Project Overview

A single-player, 2D, top-down pixel art game for PC

You play as a reality tv show chef that has angered the audience somehow. Now you must complete each of your recipes while your stage is in chaos!

Goal

Survive the audience and complete all the recipes of each level.

Game Play

Walk around the map to collect ingredients in the pantry and fridge, and tools to assist your cooking. Once you have the items, you can go to designated parts of the kitchen, like the stove/oven, sink, and counter to craft or cook your meal. Once you have completed your dish, you can take it to the display table to complete the level.

Obstacles: Objects thrown by the audience, Oil Spills that slow the player down, Temporary vision impairment from a Tomato Splat, Fires that burn you when touched, and Obstacles that block your path.

Mechanics: Collect ingredients, pick up and place tools, cut/cook/craft

Challenges

1) Procedural Content Generation

Random occurring Fires, Tomato Splats, and Objects thrown by the audience

2) Inventory + Crafting System with harvesting/farming/mining from the environment

Collecting food items and tools, Chopping ingredients, and Crafting meals at the stove

3) Custom Animations (2D or 3D, made from scratch)

Character (up, down, left, right), Fire, and Oil

4) Custom particle effects (including particle sprite sheets made from scratch)

Smoke (attached to fires), Anger Marks (from the audience), Sparkles (not used in the scene)

5) Custom BG music composition

BG music is heard in the menu and levels (not the in-betweens)

6) Level progression from easy obstacles at the beginning to more challenges later (must have multiple playable levels), with XP tracking/character level-up skills

3 Levels

Maps get larger with more obstacles and harder recipes

Extra: Foley recorded sound effects (all recorded from scratch)

Crunch sound for when you get hurt and Tink sound for collecting items (don’t think it made it into the scene)
