Hey everyone! I’m excited to show off our all new Point Shop avatar frames and stickers for the entire Cook Serve Delicious series- and you can grab these games at heavy discounts as part of the Steam Daily Deal!

And hey, why not wishlist our upcoming remake, er, Re-Mustard of our original Cook, Serve, Delicious! game? We’ll have more details on all the exciting new features and improvements in Re-Mustard in the future, so be sure to follow as well!

Point Shop Extravaganza

I’ve been a big fan of all the cool stuff you can find in the point shop, and animated frames are easily one of my favorites. We had a whole ton of lore to choose from when making these, so how did we narrow it down for each game? Here’s our artist Tristan with more details!

Hello! As we were creating frames for each of our cooking games, I took a look back at some of the art previously done for CSD 1,2 and 3. You can see what I ended up using for inspiration below as well as what concepts I came up with. For CSD 1, I focused on the environments and weather. For CSD 2 and 3, I focused on the different restaurant and food truck logos. And for CSF I focused on the delivery robots and also the art style of different elements of the game.

I signified the basic idea of movement in the black arrows seen below. We picked a few for each game and I was then tasked with creating the final art. Most of it was just creating the different art assets and hand drawing some of the frames of animation but our writer Nick’s After Effects knowledge really was the MVP for this project. I’m really happy with how they all came out but I think my favorites are the shrine from CSD 1 and sushi belt from CSD 2. I hope you enjoy all our hard work on these when you get to sport them yourself!

More Cook, Serve, Delicious! to Come!

I’m very excited for the future of the CSD series- while we’re busy wrapping up our side project, Cook Serve Forever, I’m eager to get back into the fast paced mechanics of Cook, Serve, Delicious: Re-Mustard! And hey…who knows what’s next after that. Well, I do, but I can’t really say much more just yet.

Stay tuned and stay delicious!

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.

Be sure to join our Discord[discordapp.com] or sub to our Newsletter[vginc.substack.com] for up to the minute news on the future of CSD -- thanks for all the support!

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.

2. Navigate to the settings (cogwheel icon) on the right side of the game page and select it.

Hey Chefs!

The year of Cook Serve Forever is almost here! We hope you’ve had a fantastic 2022, and to cap it off we’ve got some special holiday gifts for you.

Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! was our team’s first foray into proper storytelling in a game. While we’re very proud of the story we told, its integration into the gameplay meant that only players determined enough to play all the way through the 45+ hour game actually got to experience it. In the indie game industry, we call that a real bummer.

So, for this holiday season, we have compiled every cutscene and moment of in-game story dialog from CSD3 into a single 27-minute-long movie on YouTube. Check it out right here, complete with chapters for easy navigation:

We have some big stuff to announce about Cook Serve Forever soon — but in the meantime here’s a little tease of the first campaign menu from the game:

Ahh yeah that looks slick and worth adding to your wishlist!

But hey, who says this holiday gift has to be limited to one image? We'd like to also formally reveal the Cook Serve Forever box art!

We’re discounting our games across all platforms for the holiday season! This is a great time to finish your collection or pick up a gift for a friend!
