Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! News

We're so pumped today to reveal several new developments for Cook, Serve, Delicious! including an all-new remaster of the original CSD!

For those that haven't heard: Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! has a new update out now! We wanted to take this opportunity to really make sure CSD 2 works great on the Steam Deck, and so we've gone in and added a larger font size when playing on the deck for the food descriptions, modified the initial options to make sure the game looks great when you boot it up on your Deck for the first time, and updated it to use the latest Game Maker engine for faster performance on both Windows and Deck. Full patch notes here!

Cook, Serve, Delicious: Re-Mustard! is coming to PC and consoles in 2024! You can read more about the new features on the Steam page (be sure to wishlist it!!) but we plan on adding new modes, new features, more foods, a new campaign, while still retaining the same classic gameplay as the first game. For those who want to shake things up a bit, we also plan on adding an all new Typing mode that tests your Ingredients-Per-Minute! Look forward to more details in the months to come!

For the first time ever, the OG Cook, Serve, Delicious! is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and Xbox! It always felt odd to have CSD 2 and 3 on consoles but not the original, and this is a great way to enjoy a classic before the all new remake comes out next year. Be sure to grab it on your platform of choice when it arrives on consoles later this year!

A new Early Access update will release in August for Cook Serve Forever! This update will have all new locations, more story, new achievements, new side quests, new foods, and lots more! We've been working hard over the last few months on the gameplay side of things and making the game run smoother and faster, and this is our first major content drop since launch.

I'm extremely excited to announce that CSD 2 is now fully Steam Deck compatible with this brand new update!

We wanted to take this opportunity to really make sure CSD 2 works great on the Deck, and so we've gone in and added a larger font size when playing on the deck for the food descriptions, modified the initial options to make sure the game looks great when you boot it up on your Deck for the first time, and updated it to use the latest Game Maker engine for faster performance on Windows and Deck.

In case you missed it, we also recently made Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! Steam Deck compatible! And if you want a change of pace from the fast rush that the CSD series provides, might I recommend our newest spinoff "chill" title called Cook Serve Forever that slows down the tempo and allows you to cook in a relaxing solarpunk story based adventure! Grab it with a discount in our CS Series bundle:

GAME ADDITIONS

• Game is now officially Steam Deck Verified!
  
• When playing on Steam Deck, font size and certain elements are increased for better legibility.
  
• The game now uses the latest version of Game Maker, improving performance across Windows and Steam Deck.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the window to be off center for certain monitor setups.
  
• Improved gamepad detection when playing on Steam Deck.
  
• Note that the game only offers Borderless and Full Screen window options- due to the change in engine code we can no longer support Windowed mode. You will need to roll back to the previous version of the game via the beta branch to keep Windowed mode support.
  

SPECIAL NOTE

If the game is not detecting the Steam Deck controls, you may need to manually set the game to use the Proton compatibility function. To do so, follow this guide:

1. Select CSD 2 from the Steam Deck library.
   
2. Navigate to the settings (cogwheel icon) on the right side of the game page and select it.
   
3. On the pop-up game settings menu, navigate to and select Properties.
   
4. In this game properties screen, choose Compatibility from the left-side menu.
   
5. Check the box titled 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.'
   
6. From the new drop-down box underneath, select Proton 8.0-3.
   
7. Return to your game and check for updates if it doesn't happen automatically
   

Edit: We've been informed the NVIDIA must first whitelist our games, which should be happening in the coming days. Apologies for any confusion/inconvenience!
