The Demo: Things to Expect

6/29/2017

Mar 11, 2015 -- Day 60

Items drawn (most)
Draft Critics Expressions done (partly)
Critic & Game system (70% for the demo)

NEXT WEEK. The alpha demo will be out within next week, I promise.

The webpage for the demo is not opened for public now, but just let you all know anyway:

play.snoutycreations.com

Okay, most of the item is now done. (for demo) At first I was going to draw all into plan drafts, but the item like the forks, the salt/pepper, plates are good enough for the final version... Well, others will definitely needed to be re-colored better.

The expression drawings of the food critics. I only drew few of the expressions for each critics. There will be more coming up after the demo version. Some may think there will be some animation of the critics, but no, I will not add animations into the critics. (maybe minimal)

Also, here's some color variations of the kitchen.
The overall design is confirmed, but i just couldn't get the best color theme that I can truly satisfy with. I currently picked the one on the upper-right. I think it's more "warm" and "home-like" which I wanted.

Things you'll expect in the demo:

Full featured cooking experience (with basic seasonings)
No other ingredients (just plain old egg)
A few randomized events
Most of the egg looks (on the pan)
Partial critiques (A.I)
Partial critic expression sprites
Plain coloring of a few items
Draft BGs
Fonts that are not sprite-based
Partial sound effects (mostly 'fry' based)
Bugs & errors
Not finished (it's an alpha version!)

Things that are not yet done in the demo:

Music tracks
More critiques & expression drawings
More sound effects
A more advanced menu (with options, records, etc.)
More art assets
More events (like making different kinds of fried egg etc.)
Optimization for smooth gameplay & system
Customization
Record system

I also opened an indieDB account.

Will try to put something into it when the game is "content ready".
It's time to get serious, people. Stay tuned!
