I really like the concept and difference between the gathering and cooking scenes but I got stuck on the ingredients list, when I tried to make different recipes, the food items would randomly disappear so I wasn’t sure if I was doing anything right or wrong.
Maybe consider making some of the recipes a bit more obvious so the player knows what to combine without wasting resources. I would like to see a running animation for the chef character so his constant hover t-posing was a little awkward looking lol.
