Thanks for the detailed report, Smokey, and for disclosing the AI-agent testing. I checked the release source and found the same gap: care ends at comfortable without returning to hungry, so later meals use the smaller Bond rewards. I've logged this for correction. A fix needs checks across the full care cycle and existing saves; the public demo hasn't been updated yet. It's also helpful to know the merge/craft instructions and saving worked in your test. Thank you for the specific reproduction steps!

Update — 26 October 2026: the English itch.io demo is now updated. After a feed → play → rest cycle, 30 seconds of focused play makes Cream hungry again, so hungry meals can earn their full base Bond rewards again. Background/offline time does not advance hunger, and hunger never removes Bond. Existing save files remain supported.

Our stack for Cream's Cozy Cottage:

Code and iteration: Codex.

Art: OpenAI image generation.

Engine: Godot, exported for desktop browsers with WebGL 2.

English localization: AI-assisted.

The demo combines material merging, crafting and cat care. Our onboarding work focuses on making the next action concrete: merge matching materials, craft a useful item, then use it to care for Cream. We also wrote a short first-treat guide for players.

We continued an earlier prototype; the jam entry describes that history. It is still an in-development demo, and mobile compatibility is not verified.

Entry: /jam/ai-jam-5/rate/5217300

This process note is AI-assisted too. We'd appreciate feedback on whether the first-care instructions make the next action clear.

Hello! Cream's Cozy Cottage is a gentle game about combining materials, making little comforts, and caring for Cream the cat.

A short gameplay preview of merging materials:

Start with a guided first-care tutorial, then:

• Merge Wood, Fabric and Food through three nine-level chains.
• Make nine craftable foods, beds and toys in total.
• Feed Cream, play together and help Cream rest.
• Grow your Bond, unlock decoration styles, and work through six Story Journal chapters.

This is an in-development demo. A desktop browser with WebGL 2 is recommended. Use a mouse; progress is saved locally in the same browser and site.

I'd love feedback on two things: Is the first-care tutorial clear? Does choosing and working toward a crafting goal feel natural?

For transparency, artwork, code and English localization were assisted by generative AI, including OpenAI image generation and Codex.
