in your seaside kitchen.



4. Double Ingredient Per Box
We’re currently testing a new system where each purchased ingredient box contains 2 items instead of just one. This ongoing update is aimed at increasing kitchen efficiency and reducing the frequency of restocking.



That wraps up our very first development update for Coastal Kitchen Simulator! 🎉
We’re still in the early stages, but every tweak and feature we add brings us closer to delivering a cozy, satisfying kitchen management experience by the sea.

Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to let us know what you’d love to see in the game. 🦀🍽️
