The Golden Recipe is the final project of the game design course of the MDM program. As the game designer, I designed the core mechanic and the cooking system. I also challenged myself in the role of 2D artist, delivered character and monster design, a series of character animation, and the teaser video of the game.

To acquire new abilities, players are required to collect ingredients from monsters and cook up special magical meals. Before the battle, a campfire will be set for players to make the meal. The mastery of culinary arts will be imperative to the final success.
