Bringing Food to our Parafolks’ Plates
🕑 Added 2023-01-27 14:59:44 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Léa and Chloé here.
We have been working on something exciting behind the scenes. While we have already tackled the overall environments and vegetation’s art styles, there was still something we had yet to test out: food! We had a lot of fun working on it, so we are excited to show our work to you all today.
For the past few weeks, we have been defining the style for our food. We selected a few meals in order to test out a few things. We needed to first see how we could make the assets look tasty with the limited resolution we have available, but we also had to see how we would be representing different food textures.
This family couldn’t decide what to eat for dinner, so they all cooked different meals!
We decided to try creating a Japanese curry dish to test how we would draw rice and thick stew-like textures. Making the rice readable from a distance and not look like a white ball was quite tricky! No pain, no grain.
Creating ramen was a must have for us; a lot of team members really enjoy ramen. We got to see how we can draw noodles soaked in broth and meat slices. Yummy!
When in doubt, just put sauce on spaghettis; the pastabilities are endless! This plate needed a complex hand drawn texture, but thankfully we’re going to be able to reuse it for different pasta recipes.
A good old club sandwich was a great way to see how we could make a triangle interesting! We wanted our sandwich to be imperfect, thick and appetizing. Many sandwiches have been eaten during this test, for research purposes, of course.
After eating a heavy meal, what’s better than some healthy fruits? This fruit bowl may end up being more decorative than an actual food item in the game, but it helped outline how different fruits should look like in meals for the future.
A French romantic date out in the garden! We even thought about the fizzy expensive drink. Like with the club sandwich, we didn’t want the cake slices to just be sharp triangles, so we instead opted for a more organic feel with some slight imperfections.
Some dream of cake, others bake it happen!
That is all for today. We hope you enjoyed this little sneak peak and that it didn’t get you too hungry! We are looking forward to creating more meals some time down the line, since we had a blast creating the food we showcased today. What other food would you like in the game?
Have a great weekend! (˶◕‿◕˶✿)

Honestly I just want the food to look ok and have a little variety. *IE: No slop on a plate with no indication whatsoever of what it even is* If you can do better than that I'll be happy. :)
