Cooking is a puzzle of chemistry and engineering course of, actually, the proper utility of thermal and kinetic vitality to the proper mixture of supplies within the right order. Fry ’em ups like Overcooked and Cook, Serve, Delicious channel that into chaotic time-management and now Automachef is approaching an industrial scale, having us assemble manufacturing strains to create meals en masse. Think extra alongside the strains of Infinifactory puzzling than Overcooked chaos. Have a peek in a brand new trailer coming alongside the announcement that Staff17 have picked it as much as publish.
Yeah, I would up for that.
However. Automachef does appear to lack the enjoyment and fascination of actual meals manufacturing strains, utilizing generic processes moderately than bespoke equipment. One of my favorite YouTube rabbit holes is industrial meals processing with equipment designed for particular meals.
I like the trail these crêpes take, their round form mirrored within the design of the machine, then the elegant flip:
The magical river of fats which creates donuts!
Pasta extrusion!
Machines to fold tortellini!
Machines to fold gyoza!
A spinning tunnel of crisps!
Yes, I lean very a lot in the direction of jerky movies with bizarre soundtracks from producers moderately the polished documentary type of TV exhibits like How It’s Made. It’s a particular YouTube rabbit gap. Don’t even get me began on industrial grinders…
I suppose my specific pursuits in automated meals meeting are a degree under the general-purpose foodfactories of Automachef. That’s fantastic. Sure I’d adore a game about designing machines to create particular meals (oh god would I!) however that’s not what Automachef is and that’s okay. Really, it’s.
Automachef is coming to Steam and the Humble Store this summer season, made by Hermes Interactive and revealed by Staff17.
