- Dev Diary #2 – The Demo Is Out! - 13 May 2025
Hey everyone, We did it—our Sizzle & Stack demo is now live on Steam! Reaching this milestone feels a bit like finally plating the first dish after months in the kitchen. It’s hot, it’s a little chaotic, but it’s real—and it’s yours to try. You can now download the demo, and dive headfirst into a cozy storm of cooking cards, customer orders, and magical mayhem. Go to Demo Page But let’s be honest: this demo isn’t just for show. We designed it as a test kitchen. A place where ideas can simmer, burn, or turn into something unexpectedly delicious. It doesn’t show everything we have planned, but it gives you a solid taste of our core gameplay loop: stack, cook, serve, and upgrade. And how you interact with it will shape what we cook up next. We’re carefully watching how players handle the table size, how intuitive the cooking stations feel, which recipes are fun to discover, and where frust…
- Dev Diary #1 — The First Orders Are In - 9 May 2025
Hey everyone, I’m Alper Nargileci, game designer and product lead of Sizzle & Stack, and I’m incredibly excited to write the first chapter of our developer diary. Sizzle & Stack is a fast-paced, card-based cooking simulator where deck-building meets restaurant chaos. Inspired by Stacklands, this unique twist on the culinary genre puts you in charge of a growing kitchen where every dish, upgrade, and decision is made with cards. The amazing game, Stacklands, heavily inspires it. Right now, our demo is in Steam review, and it’ll be live in just a few days. It’s surreal to say that. What started as a small prototype—about cooking, cards, and creative chaos—has grown into something we truly believe in. We came together as a team with one goal: to make something cozy, joyful, and lasting. Sizzle & Stack is set in a charming urban fantasy world, where magic simmers just beneath the surface of…
