fuzzymooples Posted November 19, 2016 Historical Beef™ is a meat curation simulator featuring meat from game history. You play the protagonist, the meat curator, whose job it is to prepare museum displays of exquisite meats for public consumption (with the eyes, not the mouth). When your exhibit is opened, you arrangement of meats will be judged and graded. Will your displays get the brisket, or be a load of tough rump? This is being made by two dudes with no game dev experience but a lot of aesthetic meat guile. Fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We kinda got too excited and forgot to photograph the pizza before eating it! Also yes, we are very interested in the string quartet music! What a kind offer At this stage in development we are now working separately and have entered a silly pattern: I make lots of work and Fuzzymooples fixes things.

elliotpage Posted November 27, 2016 After a busy week doing other life things I am now back to doing important things: adding sick drop shadows to our title screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliotpage Posted December 3, 2016 Badatsuff indeed sent us a rad classy string quartet track, which is now our main BGM! Most of the "core" game is now finished so the remaining day is fleshing it out and adding things we think are neat. This has been a cool way to learn 1) Sketchup and 2) that my macbook doesn't like to charge, which has made progress a bit sluggish at times! I'd have a rad screenshot here but said laptop is still having a sulk at me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted December 5, 2016 A really funny idea, well executed, with lots of attention to detail (I love the bespoke graphics settings, the company title card, the meat descriptions). My only criticism really would be that, like most internet comedy videos, it goes on for a little too long - I'd fully experienced the joke about halfway through. I probably would have just put it all in one room and not made the player choose their meat, just select it automatically and display the text as a plaque. I'd be interested to know if it's possible to get a good review! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is, but judging is reliant on a number of hidden variable comparisons that skews it towards bad reviews more often than not due to the scoring bands, whoops! Thanks for the feedback!

elliotpage Posted December 6, 2016 Okay, I had to do a quick post-jam check and I fixed the Judging so its less roundly scathing and so you can hear the full range of judgements! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
