It has been only a few months since I announced the game, and while I've been busy working on one task after the other on the game, I got the fantastic opportunity to have a spot on this year's Wholesome Direct! If you don't know, Wholesome Direct is an annual Showcase organized by Wholesome Games on YouTube and Twitch, showcasing wholesome and cozy games. I'm very grateful for this opportunity and would love to welcome everyone coming here from this showcase to my little world of magic in Magical Delicacy.

Cooking in Magical Delicacy utilizes a deep attribute-based ingredient system, where each ingredient has unique properties which will affect the outcome of your meals, potions, and more. You'll learn how these properties influence each other throughout the game. The orders from your friends and customers for your freshly cooked food will always come with specific requirements that you must fulfill, which are met by choosing the right ingredients based on their properties. With this cooking system, you'll have the freedom to be creative while having puzzling challenges when creating your customer-pleasing dishes.

I finally put more time into drawing and came up with a new key illustration for the game that better reflects the atmosphere I'm going for. The artworks got refreshed across the board to reflect Magical Delicacy in a new light.

More and more games include cooking as a minigame or activity these days, to which I say: Yay! I love cooking in games, despite being a terrible chef in real life...

[h3]Dear Reader,[/h3]

After a few years of quiet development, I'm excited to tell you about my first game, Magical Delicacy. Last weekend I revealed it with my publisher, Whitethorn Games, at the Whitethorn Winter Showcase.

Watch the official announcement trailer:

With Magical Delicacy, I am creating an odd mix of a wholesome and accessible cooking game and a Metroidvania-inspired platformer. The main goal lies in cooking delicious meals and delivering them to friends and customers. In your own kitchen in the center of the city, you will be able to cook various types of foods; then, on your deliveries, you will have to explore the town, find and befriend characters, and stock up on ingredients through different means. You can read a more detailed description on the store page if you want to learn more.

Whitethorn Games' Usability & Accessibility Specialist Britt Dye prepared a small segment about accessibility for the Whitethorn Winter Showcase, including a small preview of features that will be available in Magical Delicacy.

As a solo developer, having Whitethorn Games to back me up for publishing and marketing is a big relief. I have Dale North from Scarlet Moon Productions on board for the soundtrack, whose work you can already hear in the announcement trailer; it's a perfect fit for the game! Still, a lot of work is in my own hands, and I'm doing my best to craft a lovely experience for you. The road ahead is still long, so until the game gets into your hands, the best you can do now is to wishlist the game!

Meanwhile, I look forward to telling you much more about Flora and the world you will visit with her.
