@AspiroGames Hi! I’m Rachel, A solo dev from the UK working on my dream game: Harbourlight.

You open a diner in a harbour town and learn the guests tastes and cook to match. The kitchen reads your ingredients and amounts so you can make their perfect dish.

@merrickbolarge Thank you! I must have missed this comment! Yes it’s still in development but I’ve designed 2 new areas!

All adding more buildings and mechanics for this little slice of harbour you’ve stumbled into!

This is my behind the table banner/backdrop for my demo events!

It’s gonna be setup like your sat at the diner serving someone, with some wooden plate props that I’ve hand made myself! (Former woodworker) and some dried herbs hanging over!

Taowood_ on insta if you’re curious

@paulavaynshteyn I think rules like this come from a sort of flipped survivorship bases, people only get annoyed at tutorials and point them out when they’re done badly.
I bet the games that people don’t think have tutorials actually have really well designed ones instead.
