Howdy everyone!

We know it’s been a minute since we said we’d bring you some news, but today we’re finally ready to let the cat out of the bag:

You can already check out the Steam page here. Wishlist it to stay updated on further release info!

A lot of you have been asking for multiplayer ever since this project first came out, so we’re really excited to share this with you. This new version is much bigger in scope and way more complex, so we’re now working together with our publisher Artex. Stay tuned for more news in the future.

There will be a few changes soon:

• The name of this app will change to “ACS”. So basically just the acronym. We do this because we want to avoid confusion between this old version and the new Multiplayer title when you look for it in the Steam search.

• This version will be retired. Don't worry, if the game is already in your library, you won't lose access to it. You will still be able to play the singleplayer version as much as you want. Retiring simply means new players won’t be able to add it anymore, and it won’t appear in Steam search.

• No more updates here. All development time goes into the Multiplayer version now (and has been for a few while, which is why we've been so quiet here). But your feedback from this release is directly influencing it, and we’re using everything we learned to make the new game better.

When we released ACS as a free student project back in February, we never expected it to gain this much attention. Your support, feedback, and chaotic burger-cooking antics made this whole journey possible.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask — we’ll answer as many as we can!

Some users reported that the second level with keep loading infinitely. With some help from Steam user Misfit Mouffette (Thanks!), I pinpointed the issue to a decimal number that couldn't be parsed. This is because some systems depend on comma's for there decimals rather than points. This issue is now fixed and affected users should now be able to enjoy the game! 🦨💖💖

We're currently in the middle of all the things but we've already started testing on the Steam Deck with a native linux build, webm videos and a larger scale UI. There won't be any touchscreen functionality but other than that it should work well. The larger scale UI will also be available on the standard PC build for anyone that prefers the bigger view of things and for playing more comfortably on TV.

Happy release day everyone!!!🏠

Here comes our first post release hotfix patch, fixing two critical bugs :)

1. Fixed a softlock in the episode 1967 when playing on Simplified Chinese around two thirds in the episode

2. Fixed a softlock in the episode 1989 on the last throw

Enjoy!!!!

After months of development, tuning, and player feedback, the game is now fully launched on Steam!

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. I tried to implement everything I could. I hope you enjoy the game and look forward to additional content and new systems in the future. For now, I rest...

Hello, this is Rootkit_, developer of DEFRAG.

After two large-scale updates, this patch is a light minor update focusing on improvements that could be applied immediately.

Below are the improvement items and balance adjustments included in this update.

---

• A new STATS window has been added, allowing you to view your character’s main stats.

• You can access it by clicking the STATS button located at the bottom-left of the NODE screen.

• When the inventory was full, the bottom module descriptions were sometimes cut off.

• To address this, the bottom spacing of the module inventory has been increased.

• Many players reported that explosion-type attacks were weaker compared to other weapons.

• To improve this, explosion attacks now receive 2.5× more benefit from Attack Speed than before.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping DEFRAG improve in the right direction.
Thank you always!

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us! We are here with the first update of Early Access. Based on your comments, we've made some critical changes to make the game smoother and more intuitive.

Here are the v0.1 Update Notes:

• Faster Prep: Ingredients to be cooked now spawn directly on the cutting board.

• Realistic Cutting Feel: The cutting system has been revamped! When you hover over an ingredient, the IK (Inverse Kinematics) system now automatically engages, offering a much more natural cutting experience.

• Level Design: The "Flying Carpet" has been removed from the first 4 chapters. Ingredients will no longer be picked up from the carpet, simplifying the early game flow.

• Checkpoints: Added checkpoints to the movement tutorial so you don't have to start over if you make a mistake.

• Video Explanations: Updated the movement system instructions with direct video tutorials for better learning.

• Music: Added specific looping background music to the tutorial section.

• Audio Settings: Fixed a bug where sound volume and effect settings were not saving correctly.

• Cinematics & Flow: Reworked the cinematic scene in Chapter 11.

• Atmosphere: The time transition at the end of Chapter 3 now feels more realistic.

• General: Fixed various reported bugs and glitches.

We will continue improving Kebabstar together. Please keep sharing your thoughts and any bugs you encounter with us. This is too early but you can't believe what do you see in next long-term development cycles.

The DEMO has been updated to match the latest changes for EA release day.

Thanks to everyone involved for getting us to this point! :)

Hello terraformers!

After the free Moons Update, that added 2 planets to the game, we wanted to continue improving Planet Crafter and give you more content, so we decided to work on a new DLC.

This DLC offers a brand-new planet, that has once been colonized, but now rendered toxic.

Use new technologies to remove the toxic pollution, explore multiple incredible biomes, discover new lore and secrets, and purify the atmosphere of the planet to create a lush paradise once again!

Get it Now :

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4078590/

To celebrate this, the base game will be at -50% discount in a few hours for at least a week! It's the best time to invite your friends to play with you!

• What is the size of the map ?

  A bit bigger than planet Humble and a bit smaller than Prime, it should provide multiple hours of content

• How to access the DLC once bought ?

• Either start a new game and select "Toxicity", or join it with a current save file after you have finished terraforming your first planet using the Interplanetary Travel Rocket.

• Can I buy one copy and invite my friends in my game

• Yes, only the host of a multiplayer game needs to own the DLC

• Is there new achievements?

• No, we don't want to link achievements to DLCs, so people that do not own the DLCs can still have all the achievements for the game

• I have technical issues with the DLC

• Be sure to update your mods or disable them completely. Restart Steam. Update your drivers.

We sincerely hope you will like this new adventure!
