This is the third post about the minigames being too difficult. Is the cooking minigame just too hard to keep up or too long or both? Three is a trend, so perhaps I should patch it.

Have you actually tried playing the mini games yourself or did you just assume it worked?

Of course, I playtested the heck out of them before the Patron testing. They were playtested by Patrons and I had no complaints about difficulty. I added voice callouts in the game based on the feedback I received before release to help people who can't read well.

I think i might know a few reasons as to why people are finding the minigames so difficult:

1. RenPy isn't the best when it comes to counting down seconds. I've noticed a slight delay between ingredients (but the timer keeps ticking).

2. The voice actress isn't saying the ingredients instantly. There is a slight delay for certain ingredients before she says the first letter (crucial moments).

3. Milk, flour, and sugar all look deviously similar when making split second decisions. And in the latter half of the game, a single mistake is a instant game over.

This is productive feedback, thanks.

My reaction times just aren't as fast as they'd need to be to clear it.
