ETAO PODCAST, EPISODE 135.
When David Galindo came by to reveal ChefSquad, he mentioned that his studio was working on its biggest game yet. We now know that the game in question is Cook Serve Forever, and game that isn’t a continuation of the Cook, Serve, Delicious! trilogy—but it also isn’t not a continuation of that series. Cooke Serve Forever is every which way an attempt to think beyond the Cook, Serve, Delicious! games, carrying forward their apocalyptic timeline into a solarpunk post-post-apocolypse, while also rethinking what the mechanics of a cooking game can be.
You can wishlist Cook Serve Forever on Steam.
The Vertigo Gaming catalog is on their website.
You can also follow David on Twitter.
