Very charming idea! My only suggestion is having clothes with different stat bonuses often end with their being "the best" clothes and kinda keeps you from being able to wear whatever you want and customize. Terraria does a good job in that it has separate equipment and vanity slots, but I'm not sure if that would apply to your game.
Thanks! Some games offer a transmog system to add the stats of one equipment to the look another. I might add it later in development if there's enough demand. I agree though, fashion is very important :)
You deserve more attention dude, loving the project so far!
Thanks man!
The animation going up and down stairs wherre the floor changes is awesome
That pumpkin house is so epic!! Dang~ making all those character customization sprites seems like a lot of work haha. Alos, love that UI! I subscribed to keep an eye on this :D I hope to make a cool top down stardew like game next!(my devlog platforming game is almost finished yay)
Glad you like it haha. Best of luck with your next project! I will definitely tune in!
Pumpkin house looks cool bro!
Thanks!
"a week to get creation screen working", inspiring. glad to know its not just me, where something that sounds simple enough takes long time to get done. he doesn't work on it fulltime all week, but is also dont full time work on my software. but there are times i work on it every day of the week after fulltime job and get nowhere for that week. just doing boilerplate, clean up, refactoring, documentation. not that i don't like doing any of what i just mentioned, its very relaxing actually.
Love the stat wheel at the start of the game, Fall out 4 style, and the stairwell coding is clever. You're game design is so thoughtful. I'm really excited for this game. Keep it up!!
Wow, this looks amazing! We are on our own devlog journey right now and are preparing to bring back an old project. This is inspiring to watch and I hope this project works out!
Love seeing the process... the UI and the environments are so nicely done! It looks fun so far, can't wait to see more, and play it eventually :D
Congratulations on the new job! Game looks incredibly promising. Excited to see it grow.
Thanks. Hope it can keep growing at a good pace haha
Fancy seeing you here ;)
I think all hairstyles should be available to you regardless of what form you pick rather than gender-locking it like some games still do. Im excited to see more from this game, im wondering if there will be romances and friends to make tho 👀
How big are your characters? I love how smooth the animations look.
Awesome update! I love the look of that pumpkin.
Glad you like it!
I love your art and dev vlogs, very cool keep it up
Thanks Paula!
Hey there, I just got on of your videos recommended and I love the idea of ChefRPG!
I was was working in hospitality for quite some time now, both in FOH and BOH and various positions. I also love pixel Art games to the two combined sounds like a lot of fun to Play.
As I said I have some experience in the food industry, so if you like I could give you some inspiration if managing a restaurant, the menu, the stuff, etc etc.
Anyways keep up the good work. It sounds and looks fantastic so far!
Everything is so pretty already! :D
Looks Great! Keep up the good work!
Really impressed with the lighting, its probably the thing I struggle with to implement most.
Yeah lighting is definitely challenging. Currently using URP, which seems convenient, but seems to have some limitations. Will probably need to combine with shaders for better effects
Dude I really like your art. I'd definitely buy the game.
Same!
omg I just found your channel! Everything here is GOLD and inspiring! How can you be so good at developing games and teaching?❤I definitely want to set game dev as my life goal. I want to make a 3D fashion game in the future and I am currently learning 3D modeling :)
This is what I was looking for 💡
Hehe awesome! I also learned the stats and inventory system from kryzarel!
Yeah it's a super underrated series. Has amazing content for making RPGs
Hey I am currently learning how to draw pixel art and I think yours is very good and also the game looks fun keep going.
Thanks! Not sure if you are on twitter, but tons of great pixel artists on there. I learned quite a lot from some of the artists on there.
God you’re so good
I am literally loving everything, omg. Maybe you can do thing beyond the gender (perhaps will be a bit harder, but worth it)
I do have a request: as a player i'm always very frustrated when hairstyles or clothes are gender-locked. I do realize for clothes it might be too much work to modify the sprites to show or hide breast shapes and such, but for the hair that shouldn't be too much trouble, and I'm sure your players would be happy to have as many choices as possible to make their characters look unique!
Minigames are great fun and I definitely agree on that it’s fun and a way to unstress to do some sideprojects even within the game to get some variations, since there is so much to grind on when making a game. How long have you worked on it so far and how much time per week did you work on it? :)
Started back in June, and usually work around 30 hours a week. Gonna slowly chip away at it and see where it goes.
Where's the 4th Devlog!? Can't wait to watch more 😍😍😍
Thanks Xavi! Coming in a few days. Been doing mostly coding for the past month so didn't have to much to show visually. The basic restaurant gameplay is almost ready now :)
I think the only piece of criticism I have is for gender-locking different hairstyles. If this is meant to be futuristic and have androids, I wonder if people would be conforming to masculine/feminine hairstyles in the same way we do now. This is such a great project, even the name "Chef RPG" is so charming and you are ridiculously multi-talented. Your unique perspectives as a trained architect make me feel like I have a lot to learn just from watching your videos!
Thanks for the kind words! Will probably add more hairstyles in the future, so I will keep that idea in mind!
You could maybe fade in the new floors of the hotel more and more for each step in the staircase.
The devlogs are so interesting and inspiring! I can't believe you get so much done in such a short time! I just wish you would change the characters - characterdesign is one of my petpeeves. I feel like the characters aren't as expressive and detailed as the rest of your world. And the animations look boneless? If that makes sense? Maybe you could implement an option of choosing the character artstyle at the start?
Super duper love this but that logo needs to be more 8 bit and maybe street fighter kinda font 💖
Minor polish thought: The way that levels just pop in (and I assume out) when you go up (or down) a staircase is kind of jarring. Would it be practical to have some kind of fade in/fade out effect on that transition?
I don´t like too much the female bodies😅. Just that, but I think this is amazing! And you are doing this alone?? No man, you are beyond Amazing! Keep it up!!😊🙏
Given our current understanding of gender and gender nonconformity as well as trans representation, I would encourage you to allow all genders to have access to all the hairstyles and bottoms (like skirts). It would also be interesting if a player could pick their body type and pronouns separately?
hey! can u share how you trigger gameobjects? i really wanna know how you did it :))
Is there anyway to share the animations for all the characters? or you have to animate manually for each character variation?
Is it possible to wear kimonos?
if your chose to be a robot would certain people treat you differently same question for the other way round with robots?
Yes, I think that would be an interesting aspect of the world. Like replicants in Blade Runner. It would also be affected by the speech skill, which androids could start with lower stats in
@@PixelArchitect i think you should make it so that androids should start with higher endurance since they are machines, meanwhile humans start with higher speech since they are social creatures. just a recommendation.
Can you change the game engine? Unity is very slow
What do you mean? Gameplay or Unity editor?
@@PixelArchitect gameplay
I just got a question? is this the final name of this game "chef rpg?" because it seems like you do more than just be a chef all day! and then you add "RPG" to it! why not call it something that would be more generalist! like the name of the main character if that's his story! or chef valley? if is all about cooking and what not! but if you do everything else then it should be something else? also the character customization should be done within in game play! like a hair you goto to a barber shop! for clothes and cosmetics you go into a shop! buy your clothes and you can change at home and or changing room! or in front of a crowd if that's your kink!
I would recommend that you remove the gender options in the character creation screen. Now, I'd like people not to take this too politically but If you really think about it, in games like these not only is gender irrelevant and unnecessary but it is also pretty much invisible. Regardless of how you personally feel about gender, having players simply be able to freely choose their names, hairs, body types and etc without having to label themselves into a gender would help a lot with diversity and immersion especially for those who like to project themselves into games! Even if you were to hypothetically add a family system, gender would still be irrelevant as it would have to be ignored or worked around in order for homossexual couples and androids to build families.
I think it would be nice to have a non-binary option (maybe still be able to chose male or female body still but not have the NPCs refer you in the gendered way) or set pronouns. It gets kind of annoying playing relaxing games when every ten minutes they go “lass, missy” etc (looking at you Stardew Valley). Especially considering that this a futuristic game an idea of being a genderless Android sounds kind of appealing. I understand that this might seem niche but it affects a lot more people than one might think. The option to set pronouns would be cool too but I understand if it’s a bit too much to handle.
do you could add a pronoun option? instead of tying it with body type, doing a simple he/she/they pass for all the dialogue would be great. ir make it ingerently neutral!
Saw a couple requests for this. I could potentially do something like that and allow mixing and matching (saw that Cyberpunk had something like that). It does involve drawing a lot more sprites though so may add it further down the road
@@PixelArchitect if nothing else, just allowing pronoun choice would be lovely!
