Restaurants are special places, so many key moments in life happen around food, and here your restaurant attracts all sorts of people so your goal is to give them the best time while they're inside! Serving them their favourite foods and setting the perfect tone (using the restaurant's full lighting system!) will help you craft each customer the perfect experience! It's a busy restaurant and everyone's preferences are different though so you'll have to just do your best to make as many customers as happy as possible (and tip as much as possible!)! Good luck chef!!
Taking inspiration from many games such as Overcooked (for the theme), Among Us (for the minigames), Cat Cafe Manager (for the perspective and vibes), and Hue (for the color wheel idea), I've tried my best to integrate both the prompt as well as my own ideas into this game! In this game color really does change things as with all the different customers in the restaurant you'll have to experiment and find out each of their preferences and how to balance it, too bright and you'll scare the vampire away, but not pink enough and the bachelorette will be upset!
It was really a fun experience for me though, I have worked on game jams in the past but never one for this amount of time and this has enabled me to actually complete most of the core aspects I intended! I do wish I could've added some more content and QoL things, but nevertheless, was a really exciting adventure! Additionally, pixel art as well as using things such as asynchonous programming were new to me so have hopefully developed my skills too! And Holly's help crafting all of these characters really helped bring the game to life and add so much charm to it, together I'm really proud of what we made!
