Day of the Sandwich
I made this in 15 days at the start of 2024. It's a tiny game about making a sandwich.
I hope you like it.
| About Day of the Sandwich |
It's a pleasant night. Delphine is fast asleep resting for tomorrows adventures. Her dreams are filled with a glorious bacon sandwich. Delphine, not one to ignore portents and omens is determined to recreate that bacon sandwich before leaving on her adventures. Help Delphine find a way to solve the many issues and finally make the ultimate bacon sandwich in Day of the Sandwich. A game by @FractalMindMike Classic pixel art graphics and real Roland MT-32 music recordings are used to lend an authentic retro vibe to the game. |
Day of the Sandwich is heavily inspired by the visuals of Lucas Arts classics like Day of the Tentacle. The making of the game was recorded in almost all it's detail as the process was live streamed. With 14 episodes filled with tens of hours (50+) of game development content.
From technical decision making and programming to full art processes and production pipelines. The entire process of "how to make a game" is covered right up until the publication here on Itch.
All these hours of content will be freely available on Twitch and YouTube and the game is provided free. If you feel that these many hours of resources and this tiny game are worthwhile, I'd love it if you'd consider donating for this project.
YouTube playlist coming soon!

Thanks to beeanyew for creating some fonts that I was able to use to improve the look of the game.
Huge thank you to@doctorcdcs for being the first play tester of the game (live on twitch, no less).
Also, huge thanks to@refractionpcsx2 for helping identify the newest bugs with the released version.
No cats were drugged in the making of Day of the Sandwich

Very nice game! Funny story, great DOTT style graphics and while the puzzles weren't exactly hard, they were well thought out and fun to solve.
Why not also add it to the AGS main database? (No new upload, simply link it to this page.)https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/add/
Thanks for this suggestion. I finally got around to adding it!https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2756-day-of-the-sandwich/
I didn't really know this was a thing. Hahaha!
Writing from France... si excuse my english!
I've enjoyed the game 'cause i'm quite old (46) and i've grown up with the Lucas games! Monkey Island, day of the tentacle, Indiana Jones and the last crusade, Loom... So your game has the same spirit!
Esthetically it's really well made, and it deserves to be discoverd
And on top of that, i'm a programmer... so i admire devs making of their own a full game experience (code, graphisms, musics...)
Really great!
Watched the final stream live - you put a lot of work into it.
Thanks for the fun little game and a Real Coffee experience.
If anyone was looking the default Save Game (F5) location, it is %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DotS
Great to see the game already on IGDB and HowLongToBeat (Handy for Playnite integration)
Yeah, neither did I until I was figuring out other build settings I was having trouble with. It can target Android, Linux, Web, and Windows. Was pretty cool to see it just work like that. I did encounter some issues with it that I haven't figured out how to fix. But at least the download version works pretty well.
Even though I basically watched the whole thing being made on stream, it was nice to finally play it. And it's quite a fun little game! Well done on putting it out there. It's motivated me to go back to AGS and finish my own game (that I've been procrastinating over for years). The background art is great, and so many references. Love it.
Congrats on the release, an excellent mini-adventure! I was most impressed by the art, it perfectly hits the nostalgia itch combined with humor and many many references. The premise of things going wrong worked very well and I chuckled every time the game said "not so fast". Had this been submitted to a game jam, it would definitely score very high. It's astounding everything was done just by yourself (+chat) and this quickly, please keep going!
So, I need to get a gas hose from the BBQ. I was guessing that the BBQ itself was outside, so I clicked the door. However, Delphine refused to go outside because she needed to drink coffee first. I made the coffee, but then she suggested that she prefers to add milk. I tried to add milk, but then she said that it needed to be steamed first. To steam the milk, I need to use the stove. But to use the stove, I need a gas hose from the BBQ...
EDIT: Turns out that I need to use the coffee machine. I amkinda dumb.
hey i played your game and really liked it. the art is great. i am sorry i missed your streams. did you make all the art on stream? also congrats on the following. how long have you been streaming for? i am a new and very small youtuber making yt vids about itch games like this one
would you be interested in having your game reviewed in my next video? i would probably rank ur game in the top 10 of all the games i have played but need to play it more to be sure. lmk what u think about all thisThanks for the kind words! I did make all the art on stream. I've updated the description with a link to the VODs on twitch.
I started streaming a bit over 3 years ago on my main channel. I just started the development channel this year, so ~15 days ago.
I'd be delighted if you'd review the game, yes! I hope you enjoy the game, I've also updated it with a few bug fixes.
amazing! i will take some game play footage right now for the review. i will also try to dig up my old twitch account. i got locked out 3 years ago and have been mostly watching content on youtube but i would like to follow you on twitch to support your efforts! do you have any advice for content creators who are just starting out? i know consistency is huge and i need to be better about that.
A great piece of advice comes from "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" which basically boils down to "Focus most on what you can control and only a little on what you can influence. Spend as little time as possible worrying about what you can't control or influence." This is referred to as the Circle of Concern sometimes.
With that in mind, focussing on content creation - you can control what you produce. You can probably influence how people engage with it to a certain degree.
You can control your schedule, even though sometimes finding time is hard. Trying to make time is important.
And yeah, you nailed it. Consistency is pretty important. I haven't been able to arrange my schedule to fit decent YT production yet, so I'm still trying to crack that myself. Heheh. Hopefully this year I can find a way to put more time into YT.
Thank you so much. This is really thoughtful advice. I donated $1 to support the project wish it could be more but i am only working part time to pay bills. I watched some of the VODs. I had no idea AGS Editor even existed. I use unity. I could not figure out what programming language you were using but it looked similar to c#/java a bit. The art really impresses me. You poured in so many hours into it!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
I have recorded some gameplay footage but i worry its not late game enough. i am currently stuck looking for eggs. my first set of eggs cracked open and were stinky. i tried to go to the forest to look for more eggs from wild birds but i cant go to the forest right now. if you want me to highlight later game play i will need a hint of how to progress.
