In this week’s episode, Alex and I tackle our second revision to the experts-only Dragon Sweat difficulty for Space Food Truck. In our original pass, the Leftover cards were all Vexyls and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. You can watch the previous episodes here on our YouTube, or come say hi on Twitch next time we stream, Fridays at 2:30pm ET.
We’ve got a big SFT update coming later this week with some changes to difficulty, and we need you guys to help us test drive this weekend! All you need to try it out is a copy of Space Food Truck. In your Steam games library, right click Space Food Truck, open the Properties, then go to the Betas tab. Choosing “Thar be Dragons” in the drop down will get you the Dragon Sweat beta. You know you’ve got the right version if your difficulty select is using the slick new hot sauce art.
For players wishing for a greater challenge: we give you Dragon Sweat! This mode is for experts only, so try your best to overcome it and let us know how you did on our discussion board. You’ll be helping us determine if it’s even POSSIBLE to win.
For players wishing we’d cut them some slack, try the new Mild mode. Crises now deal half damage, so the galaxy is a little more forgiving while you’re learning the ropes.
There are lots of ideas floating around the office for expansion packs and new gametypes, so keep an eye on this news feed for the latest.
This week on OML Twitches: Alex and Adam get robbed blind by space pirates on turn 1, and are smited by Chelsea the Vexyl. You can watch the previous episodes here on our YouTube, or come say hi on Twitch next time we stream, Fridays at 2:30pm ET.
After a successfully hectic Twitch Stream this afternoon, Alex and I had a quick meeting about what’s next for Space Food Truck. Based on your feedback, high on our list are some tweaks to Mild mode (making it even friendlier for the newbies) and the addition of a new and unique difficulty called Dragon Sweat. This mode won’t just pile on more damage, we’re actually planning to add a special event card on turn 1 that will change the way you approach certain decisions in the game.
Also hot sauce bottles are finally happening! I’ve been rooting for that for a long time.
We were informed today by President Obama that April Fools will not be observed this year.

Space Food Truck’s been gaining momentum every day since launch, so huge thanks to everyone for your support! We’re really blown away by this reception, so we’re diving right into some fresh polish you’ll be seeing in an update very soon. Just a few items on our “would be nice” list that we couldn’t fit in before our launch deadline.
We’re even more excited that the game’s success could give us a chance to explore some of the different gametype scenarios we’ve been tossing around. Saboteur Mode, Pirate vs. Food Truck, there was even talk about strapping a bomb to the ship… Stay tuned to see where this food truck goes next, and feel free to post your own update ideas in our discussion group!
Today at 4pm ET Space Food Truck will officially leave Early Access to become our first Steam release! Feels like a good time to thank all of our early adopters again for their patience and their feedback, which was tremendously helpful in getting the game this polished and balanced. It really wouldn’t be the same game without you guys.
I should also mention we’re launching at 10% off for the first week only! That means you can still get our discounted Early Access price for a little while longer. There may be a slight lag between SFT leaving Early Access and our discount being applied, so try back a little later if you aren’t seeing the 10% off.
25 lucky mailing list subscribers have been sent their free SFT Steam keys, but we still have more keys to give away during our Twitch stream today at 2:30pm ET. Stop by to check out the game in action, ask us anything, and maybe get a free key.
Tomorrow is the big day: Space Food Truck officially leaves Early Access and becomes a full Steam game! It’s also a huge giveaway day, and there’s a couple of ways you might get your hands on a free copy of SFT.

The second is to tune in to our Friday Twitch stream at 2:30pm ET, where we’ll be playing some Space Food Truck and bleeding free Steam keys whenever our ship takes HP damage. This week we’re also giving out keys whenever we deliver a recipe, so there’s even more free stuff to go around.
