hahaha!(I'm not bullying) very interesting! really, i was expecting a game about cooking, but is rather uncommon to see helpful applications made with unity. Very original concept! I'll not test the app because I don't like cooking ! but your video showed enough to judge! congratulations! your app looks very professional.

 

Why did you decide to use unity for this? I find working with menus very tedious. How did you approach the project? Looks very professional indeed, good job.

 

@earrgames: thank you

@joni.giuro: thank you! It all started as a really small project, my girlfriend had this small idea and it went bigger and bigger. I come from the game industry and working with unity is just so intuitive for me, and with unity we had a first prototype done very quickly. Thanks to the possibility of extending your projects with nice plugins. Which really saves you a lot of development time. So, for a two man indie dev studio it was just the right choice for us.

 

Did you use anything particular for the UI? NGUI?

 

I second Joni. What did you guys use to create your UI? Was it a custom made system? It looks really slick!

 

We used the excellent DF-GUI(daikon forge) system. With some additional custom changes. I think we couldn't have done it without it. Especially the editor was a challenge because of the different z-ordering stuff going on.

 

Awesome, really interesting use of Unity. Excellent job.

 

Very nice looking video.

 

Very nice video and app.

 

Awesome App indeed. 2 thumbs up!
