  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. The Achievement bugged, it has been fixed. The rat isn't spawned in endless mode, it has been fixed. The word generation in case of case insensitive is wrong, before, it could produce the word like "be" and "BEFORE" in the same time, and it makes impossible to write "BEFORE", it has been fixed now.

• Changelog v1.0.33 - 2 April 2025

  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.

The 5th restaurant, level 2 is not accessible in Chinese Language: We forget to put the pinyin on the localization file, it has been fixed. jusqu'a in French language can not be typed: It’s because the apostrophe is replace with a fancy apostrophe in localization file, we decided to remove this word in the list.

• We Have Graduated From TGFI Program, and Here Is Our Thought About It - 24 January 2024

  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".

We need money!" or so. Toge Game Fund Initiative And then we remembered that Toge Productions has a funding program called TGFI (Toge Game Fund Initiative). They basically gives 10k USD freely for funding your game until the vertical slice of your game. Pretty neat, huh? So you might think, what's the catch? Well... you guess it right, there's a catch, but it's not really big deal for us. The catch is "Toge will have the Right of First R…
