Hey Chefs! We're excited to announce we're developing a new game: the sandbox RPG Dustgrave. In Dustgrave, you embark on a unique journey in every playthrough across the lands of the once mighty Dahlan Empire, now a shattered shadow of its former glory, full of dangers and warring factions. We used the experience made with Chef to create a game with a fully dynamic narrative in which every choice is recorded and used to adapt the narrative to the current context!

We're partnering with Digital Tribe Games again to get this game in your hands. We will soon share more details, so wishlist the game if interested!

In our spare time, we are also preparing a new update for Chef. Developing Dustgrave is challenging, but following users' feedback, we are trying to improve Chef by balancing the content and removing some bugs. We hope to be soon able to release this update!

As always, thank you for your support!
