Art Sample 9: Cooking Tree (Patreon)

Anyway, here you have a demonstration of our food crafting tree. You won't see this actually implemented for a while, and it's very much going to be a matter that can and will change over time, but we wanted you guys to have a sample of how the various crops you harvest can be combined into meals. The idea, for the time being, is that crops and meals give various temporary bonuses to NPCs, but for monsters, it will be the primary method of boosting their stats (where as leveling them up will give access to other kinds of advancement for them). Monsters will have a limited number of times they can be fed each day, probably just once, and this is where meals become important. Meals allow you to combine the stat boosting effects of multiple foods together, or even enhance the chances of certain traits being passed onto children. It's really all up in the air right now, so expect it to change.
