Thank You!!!
It has been a crazy and incredible month and we truly thank you for backing us and lending us your support. Chef RPG is fully funded, and all stretch goals have been unlocked to make the game bigger and better!
We are incredibly grateful to develop the game alongside such an active and engaging community. The feedback we’ve received over the past few months has shaped the game to what it is today, and we hope your encouragement and feedback will continue to shape the game throughout the rest of development.
We will be taking a brief (much needed) break over the holidays, and we are excited to jump back into development as soon as possible!
Backer Surveys Coming Soon!
We will be sending out backer surveys in about 3 weeks time to collect your order details and addresses. In the past, backers tend to lose track of emails over the span of a project, so we will send out a second survey when the rewards are ready to confirm your order and confirm your address if you have moved.
We are also partnering with BackerKit to set up a pre-order page in case anyone missed the Kickstarter or want to order additional rewards. A link to our BackerKit page will be posted on our main Kickstarter page soon!
How to Follow Development and Give Feedback
Currently, the best place to follow Chef RPG’s development is on Pixel Architect’s YouTube Channel, where he produces game development videos, design tutorials, and pixel art timelapses related to Chef RPG. You can also follow Pixel Architect on Twitter for frequent updates about the game. The feedback we’ve gotten on YouTube has been tremendously helpful throughout the development process, and the game has improved a lot based on viewer suggestions. We welcome all feedback and ideas you have for the game!
That’s it for now folks! Please keep an eye out for the backer surveys that will be sent out in a few weeks’ time. We thank you again for your generous contributions and we will work hard to make Chef RPG worth your wait!

Hey Chefs! We have just under 2 days left in our campaign and have unlocked our final stretch goal – Fishing Platform – which is a man-made structure located in the middle of the sea, offering fantastic fishing spots and special equipment to catch large amounts of fish and crustaceans!
Here is our third character showcase of the fascinating NPCs you will meet throughout your journey!
Once a reality show contestant in her youth, Nabiha experienced a lavish lifestyle full of parties, luxury cars, and designer clothes. Eventually, she decided to make a lifestyle change and moved to White Ash Harbor to become closer with nature. Even though she had a lot of fun in her youth, she is happier than ever living a simple life as a vegan and running her own fruit stand. In her spare time, Nabiha loves creating sculptures using items found in nature.
A fiery girl with a kind heart, Prisca once worked as a firefighter but was fired when she hit a lackluster colleague during a heated argument. Prisca now plays an active role in helping the community of White Ash Harbor through organizing the town’s seasonal events, cleaning the beach, and helping the local merchants deal with rowdy tourists.
A young fisherman who wants to become the captain of his own boat one day. For now, he works as a shrimping boat deckhand, saving up towards his own vessel. When not cruising the open seas or hanging out at the docks, Aloys likes to tinker with robots, and scouring the land to collect vintage items.
A widower and a father of two girls, Nacim dedicates his time to creating crafts and exploring the beautiful outdoors with his kids. Nacim is also an avid gamer, spending as much of the little time he has remaining consuming the latest video games, often playing late into the night after putting the kids to sleep.
Swordcery is an action-packed, sword swingin' roguelike made by 2 former God of War animators. It's inspired by Enter the Gungeon, Hades, and Dark Souls. You'll wield 100s of magical swords with vastly different powers on your quest to defeat an otherworldly evil that has descended upon the world!
Art Book Sneak Peak, Fishing Platform & and NFT Scam Warning

– Thu, Dec 16, 2021 at 02:08:14 PM
Hey Chefs! Hope you had a great weekend. We have just hit our latest stretch goal: Designer Expansion! The next and final stretch goal will be the fishing platform. This is a floating man-made structure located in the middle of the sea, offering fantastic fishing spots and special equipment to catch large amounts of fish and crustaceans!
Crypto/NFT Scams
Last week, we were notified of a group impersonating our team to run a Cryptocurrency/NFT scam. The situation has since been dealt with, and their website and social media pages have since been taken down. We learned that scams like this are common in the pixel art space and wanted to give a heads up to avoid this if you ever see something like that in the future. Our group will not be openly selling NFTs or cryptocurrencies.
Art book Sneak Peak
By popular request, we created some sample pages for our World Atlas & Culinary Guide art books. The World Atlas features a description and lore of all the places in the game, as well as the characters that inhabit them. The Culinary guide will provide a detailed breakdown of all available recipes in the game, all the ingredients and where to find them, as well as a breakdown of the clientele surrounding the unlockable restaurants in the game. We are always happy to take ideas for more content to include in these books!
Thank for reading and we will be back with more updates soon!

Hey Chefs! We hope you had a great weekend. We have just unlocked our third stretch goal: Expanded Cave Network! Our next stretch goal is an expansion of music-related features in Chef RPG, including working jukeboxes, custom music tracks for main NPCs, and the ability to hire live music for your restaurants!
Continuing from our previous update, here is our second character showcase of the fascinating NPCs you will meet throughout your journey!
On the surface, Bowie seems like a relaxed old man who wants to do as little as possible each day. However, once you get to know him, he will begin telling you about his incredible experiences working as an engineer in a locomotive factory, to spending several years at sea as a fisherman, to finally learning to pilot a plane and spending two decades exploring the different corners of the world. Now that he is too old to go adventuring, he spends his days managing a fish shop, donating all his profits to charities. He loves his job since it lets him chat with locals and tourists every day.
An outgoing woman who lives life to the fullest, Bea met her husband Aimé at a music festival, and they bonded over their love for bodybuilding and partying. They now share responsibility of raising their 6 kids in White Ash Harbor. When not managing the little ones, Bea manages the local bar in White Ash Harbor’s town square, creating delicious cocktails that the tourists can’t get enough of. When she has some free time, she loves to hang out at the beach.
A competitive body builder who loves to show off his gains. Just like his wife Bea, he loves to live life to the fullest and won’t ever decline an invitation to a party. Between working out and helping Bea with the bar, he loves spending time with his kids and taking them to the playground. He dreams of competing in the Olympics one day and hopes his kids will grow up and becomes athletes as well.
A spontaneous girl living in Billboard City, Fleur has a complicated relationship with her demanding family. Her family holds a generations-old café that is a staple in Billboard City’s top 100 culinary establishments and has held its place in the list for over 30 years. The task of upholding this feat was initially passed on to her brother. But due to her brother’s lack of interest in inheriting such a difficult trial, the demanding role was eventually passed on to Fleur. Fleur is a hard worker and talented cook, but can she rise to the occasion and overcome her inexperience?
We hope you enjoyed that read! More updates coming soon!
Our Story So Far & Cost Breakdown

Almost There!
It’s been less than 36 hours and Chef RPG is already 90% funded! We are truly grateful for your support!
Our Story So Far
Noah has been building Chef RPG for the past 16 months. After the project began gaining some momentum online, he left his job as an architectural designer to work on the project full-time, using his savings to keep the project going. Nikita joined Chef RPG this May, and has been a tremendous help with her creative character designs and dialogues. She also draws the beautiful food art for the dishes you will be serving in your restaurants. Tim is the newest member of our team, and we are excited to listen to the amazing music compositions he comes up with!
Throughout the development process, we’ve received a ton of great feedback from Youtube viewers and realized there are many aspects of the game that can still be improved. Kickstarter will help us work on the project full time and create quality gameplay, art, and music. We would also like to bring on an experienced animator to help improve our character and animal sprites, as that is the area where we have less experience with.
Here is a breakdown of how your contribution will be spent:
Stretch Goals Coming Soon
As we are approaching 100% funded, we will be announcing some cool stretch goals! New game features, unique areas, and overall game improvements will be possible as we hit higher goals. Share with your friends and help expand Chef RPG’s gameplay!
In the meantime, if you want to check out the development progress, Noah posts devlogs, architectural design tutorials, and pixel art time-lapses on his YouTube Channel!
Here's a shout out to one of our friends that is also making a chef game, but in space! Check it out as soon as possible, as their campaign ends in less than 24 hours!
