[h1][b]Hello Chocolate Enjoyers! 👋[/b][/h1] [b]Welcome to the first devlog! 🔥 We’re extremely excited to be able to share some of the current progress with our community, especially before the [b]upcoming Playtest which will begin tomorrow- on April 4th, 2024[/b]. Today though, we’d like to take you for a quick tour around the place where all the magic happens- your future chocolate factory! 🍫[/b] As you may have deduced, the game takes place in a beautiful steampunk city. You won’t have time to wander around the area but you’ll get to admire the sight from a spacious balcony located on the first floor of the building. 🔍 At this point you might have wondered… won’t I be lonely during the gameplay? Don’t worry, we’ve got it covered! There is one more worker in your business. A one and only [b]assistant robot[/b]! At the beginning he may not be too lively but during your gameplay you’ll have plenty of chances to upgrade him! 💪 His most basic function is to give you some pointers but with a speech module, some additional cooling modules and time he’ll be more and more active! [b]If you’d like to know more about his functions or perhaps suggest what you’d like him to be able to do please let us know in the comments and we’ll make sure to cover this topic in a separate devlog. 🤖[/b] Back to your factory, the place consists of a few rooms, the most important being the warehouse 📦, the production hall 🍫 and the office 📝 in which the aforementioned balcony is situated! Warehouse is the place where all the ingredients are kept. It's also the residence of your robotic friend! 👍 [h3][b]The production hall consists of all the machinery you’ll use to create, decorate and pack the amazing sweets you’ll make. 🤤 Keep in mind that some of the machines will not be available right from the start, while others will have unlockable upgrades allowing you to be even more creative! ❤️‍[/b][/h3] Office is your private area from which you’ll get to manage the entire operation! 💪 Oh, we almost forgot to tell you that you’ll get to decorate more than just the sweets. The entire building will be available for you to customize. Hopefully the right combination of wallpapers, floor, rooftop will allow you to create your chocolate masterpieces in an environment that suits you.
