October Update: Idlis


Hello!!
We're back with an update for October. We have wrapped yet another level, and this time it's the first level players will be playing, and it features Idlis!



Idlis are made from steaming idli batter (made from rice and urad dal) and are a prevalent breakfast staple in South India. It's so popular that we almost wanted to avoid showcasing something so typical, but in the end, it didn't feel right to make a game about Tamil cuisine without idlis in them. 

 I've grown quite fond of this level because the puzzle design draws almost entirely from the utensils and equipment used to make idlis. It's almost as if there was already a puzzle in the process of making idlis, and we had to obfuscate the correct information.  


Since it's the first level, players will meet Venba and Paavalan for the first time.  At this point in their lives, they're questioning their lives in Canada and are anxious about their future when they receive some surprising news. The narrative and the cooking tie together here really well, and we're excited for when you'll eventually play it!

With the idli level behind us, we're moving forward with the next level, which will play quite differently from the rest of the game.  More on that on the next update!
