I'm going to post the questions and (parts of) answers I think are the most relevant or important, but feel free to look through the blog post for the rest of them!


Will there be a mobile version of Cookie Clicker at some point?

Mmmmaybe. There’s already a ton of rip-offs available and at this point, I feel like we’ve lost the war on the mobile territory.

Hey, heard a rumor about you thinking about adding a “finishline” for cookie clicker, a way to win the game. Hoping from the bottom of my heart that this isn’t true!? Looking forward to future updates :)

Finish line ? Hell naw ! The point of Cookie Clicker is how endless it is.

Will the revamped prestige system still have Heavenly Chips, or will those be wiped?

The heavenly chip mechanics might change, but you won’t lose them - I promise !

Will there ever be any multiplayer aspect to Cookie Clicker? Probably nowhere in the near future, but like, little girl scouts and boy scouts and cookie abominations you can upgrade using cookies that are unlocked with achievements/buildings? And battle other players? Or any OTHER sort of co-op/ vs. Playing?

Unfortunately, multiplayer stuff is probably something I’ll never add ! ... Girlscouts and cookie abominations is pretty much what dungeons will be about though !

When the christmas update in cookie clicker is over will the cps we got from it stop working?

That’d just be mean ! You’ll keep your seasonal upgrades until you reset, and then they’ll be unlockable through different means.

Can we please have the new buildings before any of the other additions at all? Buildings are good.

Well here’s the thing; some of the new buildings will come in between the existing buildings, and therefore mess with the costs and CpSs quite a bit. I don’t doubt that this will make a lot of players angry - which is why I’d rather have a bunch of new features in the update as well to make up for it.

Here is my question : will there be more end game content in the next release ? By end game content, I mean something you won’t finish in a couple of hours even with say 10k HC ; not only something later than actual things but easily done with the said 10k HC.

Yup, that’ll be a focus of the prestige update !

You mentioned something in a previous post about several new buildings coming out soon. Could you expand upon that? Are we talking mid-game buildings? End-game? Both? Also, is there any sort of ETA on those? I don’t know if I can wait another month for an update. :(

I’ll be releasing new mid-game buildings (think stuff that comes before/after factories and such) first, and future updates will gradually add more late-game buildings. About the ETA : Soon™, When It’s Ready™, It Is A Mystery™.

Will you make an easter special? Will there be new endgame stuff? do you drink to much coffee?

  • sure why not
  • yep
  • I never drink coffee or energy drinks or whatevz

Can you just release really hard to get upgrades/achievements, once a week? This would keep a majority of the community happy over the long periods of creative drought. I know it’s difficult to stay on track with one game, but I need mindless indulgence in virtual cookies. Also quit being french.

Hmm, I guess I could do that but it’d feel cheap ! “Oh hey, great, two new super-expensive cookie upgrades. Way to go, Orteil.” I’d rather take my time to release more meaningful updates. About being french, I know it’s a problem and I’m working on it. Truly sorry about that.

i would like a new kitty upgrade to continue the pattern unless milk from Christmas achievements doesn’t count

New kitty coming right up ! Next big update will probably include at least one new upgrade tier anyway.

What holidays do you plan on implementing into CC?

Hopefully all the major ones (I think Halloween and Christmas are most of them). Stuff like Thanksgiving is very culturally limited though (we don’t have it in France for example), so I doubt it’d make it into the game !
