- Dev blog #2: What we've been working on! - 1 June 2026
Hey, Emperors! 👋 We hope the cheese on your pizza has been gooey and the fries with your burger extra crispy! It's been a bit over a month since our last blog, so we thought we'd give you a tasty update on what the team have been cooking up recently. Alongside all the gameplay and environment improvements we’ve been working on, we’re also currently in the middle of a graphical overhaul for Food Truck Empire. We felt the game’s visual style leaned a little too heavily into the “cozy” direction, while our goal is for Food Truck Empire to feel closer to a more traditional management/simulation game. However, we do still want to keep the charm and personality that you've all been loving so far!A lot of what you’ll see in this blog reflects that ongoing visual shift. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the new direction! Please keep in mind we are still working on the graphical revamp, so ev…

- Development Log #15 - Synths, Soul & Sizzle 🎷🎹 - 5 June 2025
Hello there, Emperors! 👋 Today we’re diving into something that might not be in your recipe book, but it’s just as important - the music. That steady groove you hear while flipping patties or slicing tomatoes? It’s part of the Food Truck Empire. Let's start from the beginning Our composer, Marcin, grew up playing tycoon games like Transport Tycoon Deluxe and Theme Hospital - games where the music was as iconic as the gameplay. Back in the day, those games pulled inspiration from jazz, funk, blues, soul, and R&B. But here’s the twist… The technology was limited. So instead of fully recorded tracks, you got MIDI compositions interpreted by your sound card - making every track a little bit funky, a little bit synthetic, and completely unforgettable. That’s the flavor we’re channeling in Food Truck Empire. From plasticky pianos and too-shiny brass to synthetic bass guitars and stiff drum k…
- Food Truck Empire joins The Days of Ramadan Festival! 🌙 - 3 March 2025
Hello Emperors! 🍔 We're thrilled to announce that we've joined The Days of Ramadan Festival! 🚚 At first we thought - “A game about food at a festival centered around fasting? That’s quite the contrast"! But the more we considered it, the more we realized how much food plays a role in bringing people together - especially during Ramadan - when meals like Iftar and Suhoor are moments of connection, tradition and community for so many families. While our game is about running a food truck business, it’s also about the joy of sharing meals and creating something people love at its heart. We’re honored to be part of this festival and to celebrate the cultural and culinary traditions that make food so meaningful beyond just eating. Quite literally, joining this festival is a food for thoughts for all of us and brings us additional perspective which we cannot be more thankful for. To those o…
