Hi everyone, sorry for really late update. We have fixing several bugs, and rebalance several stuff. Major Bugs When cancelling some Minigame, the game stucks, and cannot type anything. It seems the animation bugged, so it crashes the whole game. VIP customer resets all other orders, it should not happen. The level won't finished in level 6-4 and 6-8, it's because the rat spawns really fast, we have limited so that the rat won't spawn if there's no more customer.

Localization Bugfixes: - For French, there's a bug in Tortilla Mini Game in Mexican Restaurant, the word "trancher" should be written with "tr" rather than "t" only, to prevent clashing with "tortilla" and "tomato" - For Portuguese, So many fixes here, mainly because of the localization file use modified apostrophe rather than backtick, so it has a format error - For Spanish, now allowing the letter with diacritic to be written with letter without diacritic.

It's February 2023, we've just finished our incubation program for GameJam+. We have worked on The Chef's Shift, for about 2 months by then. And we thought "Damn, this game is pretty good than expected, I wonder if there's publisher that want to publish it". To be newbie in this line of work, we send borderline spam email to publishers that might have an inch interest to our game. We knocked the doors and said "Hello, we make game, and it's pretty good! We need money!" or so. Toge Game Fund Initiative {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43966288/a3ac8429e88264b3fabef54f09a11bab6b9bf1dd.png And then we remember
