I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next major update to Chef RPG, and it’s finally here! Chef RPG Food and Festivals, version 0.7, is a major content update that includes five seasonal events, additional cooking minigame overhauls, themed furniture, new music, graphics options, game improvements, and a handful of bug fixes.

Chef RPG Seasonal Events in Version 0.7

As mentioned, there are five seasonal events added to the Chef RPG, including:

  • Spring Harvest
    • “Anna-May & Mae-Lou are hosting a farmers’ market to celebrate their recent harvest. Head over to Takashi Farms on the 14th day of Spring to join the party! This is an introductory festival, and is non-competitive.”
  • Beach Solstice
    • “It’s the hottest day of the year! Celebrate with the townsfolk on the eastern beach on the 22nd day of Summer. End the night with a lantern lighting competition!”
  • Pumpkin Hunt
    • “A relatively new tradition in White Ash Harbor, embrace the spirit of Autumn by smashing pumpkins! Compete against other characters to see who can smash the most Pumpkins inside the time limit. Collect dozens of pumpkin-themed items and furniture. The Pumpkin hunt takes place in the Ashy Swamps on the 17th day of Autumn. A short side quest (repeatable every year) is available in the days before this event, if you have unlocked the Greenhouse.”
  • Night of Spirits
    • “An age-old tradition in White Ash Harbor. Work together with the townsfolk to guide the spirits towards sources of food. Head to the hills north of the town square on the 26th day of Autumn to join this spooky event. A short side quest is available only during this event. (Note* The Tea of Life quest in Act 2 must have been started for this festival to appear).”
  • Gingerbread Bake-Off
    • “This is the White Ash Harbor’s biggest event! Everyone in town will be participating, and tourists travel far and wide to see it. Join the townsfolk and work together to bake a giant gingerbread house! This festival takes place over 3 days, beginning on the 25th day of Winter, and ending on the 27th.”

Each festival features unique activities to participate in and rewards for you to earn, thanks to Festival Tokens, which carry over between events. You can save up your Tokens to purchase unique rewards, including festival-themed furniture, like couches, beds, tables, and stoves.

Chef RPG Cooking Minigames Overhauled

As part of this major content update for Chef RPG, the team at World 2 Studio overhauled a few of the cooking minigames, including:

Chef RPG Barista Machine

Chef RPG Stove Minigame

Chef RPG Bug Fixes and Improvements

Improvements
