Overview
November is basically a push to try to get a fully playable version of the game. Adding additional art work and features so that I can get some play testers to prod the game for game breaking bugs or extreme friction causing UI/UX.
Features
Day 01 (Tutorial Level) and Day 02 Dialogue Sequences
Using Pixel Crushers Dialogue System plugin definitely made this much easier than it would have been without. Most of the time spent of this was modifying the system to fit my needs and create exceptions to the pace game for the tutorial stage. Introducing features bit by bit.
Dialogue Options Hints
This feature was thought up when I reallized even I had a difficult time trying to figure out what combinations of flavour would lead to which dialogue branch. I also wasn't going to design and develop a complex system to take into account of how every flavour would affect every dialogue. Just the illusion of it would suffice I think. So simplifying the process would hopefully make the game less of a guessing game. This is another one of those features that I think would be good but cant really confirm until I get play testers which fortunately would be soon.
Improvements
Credits and Ingredient List Layout Changes
The layouts showing the remaining credits and ingredients used have been adjusted a little bit to make it easier to look at
Customer Portrait and Name
A feature to help with immersion.
