Upgrade chef skill to unlock the dessert recipes

The player is going to help the shiba grow up from newbies to a professional chef. As the raise of skill rate, the shiba could unlock more and more various dessert recipes. Those lovely shiba shaped desserts will satisfy the taste buds and eyes for the customers. And also warming up their hearts.

Busy preparing ingredients and enjoy the process of making desserts

Knead the glutinous rice flour into a dough, drop it into boiling water, and once it floats, scoop it out and let it cool. Carefully drizzle with a special secret sugar-soy sauce... Ta-da! The fragrant Shiba Riceball is ready to shine. What other cute desserts will you make with your furry paws to sell today?

Every second matters! Pack dessert bento for your lovely customers

The only reason that various customers are in the long queue is that they can’t wait to taste your delicious handmade dessert. In a limited time, you’ll put the correct desserts into bento boxes and sell them. Their happy faces are your biggest motivation.

Decorate the kitchen and shop by hardworking earning money

No matter in reality or in the game, money is so useful! The player needs to use money to buy the ingredients for desserts, different kitchen utensils, beautiful decorations for kitchen and shop etc. We even use it to buy lovely aprons for the shiba chef.

Grandma loves you so much!

What’s the experience of having a grandma who loves traveling so much? The grandma always remembers her favourite grandchild. She will send the player postcards during the traveling. Those fun and interesting postcards become our precious collection. The only thing I could say is that the love by grandma is invincible!

Nov. 2024 Shiba Sweet Gamedev Monthly Update

Hello, adorable players! This is YaMao, and Im thrilled to see you here.

Welcome to the November 2024 monthly update for game development! If youd like to keep up with these updates every month, please dont hesitate to hit that follow button for Maowoo Games.

November has been an incredibly productive month, and one major motivation has been the official launch of the Shiba Sweet store page! Players now can check out the page for game details, screenshots, and descriptionsand even add it to their wishlist! Seeing this come to life has made everything feel more real and inspired me to work even harder to meet your expectations.

Heres what we accomplished this month:

1. Game Development Progress

a. Completed Shibas Apron Designs

In Shiba Sweet, players can purchase a variety of aprons for their Shiba chef. After all, wearing outfits you love can make baking desserts even more enjoyable!

This month, we wrapped up all the designed aprons, applied textures, and imported them into the game engine. While theres still programming work to add functionalities, the art side of things is officially complete.

b. Kitchen Wall Decorations Completed

From modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, to importing into the game engine, all wall decorations for the kitchen are now finished! Each piece is designed to match the games Japanese art style, including several sushi models as decorative items for the walls. I hope players will enjoy the aesthetic touches when they see them.

c. Dessert Baking Process Finalized

The entire creation process for all desserts is now complete, including visual effects for each step. Beyond the initial two desserts, more than twenty additional recipes were finished this month. I also spent some time optimizing the code to make it cleaner and more efficient.

d. Added Chef XP Calculation Feature

Since the game includes a progression system, I needed a way to reward players for their hard work. Now, when players successfully create delicious and adorable desserts, they earn chef experience points!

The basic functionality is ready, and the next step is integrating it with the UI and polishing the presentation.

e. Updated Ingredient Textures

Sometimes textures that look good during creation can appear dull or overly stark under the games lighting setup. When that happens, adjustments are necessary to find the best design and coloring approach for the game.

This month, I updated the textures for coffee and white chocolate packaging, as well as refined the colors for vanilla and sugar. These tweaks help the game visuals feel more cohesive and polished.

2. A Flurry of Promotions

For indie games, marketing can be just as challenging as development itself.

Since the Shiba Sweet Steam store page went live at the end of October, Ive been focusing on creating and sharing short videos for promotion. Every day, I post at least one short video (Reels or Shorts) on various platforms, helping the game reach new players without a dedicated advertising budget.

I believe there are people out there who resonate with my style and visionplayers who will love the gameplay and cute art style of Shiba Sweet. As fans of adorable games, well recognize each other amidst the crowd.

Interestingly, I wasnt very enthusiastic about marketing at first. It felt overwhelming and unfamiliar. But as I developed a routine of posting and analyzing data daily, Ive grown more comfortable with it. Now, I even enjoy turning moments from game development into bite-sized videos that share the ups and downs of this journey with potential players. Its become both fun and meaningful.

3. Wrapping Up

Looking back, Im proud of how much Ive accomplished this month being an indie game developer.

As the final month of the year approaches, Im determined to give it my all, leaving no regrets behind. My goal is to package this adorable and delightful Shiba game and deliver it to players next year. Hope Ill bring them joy and fun times.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end. See you next month for the next gamedev update!
