[h3]👉 Follow our Kickstarter and help unlock some free digital goodies before the campaign launches![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]We’ve got some exciting news: we’re launching a Kickstarter soon to support the development of American Cooking Simulator: Multiplayer![/p][p][/p][h3]Why a Kickstarter?[/h3][p]We’ve been working on American Cooking Simulator: Multiplayer since March 2025. In that time, we’ve been funding everything ourselves with no grants or sales (the singleplayer is free, after all). Just student budgets, side jobs, and a lot of late nights.[/p][p]We’ve come a long way and made a ton of progress already, but our savings are running low. We’re confident we can make ACS:M the best it can be if we can focus on it full-time for a while.[/p][p]So for this final stretch, we’re asking for your help. 💚[/p][p][/p][h3]What’s the goal of the Kickstarter?[/h3][p]Our funding goal will be fairly low (at least as low as it can be for a small team like us), but enough to finish a small, polished version of American Cooking Simulator: Multiplayer with one full region containing 8–10 levels.[/p][p]Of course, we also have bigger dreams:[/p]

• [p]More regions[/p]
• [p]A VS mode[/p]
• [p]Deeper customization[/p]

[p]…and other cool ideas.[/p][p]We’ll talk more about those in the coming weeks, but they’ll be treated as stretch content, not “you only get a game if we hit everything.”[/p][p][/p][h3]What if the Kickstarter doesn’t reach its goal?[/h3][p]Good question.[/p][p]Even if the Kickstarter fails, we still plan to finish American Cooking Simulator: Multiplayer in a satisfying way. It’ll just take us longer, because we’ll have to go back to working on it on the side.[/p][p]So the game will still come out at some point. We just won’t be able to say when.[/p][p]Also important: On Kickstarter, you only get charged if the campaign reaches its funding goal. If we don’t hit it, you’re not charged at all.[/p][p][/p][h3]What if I don’t have money to back?[/h3][p]Totally fair. And you can still help a lot without spending a single dollar! 💚[/p][p]You can support us by joining our Community Achievements. They include little goals like:[/p]

• [p]Following the Kickstarter page[/p]
• [p]Wishlisting the game on Steam[/p]
• [p]Joining our Discord Server[/p]
• [p]Following us on Social Media[/p]
• [p]Sharing the game with friends who might like chaotic co-op stuff[/p]

[p]To start with, if we unlock five Community Achievements before the campaign launches, we’ll add a limited Early Bird tier where you can get a game key with 20% off.[/p][p]Every little bit does help![/p][p][/p][h3]Did you say Discord server? 👀[/h3][p]Yes! We’ve set up a brand-new Community Discord Server![/p][p]In there, we'll share:[/p]

• [p]Weekly dev updates[/p]
• [p]Screenshots and clips of what we're working on[/p]
• [p]Weekly activities and challenges[/p]
• [p]And stuff related to the upcoming multiplayer demo[/p]

[p]Come hang out, yell about burnt burgers, and help us shape the game. 🔥🍔[/p][p][/p][h3]A demo?! 🎮[/h3][p]Yep! We’ll be participating in Steam Next Fest (23rd February) with a public demo of American Cooking Simulator: Multiplayer, so you can finally experience for yourself what we’ve been cooking up.[/p][p]Don’t forget to wishlist the game to get notified once the demo drops! (It’ll most likely go live a few days before Steam Next Fest starts.)[/p][p][/p][p]Lastly, thank you all so much for your support so far. It’s been a wild couple of months, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on. [/p][p][/p][p]See ya soon![/p][p]— The Freedom Burger Games Team[/p]
