Evaluation
Chef RPG entered Early Access on September 12, 2024 and remains actively in development toward a full 1.0 release. Since launch, the developer has shipped five major content updates: Version 0.6 (March 6, 2025), Version 0.7 "Food & Festivals" (August 31, 2025), Version 0.75 (December 18, 2025), Version 0.8 "Flavors" (February 28, 2026), and the Tidehaven update (Version 0.85, August 21, 2026). These have been accompanied by regular feature patches and bug fixes throughout the Early Access period, with the most recent patch arriving on September 9, 2026 — just one day before today's date.
On April 10, 2026, the developer published a detailed roadmap confirming the remaining work before 1.0: a Version 0.9 update focused on localization and wrapping up side stories, and a full 1.0 launch that will introduce Billboard City, the conclusion of the main story, and late/end-game content.
The September 9, 2026 patch notes explicitly state that the team "will soon be starting work on our next major update, which focuses on adding translations for multiple languages, as well as content and improvements to several core gameplay systems" — directly matching the Version 0.9 plans from the April roadmap. Development is clearly active, communication is consistent, and the announced content pipeline remains undelivered.
Evidence
Patch #24 released with storage improvements, bug fixes, and tutorial additions. Developer explicitly states they will soon begin work on the next major update focused on translations and core gameplay improvements.
Tidehaven major update (Version 0.85) launched, introducing a new area, fish farms, new quests, a new romanceable character (T.E.C.), the Midsummer Feast festival, and numerous restaurant improvements. Described as the largest update to date.
