Hello again, young chefs! 🐾🐶 We’ve been cooking up a storm! Welcome to Cook For Love’s third Devlog – 📚Backstories and Puzzles🧩
This will mean that we’re going to talk about Clement’s cooking adventures, as well as his to-be wife and the universe of Tell Me Your Story.
At the end of the devlog there will be some information about upcoming changes in Cook For Love based on your playtest feedback 🎮 Thank you so much for everyone who has given their feedback! If anyone else wants to take part in the playtest – come on in!
Let’s start with Clement’s cooking adventure. What happened in his life before he met Rose on the Orient Express? Was he fated to be a masterful cook?
Well, he actually ended up in Jean-Luc Chatillon’s restaurant because of a newspaper ad. He did not have much confidence in his skills, and in the end, he was left to care for the restaurant’s kitchen alone… with Jean-Luc’s recipe book as his only guide.
Well, the master chef believed that “time is the best teacher” and that the first person who answered his newspaper ad would be the right one. Clement does turn out to be the perfect candidate, and with the help of kind neighbors, he’s able to climb to the top.
Cook For Love and its predecessor – Tell Me Your Story have more in common than Clement’s character. Players of TMYS got glimpses of our amateur cook in the Orient Express chapter of the story and will easily recognize the cozy art style. Besides shared aesthetics and characters, there are also mechanics that the two games share. The fans of our puzzle game will definitely be familiar with some in-game controls and environment interactions.
The familiar UI was reshaped to include new functions and additional recipe-related instructions.
The recipes in Cook For Love are quite simple even if their difficulty ramps up with each new cooking level that Clement achieves. From smoothies and dinners to cakes and pizzas – these dishes are there to promote a healthy approach to eating and ease players into the world of cooking. Many meals can be made from easily accessible ingredients and balance out the diet of anyone who’d like to spend some time on home-cooked meals.
After his cooking adventures and meeting Rose during his Orient Express days, Clement settles down. That doesn’t mean he’s not a busy man! He has a creative and curious granddaughter to spend time with and plenty of adventures that she’d like to know.
For those cooking fans who like puzzles just as much as food, Tell Me Your Story will give more context as to how Clement and Rose met, as well as who is his adventurous other half. All is shown through the eyes of Amelia – their granddaughter.
Our devs already made a little list of upcoming changes based on your feedback: Moving the narrative of reopening the restaurant to the foreground. You’ll hear more about living in Paris from the new customers visiting Clement’s restaurant. The possibility of looking into the dining area of the restaurant. Reactions to and dialogue about the delicious dishes from customers. If you’d like to take part in the playtest it’s available on Cook For Love’s Steam page 🐶❣ Thank you for reading Devlog #3 📚Backstories and Puzzles🧩! Next time we will talk about art and visuals, as well as the delicious-looking animations 🍰✨
