Yes, technically this game is an Isekai.

“Which spices go with which foods” lists are of limited value to me because, like, I have functioning taste buds. What I really need is a “spices that need to be added at the start of the cooking time in order to properly develop versus spices that need to be added in the last five minutes because extended heating fucks up the flavour profile” list – that shit is not intuitive.

Note: Don't be surprised that the choicescript version of Ballad and Curious Cuisine got updated on Dashingdon. It's to let people know the games are moving to Twine, but that the old choicescript versions will stay up.

Character Bio: FreezeFrame
Let’s start with FreezeFrame:
Name : Gabriel Mendoza
Codename : FreezeFrame
Gender : male (trans)
Age : 33
DoB : February 18
Race : Latino (Puerto Rican)
Hair : Black
Eyes : Green/Brown
Height : 5’6
Costume : Black bodysuit with purple piping and highlights, purple domino mask, boots with purple laces
FreezeFrame is a skilled chrono- and cryokinetic, and rather foul-mouthed. He takes great pride in being a ���villain’ even though many that know him would disagree that he is one. He tends to do the ‘right/good’ thing a little ‘too often’, and his villainous efforts are a little… not all villainous. He *hates* when people think of him as a hero, left alone claim that he has the heart in the right place. (Truth be told, he’s still flattered when he thinks no one’s looking) He is a quick thinker, capable of assessing situations at first or second glance.
Unfortunately he’s even quicker at acting, often jumping into the fray before the first glance reached his brain. He can be a bit unorganized, sometimes forgetting his powers in the heat of the moment.
He has ongoing rivalry going with MetaMorphia, which over the years developed into a consensual, mutual hateship.

Another similarity to the other game, coming to CuCu with the updated version:
In the Bonus Story, you can only romance MetaMorphia and FreezeFrame together in a polycule. These two thrive on their rivalry, you can't just separate them like that D=
(There's a CharacterSheet for FreezeFrame on the blog:
Need to get around making one for MetaMorphia at some point.)

I love that the lightmode background isn't harsh white, a lavender is so nice!!!
:) Now to find a good dark mode colour, though

Quick heads up:
I will probably release the first two chapters of act 1 in the twine version once they are done instead of waiting to have everything ported, because the later chapters have even more of a rewrite going on. And I really want to have the game back out there all new and polished <3

Thoughts on the new design for the passages?
Also which font is better for the chapter subtitles?
Is the font OK like that (I'll likely switch this one to plain Times New Roman or Courier, as I think this one is quite small)

For those that have played my other game 'The Ballad of Devil's Creek', you know how the game has you set a few things about your character before the story starts:
Height, Hair. whether you drink alcohol or not.
Now, right now, in the new version of CuCu I'm gonna have that too, and I'd like your input for what to potentially set for your parent and kid MCs.
Right now I got:
Height
Hairstyle/Texture
Glasses
All the little things set there are bits and bobs that come into play down the line for flavor/immersion text. I'm putting them before the story because I find that setting these in-story tends to get a bit clunky. ymmv of course.
So, thoughts? Toying with letting the reader set their MC's diet here too.

Yes, the above counts for this game too :3
(I am sorta on track for publishing the twine version of CuCu by hopefully October? Maybe mid-september if things go decent. Stay tuned, you'll be back in CoCi in no time <3 )
Guess what we have now...
That's right, we put the Patreon to Live
Here's one promise:
Nothing posted there will be locked exclusively behind a paywall. It will appear there a little earlier, but the only thing you'd 'miss out' are the fancy discord roles? (And the closed beta once the game reaches its final chapters, but that had always been planned to be closed, and isn't completely tied to patreon either, more to being someone I can trust)
But still, every bit helps. <3
Also, in much nicer news: Almost done porting ch6 to sugarcube, which means the overhauled version (albeit without any new chapters yet) will go up on itch soon.

talking about name shenanigans over in 'Ballad of Devil's Creek': Cucu will have the option to say that your name (and your kid's) is the short form. So, you can e.g. be called 'Mag' + plus a nickname, and tell the game that it's short for Margaret, so it'll appear like that in the stats and then some. Or have the kid be 'Polly' be nicknamed 'kiddo' and have the full name be Apollonia
