Food is the way to our hearts

The premise of this game was to explore my cultural roots in an interactive format. What better way to do that than through looking at my dinner table?​

​

Being mixed race and having grown up around many different cultures, I believe one of the best ways to represent myself and where I come from is by looking at the food I eat with my family. 

​

Family, food, and the particular combination of the two breeds a special place of intimacy in which we nourish our bellies, but also our need for shared culture and practices. 

​

Reflecting on my own identity, I believe my family has our own special culture that I share with no one else but them. 

​

The foods we eat are what some may consider an odd combination, but to me feel comforting and normal.

This game was coded in Java using the Processing IDE, and I created the game art as well using ClipStudio Pro.
