| Main Menu Overhaul | 2024-05-28 | For a while now, we have been unsatisfied with the main menu in One-Armed Cook. It was confusing to use, and had unnecessary sections and buttons. We’ve completely redesigned the main menu, in style with our more recent game One-Armed robber. The two menus are now very similar in design. This makes the one-armed cook menu much more intuitive to use. The entire menu has been condensed down to a single easy-to-use screen. In the previous design you would have to press several buttons before you were able to play the game, now only a single click is needed. Previously you would have to select whether you wanted to play singleplayer or multiplaye |
| Multiplayer improvements | 2023-09-19 | Movement A lot of players have recently complained about the multiplayer in One-armed cook, therefore we have spent a lot of time reworking the player movement system, as well as the item physics to improve the overall multiplayer experience. And we believe that we have done so. Physics items Multiplayer is now smooth for hosts as well as clients even when their ping is high, physics items now smoothly replicate and it is way easier for clients to handle items. In the past when players had high ping, there would sometimes be a delay between clicking on an item and picking it up. That has been completely fixed, and picking up items is now inst |

We've remade the maps, while still trying to keep the original floor layout, in order to not confuse anyone who are used the old maps. |

| Freddy’s fried chicken | 2022-11-30 | A new map has just been added!

| Changes to the experience system | 2022-11-06 | Changes have been made to the way you earn experience. Previously the level was completed and XP was given based on the amount of customers you served, completely ignoring the accuracy and quality of the food you served. XP will now be given based on the amount of money you earned during the level. In the lobby you now have the ability to choose the “game length” in other words, how much money you have to earn to complete the level before the time runs out. The other side tasks remain unchanged. This way XP is given more fairly to the players who focus on making the best food! We think this is a better way to award players who focus on the ac |
