Today I have more tasty treats for you on the forthcoming Herb & Fable game from Jinx.
As I mentioned in my previous post about the game, my next task as an Alpha Tester,was to make a cake. So here goes…
(Remember these dialogs are from a product in the Alpha stage of development and may be quite different by the time you get to play. Also as before I am posting these preview images with explicit permission from the creator Julala Fairelander.)
Task: Nettle & Lemon Cake
This was quite a task, because it required multiple steps:
- Growing & Harvesting Nettles (30 mins)
- Grinding Almonds (10 mins)
- Juicing Lemons (10 mins)
- Mixing with the other ingredients (10 mins)
- Baking (30 mins)
Grinding Almonds and in the back, the juicer is working on my Lemons
The Cake Ingredients
Mixing the ingredients
Once mixed it’s over to the Oven
Once the cake is baked you’ll then receive your inworld cake and get a link to a recipe to make the real life cake.
But you can’t have cake without a cuppa!
So Julula has introduced a recipe for nettle tea.
Task: Nettle Tea
The magic of tea is a great thing, but getting it can take a bit of work:
- Grow and harvest more nettles (30 mins)
- Dry the leaves (3 hours)
- Brew tea in a teapot (6 mins)
When the nettles are dry, time to make the tea:
Fortunately, like when plants are growing, you don’t have to wait around for your nettle leaves to dry. You can log out and they’ll keep going and be waiting for you when you log back in. This is just as well because as you can see I’ve got tea for two here and so had to go through all the steps twice so you got a nice photo.
However I should warn you that if you are logged in and go AFK and they finish, you won’t get your product. I discovered this the hard way and lost a load of ingredients because my avatar rejected the items being offered.
Both drinking the tea and eating the cake restore your health stats and contain multiple servings (you would hope so with the size of the cake!).
Next time I’ll be having some fun with the 3rd Party Developer scripts as well as the Storage Crates and Vendors. These sripts will allow people to make produce for Herb & Fable and the crates and vendors allow trading and selling of items.
