Getting started + project ideas

Posted by Bon Appétit on January 13, 2022 · 2 mins read

What we have accomplished

  • Johnathon: Worked on prototyping a basic temperature system and stovetop function for the individual demo, refined the project pitch, and researched into required assets and budgeting
  • Katherine: Prototyped a boiling system that shows the color of an object changing as it is being cooked, and created the skeleton of this website.
  • Laksh: Implemented scripts for managing the UI for the game and object spawning using buttons, and researched about some assets for our cooking game, like models for food ingredients and dishes.
  • Hritik: Researched other applications like cookout that have a similar or somewhat overlapping user base, and looked into ideas and assets and how they could fit the space better.

Idea update

  • Co-op line cooking game set in a gourmet French Kitchen
  • Orders will be completed by coordinating with other players
  • Each player will have a specific role
    • Head chefs will be in charge of receiving orders and giving instructions to the other players

    • Boiling
    • Sauteing
    • Baking
    • Plating
    • Garnishing

  • Use realistic recipes with measurements
  • MVP will focus on:

    • Supports the following functions:
      • Frying
      • Baking
      • Sauteing
      • Garnishing
    • Temperature-checking system
    • Ticketing system for head chef
    • Rating system for final delivered food
