Your Game's Inspiration

So here's a question: What did inspire you doing your game? If you've a lot of games feel free to tell different stories about them all!

Your inspiration could be of other game, book, movie, or a personal experience you had. Just share what jogged that idea in your mind 😅

Honestly, the idea came from how chaotic cooking can be. 😅

I’ve always loved games like Overcooked, but I also wanted to add the panic of trying to remember recipes while everything is happening at once. That “wait… was it tomato or mushroom?!” feeling became the whole concept.

So Recipe Frenzy is basically my love letter to messy kitchens, memory fails, and laughing through the chaos. 🥘

That mix of memory, pressure, and fun became the heart of Recipe Frenzy.

How curious! A topic whose host user uses Vanellope as its avatar (Wink wink, King Candy said that too), which easily leads me to what inspired me to create games.

It was simply after watching the movie Wreck-It Ralph. I made some fangames for the purpose of wanting to feel the daily life of those characters being in a videogame and hoping that the sequel would maintain my fascination (SPOILER: it didn't, a disappointment that led me to duality).

That's why my game that took the longest to develop has features reminiscent of that movie.

Many different sources: Sometimes when I play a game or see a movie i think: how can i do that myself? Sometimes i just imagine a fanficion/alternate events or an MC in a already existing universe (basically daydreaming XD). Then I just write the ideas down and develop them with more detail when i see fit.

 Sometimes even real life, either history of civilizations/mythology or even the current global panorama (or at least the part i am aware from) help to create a lore or character with more weigh in their own universes (Kings/Queens of civilizations, how a fictional war started, Generals, resources disputes, etc.)

My game's inspiration is Contra series and similar games with same control scheme.

However, I also took inspiration from other games especially metroidvanias if I were making one.
