Sorry about that, unfortunately the inventory system isn't as robust as I would have liked it to be and sometimes that happens. Thanks for taking the time to make sure I knew though! Appreciate you

Thanks for playing! I'm for sure going to make the order times more lenient, as well as introduce some in-game difficulty sliders so the player can choose how frantic they want their kitchen to be.
One of the next features will be a menu builder, so you can decide what dishes you wish to serve (and thus only worry about those ingredients). On top of that ingredient/storage management is definitely something that will happen soon thereafter, with there being a "back room" for your general storage and limited space in the kitchen for ingredients you actually wish to use.
Thanks for the pointers and suggestions! Your feedback helps the game grow and be better :)
Thanks for giving it a go! I'll definitely add more time to the orders, plus there will be some more in-game difficulty sliders available soon. You can't separate food once they've been in the same dish, that's a health and safety precaution. I thought I had added pausing the game when the cookbook was open but I guess not, that should also be in soon.
Thanks for playing and for all the good feedback! A lot of your points are definitely being fixed or looked at for next demo day. I'm still working on making the mechanics "flow" better so there's definitely room for improvement, in particular letting players put any food into any dish that could (logically) hold it. I also need to communicate certain things to the player better which means the tutorial I slapped together needs work. Cooks timings will be tuned, as well as the bugs you mentioned fixed.
Aren't we going to drain the pasta?
That's something I hadn't thought of and no one else has brought up. Perhaps? I'd have to think of a non-intrusive way of implementing that, but overall I'm trying to remove any inconsequential annoyances (like having egg shells after cracking open the eggs, or dirty workstations have cutting noodles or smashing tomatoes).
Two-step cooking could be nice; have dishes requiring ingredients to be added halfway, so instead of having one cooking bar, you have two.That's also something I hadn't considered (yet). It'd be relatively simple to implement with how I set up the recipe/cooking system.
Building mode resets the player's position.
That's so that the player can't place an object where they were, exit build mode, and be stuck in or on top of furniture ;)
Thanks for giving it a go. The tutorial will definitely get a face-lift, I just needed to get something out in time. Right now ingredients are only allowed to go into dishes that will produce a secondary food, so eggs can go into bowls because that makes "mixed eggs" but eggs don't have any valid recipes involving a plate so that's not allowed. But I'm heavily considering changing it to be less hand-holdy and more realistic, where any ingredient can go in any dish so long as it makes sense (so eggs could go onto plates, but milk can't).
Thanks for playing! Adding somewhat intelligible food models (and other bits of polish) are the next step, now that I think the concept is pretty solid.
Whenever anything cooks I check if there's a valid recipe for the current ingredients (cooking water doesn't turn into anything rn, so there's not), and water isn't a "finished food" so it doesn't burn, so that's why it becomes dubious food. Obviously an oversight, I can give it an exception. In fact I may add a mechanic where recipes requiring water in pots cook faster if you first pre-boiled the water.
Were the omelet and bread on the same plate? I think that might cause the bug. Again that's something I didn't really think of before and can fix.
Thanks again for playing! And hopefully, if this project gets far enough along, you'll be able to design your own player character which means cute anime girls among other things.
Atmosphere is good and the controls felt solid. I think the damage from swinging the sword comes a little early, animation wise, but besides that I liked combat. Though I never did find a use for using particular swings on enemies, besides stabbing at floor-guys. I wish there were some sort of map, whether it's a diablo-style one or a tradition physical map, that way I knew where I had been and what was left to explore as I feel like I missed a lot. I look forward to more!
Music and visuals were great! Melee seemed to be not worth trying, I have no idea what the shift-dash did except make pretty visuals, and I wish I could zoom out the camera more (or at least have some indicator to where the boss is when they're off screen, even if it's not perfect information) but I had fun :)
Sorry if I didn't explain clearly, the font loaded and stayed fine, I would suggest you look for a new font that's less blocky as it's hard to read. I understand it's part of the style but there are plenty of 16bit fonts out there that I think would keep the same style while being easier on the eyes, but that is my own personal preference so take it with a grain of salt.
Cute platforming with good style. I think the controls could use some tuning, especially the wall jumps (don't immediately cling to the wall if I jump from the ground by a wall) and the "dash" symbols (maybe don't require me to press space to get into them, only activate/shoot away). The end lag for landing and attacks was also a bit much but that's just my preference. I want to see more!
Fun game once I realized what I needed to do. AI could be a bit harder, they don't seem to know how to approach the player if they're a certain distance away which let me take leading-shots on them while staying safe, and they also don't seem to change course to avoid missiles. I would love if there we key bindings for move/fire, and the different missile types. But I can see where you're going with it and look forward to more!
Very aesthetically pleasing and the movement was super fluid. I especially loved yeeting a spear and then teleporting to it, while preserving momentum. I would tone down the spear FX and ribbon flapping while you're holding the spear as it's a little distracting. I died before completing the demo so something like this may already be in the game, but I could see a skill-based deflect working very well with the existing mechanics and enemies.
The artwork is great and I can definitely see this becoming a good NSFW game. I got this weird visual bug (windows) whenever she was sitting upright that would cut off her hair weirdly. I would also spring for a different font, it was hard to easily read and that's kind of important for a visual novel.
This month's update: save/load system for y'all. Bug fixes.
Updates since last demo day: Naming your shop + shop reputation mechanic. The town got a new feature: a notice board. The Forest level is back and better than ever. New highlight system to better see interactable objects. New grass. Redid the interact system. Saving and loading are in. Misc bug fixes and changes.
Thanks for the email! Could you send me the file(s) located at "C:/Users/YOURUSER/AppData/Local/Temp/Comfy Fox, LLC/YOURcursedSHOP/Crashes"? Seems like Unity split up the crash report.
I also uploaded an experimental build for Windows 7 that may fix the crash issue, if you wouldn't mind giving that a try I'd be super appreciative.
