Inspired by our love for our pets and nostalgic experiences with cooking games, our team decided to blend the two together into a fast-paced, two player co-op cooking game. For a team majorly comprised of people who haven’t worked on a solo game project before, our goal was definitely ambitious, but the response we received from our fellow participants and judges was overwhelmingly positive.

To capture a nostalgic, cozy feeling, my co-lead artist (Cristina Park) and I created a visual identity for Canine Cocina that’s distinctly warm, friendly, and charming.
