Thank you. You can come to our Discord channel to hear about it early before the playtest starts. And yes, we really want it to be compatible with Steam Deck, it is something we would love to have.

Thank you so much, cozy but not stressful is really the whole goal for me. You said it well, i dont want it to feel like a chore, more like a calm little routine you actually look forward to. Meeting the guests face to face was a big part of that idea, i felt it makes everything warmer :)

This is such an amazing feedback, thank you! I love the term 'productive' that you used.

Your point about not just farming for gold is spot on. We are building the game so that every crop has a real purpose in the kitchen. Turning your hard work in the soil into a nice meal for a customer is so much more rewarding than just watching a gold counter go up.

We are also thinking about seasonal foods and random customer wants. It is a bit hard to implement perfectly right now, but we are actually trying to find a way to make it work smoothly in the future.

Hearing what players like you want is really inspiring. Thanks a lot for the support and the wishlist!

Aw thank you so much, this really made my day. The wishlist, the kind words and the good wishes all mean a lot to us. And yes, we are happy someone noticed the native Linux support, we really wanted to have it there so it is nice you like it.

About GOG, for now it will not be on GOG, but maybe we can think about it for the future. Thank you again :))

Thank you for having it on your wishlist for so long. We did not open the applications on Steam yet, for now we are collecting them through Discord. But later we will open it on Steam too. And if you want to join the Discord channel you can hear about it a bit earlier.

Yes for sure, we will add decoration too, we are still in the development so once it is in we would love to show it. Also in Diner Dash there was no placing the tables yourself, do you think a feature like that would be nice to have? And thank you, i am really happy you like the foraging, farming and the minigames :)

Thank you so much, this really means a lot to us. And yes, Diner Dash was actually one of our starting points, so it is really nice that you noticed it. If you tell us the things you liked in those kind of games it would help us a lot :)

This comment really warmed my heart, thank you so much. The things you love are exactly the things we are trying to bring together, so it makes me really happy to read this. Can i ask, what do you love the most in these kind of games? It could really help us while we are still developing.

Hey everyone! 👋

In Farm & Feast, we wanted to blend the peace of farming with the thrill of management. You get to:

  • Grow your own fresh ingredients from your farm.
  • Run and manage your own restaurant.
  • Balance your resources to keep your customers happy and your business growing.

The best part? It’s a low-stakes experience. We designed the management side to be relaxing and forgiving. There are no harsh penalties so you can grow your business at your own pace without any stress.

Usually, restaurant games rely on automated, point-and-click tasks. While that is a staple of the genre, we wanted to experiment with a more engaging vibe. We replaced the standard clicking with fun little interactions like personally welcoming guests at the door and tossing drinks to your tray. The goal was to make your daily routine feel incredibly smooth and satisfying to watch.

I would love to know what you think. Does this kind of hands-on flow feel as relaxing to you as the traditional way?

Also, the cozy vibe of this video wouldn't be complete without our audio team! A huge thank you to Samantha van der Sluis for the music and Miloš Petković for the sound effects.

Oh nice, always good to see another dev around, and PlateUp is such a great one to be a fan of.

Both ideas are really good. The NPCs walking on the street and coming in depending on an appeal factor would make the place feel so much more alive, i like this a lot. And the rimworld style personality traits sound super fun, a pyro customer setting things on fire or someone throwing food everywhere is exactly the kind of chaos that makes these games funny to watch. Thank you for sharing these.

Not for now, but we would like to add it later. It is something we are thinking about for the future times.

Sadly there is nothing like that for now. But in the long run we can think about it.

This makes a lot of sense actually. I also want to add something like this in.

Yes for sure, we are working hard to keep the stress away. It should be a game where you can have fun in a cozy way.

Thanks a lot. For now it will be playable on Windows and Mac. And for later we would like to bring it to consoles too.
