That's right! Undertale Cooking with Kindness has turned 2 years old! It was on this day 2 years ago that a group of people who didn't know what they were getting into decided to start concepting everything that would eventually grow into Cooking with Kindness.

And not just that, but in the past week we've also managed to hit 500 followers on Gamejolt! Thank you all to everyone who's been following us.

With that, and the start of 2026, one question remains:

What now?

Last month, we announced that we'd started playtesting. Now? Our major waves of playtesting have come and gone and we've adjusted the game in response and fixed whatever we could. Yes, this means that besides some general polish, the internal demo is more or less FEATURE COMPLETE! Huzzah!

So, the question becomes when will YOU, dear reader, be able to play the game yourself? Well... It'll likely still take a few months. As we said, the internal demo, whose function was to see if the game was fun for testers (it is now!), is complete. The full public demo still needs some additional work. A couple of extra customers, minigames and more still need to be implemented, and we'll be working on those in the upcoming months. But all our work the past few months on ironing out the foundations of all our systems is finally over, which means everything should go along much faster and more smoothly now.

So to answer the question, when will you be able to play the game? If all goes according to plan, Spring! We won't be showcasing too much more until the demo releases to keep the surprises intact, I hope you understand.

In other news, keep an eye out over the next month for a big announcement! I can't quite reveal what it is, but trust me, it'll be a right craic!
