I spent a 2+ years and all my personal savings making this game (alone). I love survival games, but I also like cooking... so how about survival game with realistic cooking & eating animations? (programming.dev)

I'm gonna be real, polish the fuck out of the mechanics. Just make sure those are 100%.

All those animation issues can be fixed, but if the game itself is unoptimized and unfinished it won't matter.

I suck at animating myself, but it still might be cheaper to pay an animator to fix those up rather than spend all that time doing it yourself.

You are right! I will do my best to figure it out.

In my worthless opinion, if the game is functioning as intended AND you get those sweet advertisements out there. It will probably sell pretty alright. Survivals are big right now.

Hi, Yeah as a survival games lover i am trying to make a game that you never saw on other survival games. For example, did you see any survival game with the cooking meet animations like that? İt is kot final result. İ will polish it. Thanks

Dont count on animations selling your game, my guy. It helps but its no bandaid for addictive gameplay. There could be no animation at all and if its fun I'll still play it. Make sure the mechanics bring about that feeling of completing tasks and advancing and it'll do fine.
