Out and About Preview Details Cooking Minigames and Tutorial Reworks
Yaldi Games shared a development update for Out and About, detailing upcoming 3D cooking minigames, inventory sorting upgrades, and early-game quest revisions.
Yaldi Games outlined upcoming features for Out and About, detailing new 3D minigames for cooking and sorting alongside a structural overhaul of the early game.
Upcoming Cooking Minigames
Development is underway on interactive 3D cooking stations spanning cooking, baking, herbalism, and prep tasks. Recipes require players to execute chronological steps, like picking ingredients and using chopping boards. Once a recipe is completed for the first time, players can use a quick mode featuring the current cooking animation.
Sorting and Tutorial Updates
The inventory sorting minigame is receiving bespoke 3D assets for each plant to improve visual quality. Meanwhile, the story and quest team is restructuring the first four days of the game to remove tedious fetch quests and improve early pacing while keeping the underlying story intact.
Photo Quests
A new quest type centered on photography is in development. These quests require players to frame specific objects correctly within the camera lens.
Why this patch matters
The introduction of structured cooking minigames and cleaned-up early quests aims to give Out and About a more engaging loop for its 1.0 launch.
