Hey backyard chefs!
The response to the demo has been amazing. Thank you for the kind messages, reviews, and all the time you’ve spent playing. Seeing your restaurant and farm builds (and the chaotic moments in between) has been genuinely motivating for us. We’re taking notes on what felt great and what felt frustrating, and this update focuses on making building smoother while continuing to clean up recurring bugs.
Based on what we’ve been hearing, building has been one of the trickiest parts so far. So in this update, we added a few new features to make building smoother and easier to use, while also fixing some of the recurring issues you’ve been running into. We hope this helps you stay creative and enjoy the flow while designing your restaurant. Please keep sharing your feedback on Discord and the Steam discussions; it helps us a ton.
