Lemon Cake Devlog #6 Almost Done Baking!

Lemon Cake

Restore an abandoned bakery and prepare pastries from farm to table! Grow fresh ingredients in the greenhouse, cook pastries & sweets in the kitchen and serve your baked goods to hungry customers in your own shop!

Hi everyone! I’m really excited (and a tiny bit stressed!) to share this last monthly devlog before the release of Lemon Cake!! I’ll be pretty busy in the next two weeks to finalize everything for the release on February 18th, I just hope you will all enjoy Lemon Cake! At this point in development, I’m not working on any big features as they are all finished. January mostly consisted of bug fixing and playtesting to make sure the release goes smoothly, so I’ll keep this devlog short & sweet! [h2]Daily Menu Keybinds[/h2] This feature was requested quite a bit during the demo, so I had to include it in the game! You’ll now be able to select which recipe you want to prepare by using a keybind instead of clicking on it. The recipes are set on 1 to 6 by default but the controls can be changed to fit your preferences. [h2]Localization[/h2] Localization is still a work in progress at this point, I started to work on it a bit too late in development but I think I can still set it up on time for the release. If not, it’ll be added in an update soon after the initial release. The languages planned for now are English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. More languages might be added later on! [h2]Achievements[/h2] We’ve got achievements for Lemon Cake!! There are currently 17 achievements set up, and I might still add a few more before the release! [h2]Save & Load Game[/h2] Better late than never! You can now save and load your progress in Lemon Cake. There are three different save files available. [h2]Tutorial Update[/h2] While the tutorial is mostly the same from the one in the demo, I added a few more steps in it to include the new features such as cleaning the tables and sweeping spills in the kitchen! [h2]Early Decorations[/h2] I thought the bakery looked a bit empty at the beginning of the game, before you can build the furniture or plant trees. So I added some clutter and broken down furniture in each room. This really adds to the impression that the bakery is old and broken down at the start, and makes it even more satisfying to upgrade the rooms!

These includes classic options like a chef hat and a beret. You can also go for a silly look with a paper boat hat, cat ears or a stack of pancakes on your head! [h2]Future Updates[/h2] As we get closer to release I’ve started to think about what could be added in Lemon Cake in future updates. The main things I’d be interested in implementing later on are different game modes and seasonal events. I think it’ll be nice to see what you all would like to have added in Lemon Cake once you start playing too, so please share your ideas with me!
