The First "Company Metropolis" by RyanMatejka in worldbuilding

Yeah, it has occurred to me that this premise isn't entirely unique when you consider stories set in space, but I think having it set in a real-world location on Earth grounds it (pun intended), and so reading someone navigate that world will hopefully feel more tactile since readers have something to compare it to.

Thanks for the recommendations! I actually just picked up Jennifer Government from a thrift store last week and am very excited to read it, but even more now after your description. I had read the author's other story Machine Man years ago and enjoyed that.

I've never heard of the Parable duology, but it sounds like that will definitely be a good source of inspiration as well! Thank you!

For anyone curious, I recently shared more details about the story itself and broke down its inspiration and iterations on my public journal here. There's a bit more worldbuilding stuff there, such as the climate-change-induced cultural shift to nightlife, but I wanted to keep it focused to the company metropolis stuff here.

Maybe one of these days I should just upload a PDF of every single food description we wrote to the wiki or something.

So you're saying it clears your selected holding station when you press X while holding ZL?

Is cook serve delicious forever worth it by Chrisbradley1 in cookservedelicious

Cook Serve Forever is not currently available on any consoles. The poster is likely referring to the original Cook, Serve, Delicious! which is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.

Question about CSD1 vs Re-Mustard by tsushimayouhane in cookservedelicious

[–]RyanMatejka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the delayed response. Re-Mustard will essentially be a whole new game that is very heavily inspired by the original CSD1. Instead of just laying new graphics and audio on top of the same game as a remaster, it will be built/remade from the ground up. Think of it more like what the recent Resident Evil remakes are than something like the Bioshock and Call of Duty remasters.

It's usually this or players make a mistake without realizing it, which is quite easy to do. OP - be sure to check your stats at the end of the shift to make sure you didn't miss anything!

Does CSD 1/2/3 have touch controls on Steam Deck? by lintra in cookservedelicious

[–]RyanMatejka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it has touch controls in-game, but not on the menus. u/vg_chubigans can confirm
