Happy's Humble Burger Farm news & patch notes

Hey everyone! Update 1.18.1 is now live. This patch focuses on stability, save reliability, display fixes, Steam Deck improvements, and a handful of issues reported by players. Thanks to everyone who sent in logs and bug reports. They helped us track down some stubborn issues. Obligatory mention: If you enjoyed the game, please consider leaving us a review. It helps greatly with visibility!

Saves, Inventory & Collectibles

• Fixed the held-item counter on the HUD showing the wrong number of items, including cases where it showed zero dots while you were still holding something.
• Fixed items occasionally being dropped from your inventory when moving between areas.
• Inventory now stays in sync every time you change scenes.
• Hardened the save system so one error can no longer prevent inventory, action figures, or progress from saving to disk.
• Fixed a crash when entering the apartment that could prevent collectibles, such as the jukebox and flatscreen TV, from appearing.
• Fixed cases where players could load into the wrong spot after certain transitions, such as the apartment kitchen.

Display & Resolution

• The resolution selector now properly changes your resolution.
• Fixed an issue where changing resolution in the default fullscreen mode had no visible effect for many players.
• The resolution list is now built from your actual monitor, so you should only see modes your display supports.
• Added support for missing common resolutions, including ultrawide resolutions like 3440x1440.
• Fixed the game saving your monitor's resolution instead of the resolution the game was actually running at.
• Fixed one resolution list entry applying the wrong resolution.

Steam Deck

• Removed the forced 1280x800 resolution lock.
• Your selected resolution is now respected, including higher resolutions when docked to a TV or monitor.
• Added proper default control layouts for Steam Deck.

Controls

• Reworked key rebinding.
• Custom keybinds now save and persist between sessions.
• Custom keybinds are now applied consistently across the game.

Performance & Stability

• Fixed several internal errors that were firing every frame.
• Reduced heavy log spam that could hurt frame rate.
• Players affected by these errors should see improved smoothness.
• Added additional crash and error hardening across scene loading.

Apartment & Miscellaneous

• Fixed the apartment TV not switching correctly between CRT and flatscreen modes.

Please keep sending reports if you run into anything weird. The details help a ton.

GENERAL GAME FACTS

🎮 Happy’s Humble Burger Barn, the prototype version of Happy's Humble Burger Farm, actually started as a first-person car combat game blending Goldeneye with Twisted Metal. How did that wind up as a cooking game? Kaleb, the lead programmer, took the car mechanics and applied them to a drive-thru designed by Blake. When asked to come up with a horror twist that wasn’t just the tired “evil mascot” trope, Jon suggested the whole thing is a government simulation. 🎮 Every item needed for each recipe can be found for free throughout the world. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/910bafc067162f34d998260b95c03d7187510b46.png 🎮 An abandoned intro scene still exists in the game files, depicting the main character getting into a car accident before waking up on the operating table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XKnGlOhlhc 🎮 At one point, players would have had to spend some of the money they earned at work on rent money. One of the unused rooms in the apartment building would have featured the landlord “Armpit,” Toe’s older brother. This was abandoned. 🎮 An early concept for a potential DLC was a game starring Toe before his significant mental decline, working in a “Happy’s Humble Bowling Barn” simulation. 🎮 There was almost an Easter egg in which players could use the “chip burner” helmet on Toe, but it would have fried his brain, ultimately killing him. 🎮 Originally, the furnace room was supposed to be the final escape route. Players would need to find Golden, Silver, and Bronze burgers to melt in the smelter to open the door, leading to the final sewer escape sequence. 🎮 An early narrative concept was the main character being E7’s father, searching for his son on the island. This was later abandoned in favor of an investigative journalist looking for one of his co-workers. 🎮 The final escape sequence through the sewer was designed with the intention of featuring all 4 Barnyard Buds. Asset Samuel would be swimming in the sewer waters, Asset Chuck would be giving chase, and players would have to once again overfeed a bandaged Asset Peter. Additionally, they would need to be crafting Burger Bombs and Keycard Hackers on the fly while dodging these antagonists. The only remnants of this concept are Asset Joy popping up throughout the segment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/dfc1fdb90991b7bbde58f210160014177ef3d240.png 🎮 An earlier concept of the game was players intentionally sabotaging the Paragon facility from within to take them down. This still exists in spirit, as the boss fight with Asset Chuck ultimately leads to the simulation glitching out and shutting down.

FACTS FOR THE LORE HOUNDS

📖 The story of Happy’s Humble Burger Farm could be jokingly summarized as “McDonald’s meets MK Ultra!” 📖 The game takes place within the Scythe Saga Universe, a multimedia experience spanning concept albums, synthwave compilations, and numerous games. 📖 The Scythe Saga Universe started as an unreleased 20-song rock opera called “Apocalyptic Dawn.” It was set in the distant future of the current timeline depicted in the games. 📖 JJ and the Jazzy Javas, the band playing in the coffee shop, is randomized loops played intentionally off-time and off-key to simulate an AI band struggling to hold a tune. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/cb09f054e0520b91d5bff255993f10032caa8991.gif 📖 Several long-form lore breakdowns have emerged on YouTube. Many of the conclusions these YouTubers draw are incredibly accurate! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHQxhaOWv6I 📖 Despite killing numerous Paragon employees and scientists, Asset Joy used E7 and E42 as her pawns instead, monitoring them and utilizing their own attempts at escape to facilitate her own escape.

MUSIC/SOUND FACTS

🎵 The “Happy the Humble Heifer” song features the singing of Jason Paige. Jason, a renowned vocalist, was chosen for his iconic singing on the Pokémon theme. When describing the project, composer Jon told him the team were looking for “Pokémon meets Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell.” Jason had also done backing vocals on Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose, and was the perfect fit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/95f43f362b0e26a112e61af661796a1f3191e6b1.png 🎙️ The Barnyard Buds were all played by notable voice acting alumni. Happy the Humble Heifer was played by Lani Minella, a voice actress known for characters such as Bubsy, all the way to the screams of the zombies in The Last of Us. Marc Biagi, who played Petey the Portly Pig, is known as Vector the Crocodile in Sonic. Eric Newsome, cast as Charlie the Chillin’ Chicken, voiced numerous characters in Super Smash Bros Brawl. Jon St John, Duke Nukem, and the Postal Guy himself, portrayed Sammy the Surly Salmon. And Tim Simmons, who voiced the Farmer, has voiced Nightmare Freddy from FNAF. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/16214b71af8fd1e286009c40321d59015df2d90c.png 🎙️ The voice of Dr. Rachelle Luna was performed by Sean Young, perhaps best known for playing Rachael in Blade Runner. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/9f0f8c8abb11a62816f6d90d3be609bd2c83f2dc.png 🎙️ Many of the voice actors on the radio are YouTubers who have played many of Scythe Studio’s previous games.

This is a long-overdue care pass touching performance, install size, Steam Deck support, and a stack of minor bugs. The two headliners: a major Steam Deck compatibility restoration, and a project-wide disk footprint + load-time reduction.

Steam Deck: major compatibility restoration

HHBF was one of the first games verified for Steam Deck at launch. Since then, it had quietly drifted out of compat. This patch puts it back in shape, top to bottom.

• Game now pauses cleanly when the Deck sleeps. Press the power button mid-shift and your save is flushed, audio mutes, and the simulation freezes. Wake up to the pause menu with everything intact, no more customers magically progressing while you were away.
• Full gamepad support in the rebinding menu. Before this patch, the Controls screen could detect controller input but only let you bind keyboard keys. Gamepad bindings are now first-class: every action can be bound to either, and they work simultaneously.
• Live keyboard/gamepad prompt swapping. Interaction prompts now read the active input device and update on the fly: `Press to use` becomes `Press to use` the moment you put the keyboard down and pick up a controller. Switches back the same way.
• Native 1280×800 16:10 handling. Deck's display aspect is now treated as a first-class resolution. UI elements that anchor to screen edges get a small safe-area inset so nothing hugs the bezel awkwardly. Ultrawide users benefit from the same fix.
• Auto-tuned settings on first Deck launch. When the game detects it's running on a Deck for the first time, it applies a balanced preset: 1280×800, Medium quality, MSAA off, hard 60 fps cap on both Deck LCD and Deck OLED (so OLED Decks aren't burning battery rendering 90 fps you can't feel mid-shift). Subsequent launches respect any manual settings you change.
• New "Restore Deck Defaults" button. Tucked into Settings → Controls. Resets visuals + keybindings to the recommended Deck preset if you've tweaked things and want a clean slate.
• Steam Cloud save sync. Your save now mirrors to Steam Cloud after every write and downloads the newer copy on launch. Start a shift on your desktop, finish it on the Deck, and your progress comes with you. Last-write-wins, automatic, no per-slot ceremony.

Performance & install size

• Dramatic install size reduction. Project-wide texture compression pass across every major location: Apartment, City, Burger Farm, Warehouse, Charlie, Parking Garage, Sewers, Radio Station, Flashback Surgery, Toes Room, and others. Disk footprint and VRAM usage both drop substantially.
• Audio asset re-encoding. Sound effects and music re-compressed at sensible bitrates. Smaller download, no audible quality loss.
• All scenes fully lightbaked. Static lighting was finally baked across the entire game: every restaurant interior, exterior, OOB scene, Dream Scene, Ending Laboratory, Boss arenas, Museum Interior, Key Room, Drive Through, Bungalow, Break Room, 50s Diner, and more. This is a huge perf win for low-end hardware: lighting that used to be computed every frame is now precomputed once, freeing the GPU for the things that actually need it. Visual quality also goes up across the board, with proper bounced lighting and shadows where there used to be flat shading.
• Apartment occlusion culling rebake. Reduces drawcalls in one of the most-visited scenes in the game.
• Significantly improved game save performance. Saving is now dramatically faster with far less hitching during autosaves and manual saves.
• Reduced in-game stuttering. Optimized memory usage across restaurant operations, customer interactions, food assembly, and AI encounters to minimize frame drops and micro-stutters.
• Smoother AI encounters. Improved efficiency of distance checks and physics queries during enemy encounters, reducing CPU overhead.
• Optimized cooking and order systems. Streamlined collision detection and item handling across the assembly board, drink station, fryer, and bagging systems.
• Improved water rendering performance. Optimized AQUAS water caustic and lens effect updates.
• Reduced memory churn. Cached frequently-used timers and references across 100+ scripts to reduce garbage collection pauses.
• Removed unnecessary background processing. Cleaned up 73 unused engine callbacks that were consuming resources silently.

Bug fixes

• Fixed action figures not saving in the apartment. The Sammy, Petey, Charlie, Farmer, and Happy action figures now correctly save their position when placed in your apartment, and they reappear where you left them after a restart. This was the most-reported save bug in the game. The root cause was an internal name mismatch in the five prefabs, which caused the apartment save system to silently fail when trying to reload them. Note: action figures missing from existing saves will not be auto-recovered (you will need to re-collect those); anything placed after this patch saves correctly.
• Fixed camera collectible not spawning correctly. The SureShot Camera collectible now properly appears in the restaurant when unlocked.
• Fixed Landing Gear collectible not saving. The Landing Gear music collectible now correctly saves and loads its collected state.
• Fixed season calculation. August is no longer incorrectly classified as Fall; seasons now transition correctly throughout the year.
• Fixed AI encounter data not persisting. Total AI encounter count now properly saves and loads between sessions.
• Fixed coroutine stacking in restaurant simulation. Prevented a rare issue where customer spawning and shift timing could double up, causing erratic behavior.
• Fixed incorrect DontDestroyOnLoad usage in the achievement system.

Presentation

• Refreshed Main Menu icons. Cleaned-up iconography on the title screen, small but visible polish for the first thing players see.

Check the launch trailer to get back on the burger flipping front! Toe had something fun to say:

If you are operating on your beloved red and blue console while traveling in a public space, we advise you to hold on to it tightly. Previous incidents have been reported and there could be some knee-jerk reactions along with screaming on certain occasions. Try it out at your own risk. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/c5e1d2bd2e5eb118e5438bc7fdfbda3bc6ab123a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/10ea7c30635a76362aa51ba2ddff3d4a3b7ca724.png (Scroll down to see what happens here👀)

Let’s go through a few things so you can enhance your nightly performance at this new storefront:

Read through the employee’s manual carefully before your first shift to inform yourself of all the core ingredients. Fair warning: customers’ satisfaction is always top priority and serious consequences apply if you fail to achieve that;

Keep your manager amazed and happy, she is a demanding boss to please and eerie events may occur when she is not in a favorable mood;

Free-roam the map of New Elysian City when you are off shift. Collect and buy things such as action figures and cassette tapes or appreciate the fine art in the museum. We hope you grow not only as a savvy chef, but also as a fun local.

Jam out to 9 brand new albums as well as 5 returning classics in the jukebox that’s located in the restaurant lobby. We always like to maintain a dynamic vibe while working.

Most importantly, if you have started to witness some bizarre events in the restaurant. Stay on your shifts and keep serving. We do not guarantee your safety if you decide to get too curious. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/b761e1bbb795859244e45606a469458badb87e56.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39014501/5be47f296bb5d9e3e0fa4e3a152f928a8010585c.png It was also the two-year anniversary of Happy’s Humble Burger Barn, our first title in the franchise, on April 1st this year and we promise that was not an April Fools’ joke!

Wish you a happy holiday and see you soon!

Hello to all of our amazing Happy Humble Employees! Today we bring you a small change, but with big impact! As of version 1.17.0 any items left in your apartment will be there when you get back! This means you can safely save your stuff, decorate your apartment, or steal all of Toe's coffee, and never worry about it disappearing! This means the game can be played very differently, or more at your own pace. REMEMBER, any items your player is holding or left in your backpack WILL NOT BE SAVED! So be sure to drop them off at your place before Clocking Out. We did our best to account for every item that could possibly be saved, but we may have missed 1 or 2 items. If this is the case or you experience any weird behavior, please stop by our discord and let us know in our Bugfixing channel! https://discord.com/invite/happyshumble We hope you all enjoy this QoL feature, and be on the lookout for lots more bugfixing/QoL features. We're listening to ALL your feedback and really appreciate everyone's support. https://i.imgur.com/SWkRLQC.png

Lots more fixes coming your way in this update. Please make sure you are up to date by looking at the version number in the bottom corner of your Main Menu screen. If not, restart steam and you should have the update! In this update you will find fixes for all of this stuff down below: - We thought "New Game" meant, well, "New Game"! Endless mode now stays unlocked even if you start a new game! - Fixed backpack issues in the Diner scene preventing players from putting finished burgers on the plate - Fixed UI issues that prevented backpack usage while all jacked up on coffee - Fixed the money in the Steal & Sell from breaking your inventory system! - Fix for the special disks in the special places not showing up for our special players who want to play again! - Optimization pass in a few places to hopefully make it run just a tad bit more smooooooth. Get it, 'sMOOOOOOth' - That's pretty much the main stuff, there is also a lot of little things Obscura did while you were sleeping. They were searching for contraband and might have shuffled some things around. If it wasn't where it was before, or doesn't look like it did before, blame THEM! It may not seem like a lot, and if you don't see your reported bug on this list, please don't fret! We are trying to prioritize to the best of our abilities so you can keep making Happy, Happy! We have notated everything and are trying to fix everything as fast as we can! If you haven't figured it out yet, just trust Obscura, they will ALWAYS lead you in the right direction. But their help line is disconnected... so until they start fixing their own problems, we are around to fix any issues you may be having! The best place to get a hold of us is our DISCORD. We want to fix bugs, so, give us what you got! We will be waiting, hanging out with the Barnyard Buds! -Scythe Dev Team https://discord.gg/BpvAZwU9

Update 1.16.4 straight from Happy herself Happy doesn't like when her restaurant isn't running well 1 day has gone by and we have been hard at work fixing bugs to make sure you can keep cooking burgers! Good news though, we have managed quite a few little changes to make your cooking experience even better! In this patch you will find fixes for the following: - Eliminated an unfriendly from the restaurant area that was trespassing - Soft lock when player picks up and throws the burger bomb right away - V.I.C. didn't rehearse his lines well enough so we had a talk with him about that (hint system fixed) - Modified intensity of unforseen events that can occur while cooking at the restaurant! - Soft lock when you tried to get coffee while holding a Paragon forbidden item (keypad hacker) - You can now store your burger bombs in your inventory. No more accidentally throwing them with the scroll wheel! - Soft lock for being such a good employee and trying to throw ALL the trash in the game away - Some people beat Charlie but weren't able to recive their reward! That reward is now availible in musueum if this happens to you! - There was a couple of audio tapes that managed to slip through the cracks, but we found them! So hopefully now you can too! - Assured that all the collectible notes are able to be observed throughly by either standing or crouching. - Got rid of that old antenna for that broken TV in your apartment so it wouldn't obstruct that beautiful flat screen TV - Couldn't hear V.I.C. too well, so we cranked him up to 11 - Fixed 'Traditional Chinese' translation - People who couldn't see the path before can now see the path to freedom - The patties in Toe's room were so spoiled that even The Fabricator didn't want them. So we made Toe throw them out - Prevented items in certain places from doing bad things! (fixed inventory bug) - A few other small, minor changes that only 1 person on our team understands but we are told that you will like it, so from the people who brought you Obscura biotech Trust Us That about does it as far as bugs go. We want to thank each and every one of you for your support and your understanding/patience while we work out the first day bugs! We have had a LOT of feedback, both positive and negative, and we want to make sure that we are doing our best to provide the best gaming experience that our small little team can muster. So we have taken some of that negative feedback, strewn it about various different people/fans/players and we decided to switch some things up. We hope you enjoy! As always, if you have any bugs/feedback/questions please don't hesitate to join our amazing, helpful community at our DISCORD server! Have a Happy Sunday from The Barnyard Buds! (And Scythe Dev Team, they helped a little bit) https://discord.gg/zgwVKd4E

2 patches in 1 day! Sorry for the inconvenience, we want to fix all the problems we can as soon as we can! In this version 1.16.3 patch we were able to figure out the slight bug that was causing steam achievements to not recognize. As well as fixing a bug that occurred when the player would activate a burger bomb and then switch levels. Thank you very much for your understanding and please let us know in our discord server if you find any other sneaky bugs!

Comin' to you straight from New Elysian City. Our first patch! There has been reports of the screen going black right after the first splash screen upon launching the game. This unfortunately was due to those who had played any of our demos or playtests. We do greatly apologize and we hope you forgive us! This patch is here to fix all that and make sure you can get to your job on time! Sorry for making you late to your first shift. 😦 If the patch doesn't come thru automatically, please restart steam completely, and that should do the trick! In the lower right hand corner of the main menu, it should have the version 1.16.2. If you do see any other bugs or would like to report anything please visit our DISCORD ! Thank you loyal employees!

YOU ARE HIRED!

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is officially OPEN to welcome all customers and we are more than thrilled to have you on board as the night line chef!

Report to your position, your manager HAPPY is already waiting:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433340/Happys_Humble_Burger_Farm/ As a new member at Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, a well-established fast food restaurant franchise, we welcome all passionate burger lovers and encourage you to discover your potentials in cooking and multitasking. Most importantly, we love employees who are not overly curious to poke around our workplace. You will not get fired if you still decide to pry into things, but we won’t take responsibility for the consequences.

Here is a quick walkthrough of what your nightly tasks look like:

While you get attracted by our friendly and harmonious corporate culture, let’s go over your Responsibilities.

Responsibilities:

1. Flip burger patties, prepare the combos and keep the customers satisfied.

2. Put out fires, get those rats and finish tasks that are requested to keep the restaurant organized.

3. Upgrade the restaurant system to boost efficiency when needed.

https://i.imgur.com/ejsd8Sd.gif

DOs:

1. Focus on serving the customers no matter what happens and make sure you don’t mess up the orders. Our manager is not known as a patient or generous boss.

2. Report to your position on a nightly basis and clock in on time. Watch the Obscura TV programs from your room, there will be epic cameos dropping as surprises!

https://i.imgur.com/OJ9D6L7.gif

Don’ts:

1. Hang around the New Elysian city and have too much fun in the Museum, Jazzy Java Joint club or Steal ‘n’ Sell pawn shop. They offer credits and opportunities to earn some extra cash and are indeed fun to visit, but we want you to focus on your job.

2. Get caught up by the audio logs, research pages or letters that you may find around the community. Drop them immediately and don’t overthink if you obtain some of those items.

https://i.imgur.com/sBlmx7y.gif

What we offer:

1. Dynamic late night working environment: vibe with the interactive jukebox that has 9 brand new albums as well as 5 returning classics such as Landing Gear and Senile Showdown OST!

2. Abundant entertaining programs: zone out to 60+ television programs to better understand the history of the franchise!

Dear Happy’s Humble employees,

The training period is almost over and we will officially assign you to customer-facing positions as Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is coming to Steam on December 3rd!

https://i.imgur.com/dDUng4i.gif 👇Here is the full notice for you to commit to memory:

Happy Humble’s Burger Farm, the horror adventure cooking sim developed by the Scythe Dev Team and published by tinyBuild, fills customers with fright on Steam on December 3rd!

⏰ Wishlist and set the alarm now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433340/Happys_Humble_Burger_Farm/

Watch the Release Date Announcement Trailer:

Before you start your shift, let’s revisit what this job looks like at Happy’s Humble Burger Farm.

1. Report to the restaurant and serve customers on a nightly basis (no matter what happened).

https://i.imgur.com/uEJOdh2.gif The alarm goes off. It’s a brand new day but… You have no memories, just an incessant thought reminding you to report to Happy’s Humble Burger Farm night shift. Grilling burgers, frying nuggies, and baking cookies sound like an easy enough task until creepy things start happening all around. The mascot Barnyard Buds statues moving by themselves, lights turning off out of the blue, and doors that can’t seem to keep shut are just the beginning.

2. Manage the operation of the entire restaurant.

https://i.imgur.com/SyplWr3.gif Block unsettling occurrences out of mind by fulfilling orders and managing the entire restaurant. Complete the daily duties from the board, get rid of live rats, unclog toilets, put out literal fires, and beware of the demon-like figures trying to mess with your shift. Above all else, stay away from Happy the Humble Heifer–commit enough infractions and the merry cow becomes an evil beast ready to tear you apart.

3. Unravel the dark mysteries hidden within the seemingly peaceful town.

https://i.imgur.com/bZwhpyB.gif Keep your distance from Happy exploring the streets and storefronts of grand ol’ New Elysian City to uncover the secrets of the Happy’s Humble Burger Farm franchise, Obscura Biotech, Paragon, and your very existence. Collect tapes and research pages scattered around town to piece together the mystery behind your memory loss. The city’s buildings hold more than just cardboard figures, and the gargantuan Petey the Portly Pig blowing up explosive Poppin’ Pork sandwiches is just the beginning of a never ending series of nightmares… And you’re stuck on repeat.

And MORE!

From ‘90s style graphics and over two hours of talk radio to more than 60 TV programs and a chilling soundtrack composed of 14 albums, Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is a psychological thriller that redefines immersive experiences. https://i.imgur.com/HlBVVsE.gif P.S. All of the soundtracks are playable from the restaurant’s interactive jukebox! If you are interested in the job, come have a quick chat with our managers on the official social pages:
