Greetings Seedings!
What is that smell coming from the castle kitchens?
Hmmmm smells like some sort of freshly baked pie!
Our stomachs are rumbling like distant thunder.
Let's head downstairs and see what's cooking, in the Oven Ready Cooking Update.
RECIPE BOOK
What better way to start your culinary career than with a good old fashioned Recipe Book.
Collect recipes and flick through the jam-encrusted pages in search of marvellous meals.
There are 7, yes SEVEN different cooking minigames to try as you whip up a creamy frenzy of fantastical foodstuffs.
SOUPS
Thick, creamy, tasty, homely, simple.
But enough about me! Let's talk soups.
Simply grind your ingredients in the Hob, before you put it on the hob.
Confused?
Well, it will all make sense.
Just time the arrow to the groove in this simplest of soup-making sections.
STEWS
Do people called Stu like stew? Does Stewart make stew art?
How much stew could a Stu stew if a stewing stew could stew stew?
Who knows?
In this minigame, you must choose the ingredients and add them to the pot in the right order.
The timers will flip one by one so try to get them all to finish at the same time!
JAMS
We're jammin'!
Yes, preserve your preserves for posterity with the jam making!
Chop up your berries and pop them in the pot before the sands of time run out.
Watch the temperature and always try to keep it balanced.
Hmmm sticky, sweet and jam-packed with goodness.
PIES
Rollin' rollin' rollin',
Keep that pastry rollin',
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Raw dough!
The world is a much better place with pastry on your face.
PUDDINGS
Puddings always bring glad tidings, as well as adding a few inches to the waistline.
Fairly simple to make, just make sure you don't burn them in the kiln.
I just realised I am drooling as I type this, but...must...resist...puddings...
BREADS
Man can not live on bread alone, they say.
You could, if the bread was big enough. You could have a baguette as a table and a nice sourdough chair too. At night, you'd take off your loafers and slip into bread, and your naan would come and tuck you in.
Can you tell that I am hungry?
SANDWICHES
Sandwiches are the best thing since sliced bread, with a filling.
Invented by the Earl of Sandwich, thousands of years ago, Quillians keep the quaint tradition alive by making some truly disgusting homages to a once noble art.
Can you do any better? Could you create a toastie that won't make even your pigs barf?
UI
Cooking is not the only thing included in this lovely update.
We have started overhauling the entire UI!
So expect a new WIP inventory, Status, Task screen and calendar.
We added new banners, task systems, hotbars and all sorts of other goodies.
Please excuse that some of the old UI is still hanging around like a bad smell, but we will get rid of that stink with some freshly baked Apple Bread.
EVENTS
We have spent a good couple of months or so creating a new editor tool that allows us to create events to finally flesh out the land of Quill.
We have 3 such tests of it's power in this update...a weather event, a competition and something a little bit more quirky.
This all paves the way for tons of new story, goals, things to see, things to do, things to mess with and surprises aplenty.
See if you can discover them!
We also have a few extra lovely bits and bobs in the update...please read the patch notes for more information.
Until next time friends! Happy cooking!
LOVE,
