Hey Chefs!
The kitchen has been busy - and today we're serving something we're really happy about.
Our demo just received a big update, and whether you've already played it or haven't tried it yet, now is a great time to jump in. We've been listening to your feedback, squashing bugs, and reworking some systems that weren't quite hitting the right balance.
Here's everything that's new on the menu:
🍜 Improved tutorial - We trimmed the talking and let the cooking do the explaining. Same heart, less hand-holding, better flow.
⚡ Improved time & energy balance - This one we'd especially love your thoughts on. We've rebalanced how time and energy work throughout the demo, and we're curious how it feels to you.
🏮 MUCH better opening hours mode - Less complicated, more fun. This mode was a bit of a puzzle before - now it finally makes the sense it always should have.
🎮 LOTS of bugfixes - Better gamepad support, fixed minigames, more stable build overall. If something was bothering you before, there's a good chance it's been taken care of.
💌 New missions - Little Jack is waiting… - Our little furry regular has a few new requests for you. We won't spoil anything. Just go talk to him.
This is still a demo, and there's a lot more coming - more missions, more cities, more recipes, and features we can't wait to show you. But this update is a big step toward the full experience we're building.
The demo is free - no strings attached. If you haven't wishlisted Foxy Dumplings yet, now's a perfect moment. It helps us more than you might think. 🫶
We'd love to hear what you think - especially about the new balance. Drop your thoughts in the comments or come chat with us on Discord!
See you in the kitchen!
