Hey, we're getting work done on our game, and we've mostly settled on a design and layout now. I'm the programmer, so please forgive my sloppy mockup art, but I'll keep this thread updated as we go!

This is the main puzzle layout. You have to make recipes so Wren can deliver to your customers, with ingredients you get in the morning from your other (secret) friend. I'm still figuring out how the puzzles will work, but the idea is that you have to select a combination of ingredients to make the different orders. If you get a lot of the right ingredients it will increase your followers even more, which will make more complex orders that are harder to fulfill.

We're also going to have a small cast of characters that help you make this business a success! But more on that later...

The game idea sounds really interesting! I'm looking forward to it 😃

Thanks BelindaTesiGames! Here's an art update with the full cast: :)

Last update of the night. Got some basic scene transitions and animations set up, and also we have final art for the brewing ingredients now!

The background used here is previous work by our fantastic artist, and per the rules of the jam we can use past work, right? I'll make sure to mention what was created prior to the jam on the upload page.

Conversations and the state machine are in, and I'm getting into the puzzle mechanics now. This might be a mad dash at the end, so I want to make sure the gameplay is solid before I do any more polish to the visuals. Planning a tutorial level to explain everything, too, so this will be a lot of moving parts at once.

We also have a game name now: Brew Crew! Here's the title screen art:

And two music tracks, but that's hard to demo here right now. I'll put them in the background of a video update at some point.

The game is released!

Apologies for not keeping up with the devlog, but this was a crazy 24 hours. Hopefully everyone enjoys the game!
