As we get ready for the festive season, we're thrilled to unveil the latest happenings in the world of Saloon Simulator. December has been an intense month for us, full of changes and improvements, especially in our cooking mechanics. Let's dive into the tasty details!
The Cooking minigame has undergone a major overhaul this month, with the aim of striking a balance between accessibility and challenge. On the one hand, we've made it easier to use, so that everyone can prepare food easily and enjoyably. On the other hand, we've introduced a special opportunity for culinary virtuosos - a chance to show off their skills by earning bonus points during the mini-game. These points will enhance the taste of your dish and increase the tips you receive from delighted customers.

We've also revamped the food ordering system. Now our esteemed guests will wait at their tables for their orders, just like in a top restaurant. We're also thinking about introducing an option to hire extra help. What do you think? Feel free to leave your comments and let us know your preferences.
In our monthly office poll, the standout 3D model was undoubtedly Jack's General Store Cart. At first glance, it's clear that its owner has impeccable taste. This cart will be the source of all the basic ingredients for our culinary delights and refreshing libations.

At present, all of the primary foundational mechanics are firmly in place and operational. Our focus is now on debugging and what we affectionately call "juicing" - those fine-tuning elements that enhance certain mechanics and make them even more satisfying.

Finally, we extend our customary invitation to join us on our Discord channel, where we love to engage with our community. We'd also like to extend our warmest holiday wishes to those celebrating this season, and a happy new year to all. The coming year is a pivotal one for us, as it marks the opportunity for you to experience the Prologue - the complete beginning of the game - for free. The future chapters of our game depend on your invaluable feedback.
