Birthday Cake Recipe

1. Game Introduction 🎂

Welcome, little adventurer!
You are a cheerful, shape-shifting fairy living on a peaceful farm—until the farmer suddenly announces that it’s his daughter’s birthday and rushes out to buy her a present. Before you can even blink, the responsibility of preparing the entire birthday cake lands squarely on your tiny magical shoulders.

Explore the farm, meet its quirky residents, and gather everything you need through a series of odd, charming, and sometimes slightly chaotic interactions. Every creature and every corner of the farm hides a different way to help you, if you’re curious enough to discover it. Piece things together in your own mischievous fairy style—and maybe, just maybe, deliver the perfect birthday surprise.

3. Development Highlights 🌳

a. Two scenes to explore

Despite the main farm scene, another kitchen scene is also available for players to explore. They will start from here and are later able to interact with the door to get into the farm. On the other hand, by interacting with the lodge door in the farm, one will get inside the kitchen.

b. Flexible game objects & Interactive controlling methods

This project features a flexible system in which every creature on the farm can become the player’s controllable character. Initially, players will take a first person point of view. Then, by approaching an object within a certain distance, it becomes highlighted, indicating that the player can press F to switch into that object’s third-person view. Also, switching between characters is also available.

This allows players to seamlessly jump between different creatures and experience the environment through their distinct perspectives.

c. Interesting Ingredients Collection Methods and System

The way to collect recipe ingredients is quite novel.

For example, you collect strawberry jam by becoming a strawberry and controlling it to be stepped on by a cow. (More to explore)
