Hey y’all, just thought I’d give another progress update for Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!

First off the art for the game will be finished this week. It’s incredible that this game has been drawn by one person (Camille Kuo), and she’s been working for almost a year now on this game. But finally all of the in-game art, revisions, everything will be done, sans some extra art stuff I might need down the production path. That’s a huge milestone so congrats Camille, thanks for being so awesome! :D

I also haven’t forgotten about the music update that I was going to post a week or so ago; I thought it would be more interesting if the composer himself, Jonathan Geer, posted the article on working on the music for the game, but he’s got several projects going on right now so it might be a bit before he can get to it. I got some new music in the other week and man, it’s just all coming together nicely.

On my end of things it’s been a bit rocky; the office that has been under construction for almost a YEAR now is still not finished, and I’ve had a spat or two with the contractor, going so far as to see what my legal options would be if this didn’t get done soon. I ended up taking over most of the construction so that involves me calling people and getting estimates, making sure the workflow is in order of people doing things in specific timeframes, etc. It’s an exhausting, time consuming thing, but in a weird way somewhat exciting because I’m actually getting things done (whereas the office would be lucky to get one or two things done in a week). I’ve had little time to program over the last two weeks unfortunately, but I hope to remedy that soon as I’ve just about got everything resolved. Gah.

This week I’m actually moving to an awesome new computer that I got, with all the latest tech and whatnot (GTX 980Ti, 16gb/RAM, i7-6700K…I’m not a huge computer tech guy but I think that’s pretty good!) That’ll allow for a three screen display and output to HDTV easily once my office is done and it’s VR ready, which is handy for my VIVE coming in this week. Oh man, I so cannot wait. I have a whole ‘nother blog post I want to share about VR but it doesn’t seem right to do so until I get to try it for myself (by that way, that’s not related to anything with CSD 2…can’t do VR until I can do 3D games, and I already have this and another game lined up for the immediate future!)

Anyways hopefully I can get back on the programmin’ wagon by next week and churn out that gameplay footage soon. I’ll be posting some art every now and then (like that delish Asparagus above) and keep y’all posted on everything.
