Happy Labour Day, for those in the world that celebrates it. (Sorry people in the US)
Pardon the radio silence for the past few months. Oyen Studio as a team are doing this as a passion, and we all have a dayjob on top of that.
To summarize, the previous demo/version of the game that some might have tried would be removed and reworked into something that would be leaning more towards a Visual Novel + Cooking Simulator gameplay.
We had lukewarm feedback regarding it, and as a team we decided to double down on trying to sell the experience of actually being in another world. From the world building, characters/races, to the cuisine.
You will still see some old screenshots on Steam, but we will work on changing it out as the game develops.
Meanwhile, we have been working up to some in-person events such as Indie Jam in Malaysia, as well as the upcoming Doujin Market. Indie Jam was a success, and many have positive feedback regarding the art style and direction we are moving in. So we are confident to deliver something that we can be proud of, that players can enjoy.
Currently, we have a small snippet of what would potentially be the new direction we are moving in. For those who have tried, thank you. It might bug out, but rest assured that there will be a polished demo by next week.
