Cookmasters is an interactive cooking game where the player follows a step-by-step recipe to successfully prepare a cake. From the start, the player is immersed in a 3D kitchen.
The first mission is to read the instructions placed on the table, which outline the steps needed to cook properly.
The gameplay mixes realistic interactions (grabbing, placing, cooking) with fun mechanics, making the recipe both immersive and entertaining.
Main Recipe
Preparation of ingredients
- Collect four apples from the kitchen and place them on a cutting board. Thanks to a socket system, the apples snap into the correct positions.
- Take three colored apples and put them into a pot. They disappear and are replaced by applesauce.
- Pour the applesauce into a plate.
Cooking the crêpe
- Place a raw crêpe into a pan.
- Light the fire using a lighter. A fire sound effect and a light appear under the pan.
- Once the crêpe is cooked, place it onto a blue plate.
Final step
- When both the cooked crêpe and the applesauce are on the plate, a cake appears — recipe successfully completed!
Bonus Features
- Drink a milkshake hidden in the kitchen.
- Play around by flipping pancakes in the pan for extra fun.
Code & Logic
- Interface panels to guide the player through the recipe steps.
- Automatic appearance of applesauce and cake when the right items are combined.
Sockets
- Snap apples onto the cutting board.
- Place colored apples in the pot.
- Position applesauce and crêpe realistically on the plate.
Locomotion
- The player moves around the kitchen using teleportation via floor mats.
Grab System
- Objects in the kitchen can be freely picked up and moved.
Audio Effects
- Sound when grabbing an object.
- Fire sound and light when lighting the lighter.
- Cutting sound when slicing apples with a knife.
During development, we faced several challenges:
- Time constraints — we were working on other projects in parallel, which limited our ability to expand Cookmasters further.
- Collisions — some mechanics, like flipping a pancake inside the pan, were difficult due to collider issues.
If we continue development, possible extensions could include:
- Adding new recipes.
- Expanding the kitchen with additional rooms to explore.
- Enhancing interactions and adding more fun bonus features.
