========================

Life update from the main developer:

TLDR - There will be one more major update towards the end of the year with big features and a full release.

Hi everyone, I’m still alive and doing well! I know it’s been a while (a year and a half), but I’ve been taking care of a lot of personal things. From moving across the country to finding a job that I actually really like, my life is the most stable that it has ever been. Naturally, this freed up more time to work on Let Him Cook. I did not want to say anything in advance because I wanted to include this message with the update to let you guys know that I’m serious about Full Release.

We plan on fully releasing this game by the end of the year/beginning of next year with one last major update. We will host at least two playtests before then. If you are interested, please reach out to Producer John on Discord. As always, if you find any bugs feel free to post it via Discord or Steam.

I still enjoy making this game and it’s still a game I want to play. To all the fans that stuck around, I really appreciate the support and I truly hope you stick around towards the end to see how much this game can offer.
