Thanks :)
You’re probably right about about the smaller scope. I wanted to add depth to the game, but ended up just confusing all players with it.
Getting rid of the weird planting system and all dishes related to them would, as you say solve a lot and I might just make a version of the game like that, thanks to this comment.
In any case I will remember this for next gamejam. Thanks Ollie, for playing my game :)
