Our latest game has been released :)

Chef Solitaire: USA

It has been released on iWin and in a month or so it should be out on a few more portals (such as GameHouse and Big Fish Games).







Its the usual Golf style solitaire made famous by Fairway, but with a cooking/restaurant theme. It has 4 mini games, full voice over and a funny story :)

Cheers,
Steve

the Jack seems inspired by Gordon Ramsey? :-?


Steve Elliott(Posted 2015) [#5]
Lovely graphics, and yes, what xlsior said ;)

Good luck with it.

Yep :)

Our brief to the artist was "TV Chef Character (Kurt Snark) - 30ish years old male - Gordon Ramsay type character"


Thanks Steve :)

Congrats for the release !
I did not yet played it a lot, I like the voice over, good acting.
The game seems less 'sophisticated' than LOS 2 or is it because I'm only at the beginning ?


Hotshot2005(Posted 2015) [#12]
Hmmm nice one but do you ever get bored of making card games!?


Naughty Alien(Posted 2015) [#13]

And released on Big Fish Games today:

The game seems less 'sophisticated' than LOS 2

Maybe, its a totally different theme and direction.

do you ever get bored of making card games!?

Yep! But they make money :) I do make other little games, most dont see the light of day...

Do you do the graphics yourself? They are great.

I am waiting for payday to buy it. I am sure my wife will love it.

I wish! It would save a bob or two ;)

The graphics from this game was done by Retro Style Games.

For our first couple of games we did our own graphics.

It's always exciting to watch the BFG charts!


Pingus(Posted 2015) [#19]
Yeah, I know what it is... like watching lottery and expecting to get the winning ticket... or not ;-)

Hey Steve, how has Chef been doing?


therevills(Posted 2015) [#21]
Its doing pretty well now its on BFG which is the biggest publisher. We have to wait a couple of months or so to really see how its doing.
