Dev Log #11 - New Cooking Process and Stuff!

Hi guys and welcome to another dev log for Oi, Innkeep! For this dev log, we're going to go over a few little things that we've changed + talk abut some systems and stuff we've got planned.

First off, how we've changed the cooking process: it used to be that you just had to take an ingredient to a cooking station (pot or oven), but we wanted to expand that out a bit more. So, we changed it so if you want to make a carrot soup for example, you first have to go to a work bench, place a carrot down and then grab a cleaver and hit the carrot a set number of times. Once you've chopped it enough, the carrot or whatever ingredient you have there, will turn into a chopped version of that ingredient. You then take that ingredient and add it to the pot or oven. Here's a quick look of the new system in action:

This is going to add a fair bit of depth to the cooking system, which we felt it was sorely lacking. Also, there will probably be other kitchen items you'll have to use. Some possibilities include: rolling pins, beaters, etc Next up, plants: We've shown plants before I think, how you have to water them or they'll die over time. One thing we're wanting to do here that is new is that we want to make it so you actually buy a vase separate from a plant. You then get a seed and place it in the vase and it'll grow. It'll take some work on our part to ensure that all plants fit all vase sizes, but we'll hopefully figure it out. Here's a new vase/plant combo we have made recently, which is part of the ocean-themed kit we're making:

We're making plenty of themed items that you can decorate your inn with. These items come from different, related characters. For example, Hunting Harry will provide animal mounts and rugs; Katrina, a local witch and cat-lady will provide witch and cat themed items, Joshua the Executioner will provide dungeon/torture themed stuff, etc. As well as selling you fish, Cliffy the fisherman will sell you some ocean themed stuff such as these chandeliers, decorative anchors and ocean themed pots:

I think that'll do it for now. Expect plenty more updates now as we get closer and closer to our Early Access release!
