Thanks for playing! Adding somewhat intelligible food models (and other bits of polish) are the next step, now that I think the concept is pretty solid.
Whenever anything cooks I check if there's a valid recipe for the current ingredients (cooking water doesn't turn into anything rn, so there's not), and water isn't a "finished food" so it doesn't burn, so that's why it becomes dubious food. Obviously an oversight, I can give it an exception. In fact I may add a mechanic where recipes requiring water in pots cook faster if you first pre-boiled the water.
Were the omelet and bread on the same plate? I think that might cause the bug. Again that's something I didn't really think of before and can fix.
Thanks again for playing! And hopefully, if this project gets far enough along, you'll be able to design your own player character which means cute anime girls among other things.
