DEVLOG #13 Snack Time!
Hungry greetings, my good Begoners!
Soon you’ll all have your own tricks and tactics for taking on the creeps, crawlies, haunts, and government goons that’ve infested the peaceful town of Pennybrook. But if there’s one thing I’m sure we’ll ALL agree on, it’s that you Never fight BEASTS on an empty belly!
Yes, our feisty little warriors will get to enjoy quite the spread, thanks to Ate’s Lola, who’s there and happy to provide. Everything from Burgers to Bubblegum is on the menu in her overstocked kitchen above the Clubhouse!
Before each mission, you and your team will open up your snack packs and choose snacks to power your next adventure. Different snacks give different benefits, so it’s a way to strategize and build for the conditions you’re set to encounter.
Each Begoner’s selection includes the snacks they’ve discovered through playing, but you’ll also be able to trade or gift snacks to friends who don’t much like any of their own options–thinking of the bologna-sandwich-kid in fifth grade whose lunch always went straight in the trash.
Over time, you’ll build up a bigger appetite, and as you gain the capacity to eat more snacks, you’ll be made that much more powerful. You’ll notice some intriguing combinations, and maybe even some synergies!
Below are some of the snacks that have become legendary among the children of Pennybrook. Whispers of their deliciousness (and unconventional ingredients) have spread to every numbered seat, in every corner of every classroom!
First off, we’ve got Benny’s favorite, the LAST STANDWICH!! This’s an absolutely stacked triple decker, topped with a halo of radiant raw onion. Rumors say the onion is so fresh and light that it doesn’t even touch the bread! Scarfing this thing down will surely give you the courage to stand up again, when all other sandwiches fail you.
Next is Ate’s favorite pre-softball snack, Lola’s scowling BRUTE TART!! This fearsome fruit-topped fellow makes for a sweet and refreshing nibble, especially when you’re about to go out clobbering!
Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day, but not everyone wakes up in time to eat it! That’s why Lola’s BREAK-FAST BAR is a popular pack-along, chock-full of oaty, nutty nutrients, and baked with handy grips to help a girl hold on while she’s sprinting for the bus! (Only problem is, these things are hard enough to crack a tooth!)
Of course, we can’t let you go without mentioning Lola’s famous E-M-TEA!! I saw Deacon bring one of these for Camila, and I swear her eyes turned into strawberries! It might surprise you to learn Lola makes these pearls by hand–though lately she’s been letting Ate’s enthusiastic little sister help out. Just a few sips will fill you with benevolence for the world, and the magnanimity to treat even your worst friends kindly…
This is just an early sampling; Lola has many more sacred recipes scribbled in the margins of her cookbooks, so stay tuned for more!
Deliciously Yours,
-The Tandemi Treatsters
And as always, deep breath… AAAAAAAA AAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAHHH!!!!
