Project Overview
Our client hired us to bring the thrill of a professional kitchen with an addictive and fast-paced cooking game. With a wide selection of ingredients, kitchen appliances, and dishes to choose from, a users would be able to cook and serve delicious meals from all around the world like a trained chef. As they tap to grill, bake, and prepare dishes, they’ll travel through 6 unique locations, rapidly serving up regional cuisines to starving customers. With unlockable dishes, locations, and towns to explore, and a diverse range of customers to impress, this unique and entertaining culinary game offers endless variety and hours of entertainment.
Client’s Goals and Our Roles
Our client approached us in 2019 with the goal of developing a 2D kitchen gaming app that would offer high user retention rates. They wanted to create a game with a similar concept to Cooking Craze, but with unique locations and classic cuisines.
Working closely with the client, we developed a plan to create a game that would spark a player's interest in cooking, provide a sense of thrill and accomplishment, and be compatible with a variety of devices and screen sizes. To achieve this, Logic Simplified designed a game that features hundreds of levels with different themes, ensuring a fresh and engaging challenge for players.
Overall, the goal of this project was to create a lightweight, addictive game that would keep players entertained for hours on end. We believe that our unique approach to game development, combined with our expertise in offshore outsourcing, has enabled us to deliver a product that meets the client's expectations and exceeds them.
Challenges
Food models
In this cooking game, players advance through the levels by upgrading their food and restaurant. Each dish can be upgraded up to 5 times, which often requires new textures or entirely new models. This presented a major challenge, as we had over 80 dishes and needed to create a variety of variations and place multiple ingredients on one table for each level. The mechanics of the game rely on these upgrades, making it a crucial element of gameplay.
Customer count
In the customer count-based levels of our game, players must choose from a list of food items without repeating the same order. This requires a unique list for each level, which was prepared manually in our database. With more than 100 levels in each city and 3 tiers per level, this was a significant challenge in the development process. Ensuring the credibility of these lists required careful manual preparation and review.
Our Customized Solution
Using Unity as our development platform, our team of expert game developers created this cooking game that tests players' memory and speed through skillfully designed levels.
The first phase of the game was released in April 2020, after undergoing several iterations to achieve the perfect balance of a freemium model, social scalability, and challenging gameplay.
Featuring stunning graphics and catchy animations, the game takes players on a culinary journey through fictional locations based on a variety of global cuisines. With over 600 challenging levels and more than 100 dishes with 70 ingredients to choose from, each level unlocks new goals for players to achieve within a time limit. We also packed this game with hundreds of kitchen interiors and appliances to help players cook and serve to the best of their ability. As a result of our game app developers’ hard work and attention to detail, the game has gained tremendous popularity among fans of cooking games.
The Impact of our Deliverables
Through thorough testing and careful consideration of the client's needs, our game development team successfully deployed a game that allows users to fully immerse themselves and connect with their dreams of being a chef. The result is a smoothly running, highly efficient game that provides a seamless and rewarding gaming experience for players. Our chef kitchen game has quickly become one of the fastest-growing in its category, with over 100,000 downloads on Android and iOS platforms.
It is exciting to see the number of subscribers joining in the fun and putting on their chef's hat to get cooking in their own virtual restaurant.
Expanding the Game: New Cities and Features on the Horizon
Currently, our game app development team is working on expanding the game by adding new cities with various themes and food items. This includes both front-end and back-end updates on the portal and in the Unity application. We are currently focusing on the enchanting city of Florence, which will introduce over 100 new levels, ingredients, and delicacies. This will provide even more cooking adventures for players to experience.
