I need some help right now, with two things:
- The currently available scene and the upcoming one are mostly character, and thus stat building (for both, the parent and the kid)
My problem now is that I am very unhappy with the stats I have.
This is what they look like for the parent right now:
Parent Stats
Organized vs Scatterbrained
Currently affects how organized your character is, e.g. how effectively they can cook a more complex dish, how efficiently they can buy stuff, or how likely they are to forget something in a hurry
Pragmatic vs Imaginative
Basically a creativity stat. Affects how good a character is at coming up with new dishes/how to make the best out of the ingredients they have at hand.
Calm vs Hot-headed
How well you handle stress and insults, how easily you lash out on people
Rude vs Polite
How likely you are to harshly insult someone
Careful vs Rash
How careful you are when trying something, how likely you are to jump head-first into the fray
Nervous vs Relaxed
How easily you are rattled by things and how prone you are to stage fright
Curious vs Disinterested
How likely you’ll follow some interesting clue or rumor, how likely you are to not mind your own business
Right now I’m looking into combining and/or renaming some of these, but my mind is blanking.
The first two I could combine into a Conventional vs Unconventional stat, perhaps.
Kid Stats
Straight Laced vs Oddball
The creativity stat, doubling as how ‘weird’ the kid is. This will affect the choice of powers available and what the kid does with them
Timid vs Boisterous
How likely they are to speak their mind and to jump head first into the fray.
Rest is yet unnamed
The kid’s stats have mostly the same effects as the parent’s stats, as of now.
I’d like some input on what you think. Could/Should something be renamed, combined, thrown out entirely? Are you missing a specific kind of stat?
Now, the second issue is a bit easier (I hope)
I need some dishes.
I have a list here of what might find its way into the game, but I’d like some community input.
If you could say which of these four categories a dish falls into, it’d be a major help:
Sweet, Spicy, Savory, Soothing.
Thank you
