Reckon he knew he had a banger on his hands when he was writing that one?

This really resonates with me. I adored the counter-culture vibe of early internet and found so much genuine community in its weird corners, but now it's just... noise.

Cook Serve Forever has officially been out long enough! You've had your chance to play the heart-warming story, now I get the chance to share behind the scenes!
Check out my concepts, storyboards, workspaces, still shots, and COMPLETE animated cutscenes from the game!

Aww thanks Brian, I hope our paths cross again too! 🍔

cuties! ✨

Ahhh, this is so cute!

Ah, that iconic first Humble Indie Bundle.

he's just like me

Aw man, thank you so much Hien. We poured our heart and soul into CSF, so that means so much to hear ❤️

I've been really enjoying Cook Serve Forever!!! The art, animation, story, music, everything just feels so rich and full of love. Today I got jumpscared by a Vietnamese grandma speaking some Vietnamese in the game? And a pun restaurant name that I will... tolerate... (I'm very picky about Pho puns)

One of the unfortunate aspects of #gamedev is we rarely have behind the scenes photos, so here's some from the week we recorded the game's voice work in LA back in July 2022. ✨

Cook Serve Forever is out today. This game has had a profound impact on my life. Professionally, sure, but more than that because of the new friendships I've made and the old ones I've strengthened.

Holy crap! You legit might be the first person to 100% the game on Xbox! ✨

WE DID IT! 😭

Immensely proud of everyone on the team, and the story @ryanmatejka.bsky.social and I wrote together. ❤️

(in the tone of a terrible q&a with the audience) Hi Victoria, firstly congrats on the book. Will there be an audiobook version and also what's your favourite meal at white spot? Thank you.

Right back at ya! 🍔

IT'S HAPPENING!

Cook Serve Forever is out on consoles July 31st, meaning you can finally experience this tree-sized narrative!

Massive congrats guys!

woow

This is... basically exactly how I feel. I'm taking solace in the fact Labor still needs the Greens to pass legislation in the senate. But man, the Greens need to do some soul searching after this because this election was so fertile for them and here we are.

Australia 🤝 Canada
Choosing hope, resisting hate.

Dutton losing his seat makes me so proud to be a Queenslander (a very rare feeling).

You absolutely knocked it out of the park! ❤️

Congrats on the launch youse guyses <3

mario kart straight to my mario kheart

Sorry guys, I couldn't concentrate on a single thing from the Direct because I was distracted by the size of this man's suit.

On it! 🍔
