Dev Log #1 - How to cook like a Master Chef

Hi everyone! Welcome to the first dev log for Oi, Innkeep! I'm Hayden Zammit, one of the two developers that make up Bad Bandit Games along with Rich Sanders. These dev logs are going to be a regular thing leading up to release and beyond, where we highlight different features of Oi, Innkeep! and provide status updates for you guys. For this first one, I'm just going to give an overview of how cooking works as it's one of the main things you do in Oi, Innkeep!

How to cook like a Master Chef

Above you can see we have a pot and an oven. You can place these + other cooking-related workstations around wherever you like, each one allowing you to cook different meals depending on the ingredients you throw into them. Here's some examples: One mushroom into the oven will give you one baked mushroom. One mushroom into the pot will give you one bowl of mushroom soup. You put your ingredients in. Then set the work station to begin cooking.

You'll see a little meter pop up while the cooking is taking place. This shows you how much something has cooked. You have to come back and stop the cooking at the optimal time.

Keep in mind I've set it so it cooks faster here than it normally would just for the purpose of this dev log. Also, different meals will take different amounts of time to cook as well. Another thing: you can mix and match ingredients, too. So, for example, one corn + one mushroom into the pot will give you one bowl of mushroom and corn soup. So, yeah, you set something to start cooking and then you might go off and do some other things around the inn like wipe cobwebs, mix drinks, talk to customers, etc. and then come back when it's ready. After that, you just go and deliver the food to the waiting customer or simply throw it up in the air like you just don't care. Whatever takes your fancy.

Well, that's a look at the basics of cooking. It's going to get more and more advanced as we flesh it out, but we hope you guys like what you see.
