Game update, future plans, new Steam Event

Hi everyone,

First of all, I would like to thank you so much for supporting Hot Pot For One. Started off as a student project developed by a two-person team, this game has gone far beyond our expectations, and we are blown away by all the positive responses and reviews from our players. I am so appreciative of everyone who played and enjoyed the game, especially those of you who provided their honest feedback and suggestions.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you all know that we heard you. Thanks to your support, we are able to continue working on the game part-time and improving upon the current features while introducing new ones.

In today’s update, we have fixed a number of bugs reported and optimize some of the features, including

• Optimizing food pick-up

• Fixed food falling off plate during clean-up

• Fixed issue: unable to place food back in plate

• Simplified controls for pause menu and food clean-up

• Fixed physics error with hot pot base when restarting the game

• Fixed: Instructions repeatedly pop up

• Fixed: food preventing fridge from opening

Here are some of the many features we will be working on:

• Continue optimizing gameplay interactions and interfaces

• Creating new original soundtracks

• Creating new memory illustrations

• Steam Achievements

• Controller support

• Language localizations

And many more… Stay tuned for new updates :)

We would also like to take this opportunity to announce that: we are going to be part of this year’s Game Devs of Color Expo! It is an annual game exhibition that is dedicated to amplifying the creative power held by people of color in games. Hot Pot For One will be a part of Gradient Convergence, the Steam event that features over 40 games created by developers of color.

The event dates are September 23 - 27, and we are looking to do a live stream of us playing and chatting about the game. If you have any questions you would like to ask us, feel free to pop in and say hi!

Take care, and happy mid-autumn festival! Hot Pot For One team
