Collab project completed by PrimalTamarix and I for the 'New Year, New Skills' game jam (January 2024) hosted by Bitter Sails Games.

We're complete beginners so the first few days were spent just figuring out how to even get started and we eventually chose Scratch as the engine to use as it seemed the simplest for us to understand. We both took part working on the programming using a tutorial and our own initiative.

We're very grateful to lalalini's tutorial video on YouTube which helped us set up the main game mechanics.

The game is very much a work in progress and we hope to continue developing it past this stage, once we get the hang of other engines.

We were happy that we managed to use the colour palette provided for the game jam and the goal we had in mind was to create a cosy atmosphere and a simple, fun game with some interesting characters.

Part of our broader plan was to match the theme of "building connections" by having more interactions with the characters, such as reoccurring orders and a reputation system. It was a bit too ambitious for the time being but we'd love to continue expanding on this idea in the future.

Temporary background image in unfinished 'Tutorial' page was found on Google as a placeholder but we haven't been able to find the original image link & artist, and we ran out of time to remove it and update it with our own drawn background.
