Dishcover Indonesia: Android Cooking Game Design, Mechanics and Development

Video games is a growing medium that has been around for decades, and the mobile device market for video games has started exponentially evolving from recent years. Indonesia's game development community is still budding and has more room to expand in continuing years. With Indonesia's rich culture it's a wonder how there are not many popular games that revolve around it, especially one that includes its unique cuisine. Subsequently, cooking games too have slowed down within the market where current games are not able to satisfy consumers therefore none are playing games from the genre. The authors decided to develop a game that utilizes both the cooking game genre and Indonesia's cuisine to appeal to the Android market. This is done through a survey for market research and player testing to accomplish a game worthy of the expectations of the current market.
