We have plans to add features like, customizables, pets, a garden to grow ingredients, a menu, etc.

But the future is uncertain so we will update you guys about the features as the development progresses.

The target audience to our game is women between 23-28 years old

but, whyyyyy?

The focus of our game is to be cozy.

By reading the article "What are cozy games and what makes them cozy "

We can see that:

“Among developers, there's a general agreement that, while the cozy audience skews slightly
towards women and girls, the genre's future demographic is unclear"

“Cozy games, like Animal Crossing, are sometimes marketed to women.”

Stating that at the moment cozy games are marketed towards women.

They also say:

“Ast has played games all her life, and was a fan of "horsey" games as a girl. Cozy games,
she says, are sometimes positioned as adult versions of those genres, and while that seems
like a retrograde interpretation of women and games, "we've got to start somewhere," she
says. In the past, almost zero games were marketed or made with adult women in mind.”

Stating that the cozy genre is normally an adult version of some games, that way we go in the
direction of adult women and the things they like

23-28 is also a life phase where people normally have a job and when going home want to play a
relaxing game, that makes them feel comfortable and not stressed.

And that is our main goal, to make the people that play our game confortable, and forget about life problems to enjoy a cute and chill game.
