Cooking Mamala is a playful and interactive cooking game inspired by Kamala Harris’s love for the kitchen, blended with the nostalgic charm of the classic Cooking Mama game series. In this game, players prepare dishes based on Kamala’s favorite recipes, as shared on her YouTube channel, while engaging in lighthearted, step-by-step cooking challenges. It’s a fun and unique twist that brings together culinary skills, pop culture, and creative storytelling in a way that both entertains and celebrates Kamala’s passion for cooking.

To bring Cooking Mamala to life, I used Scratch from MIT as the platform to develop the game mechanics. Scratch’s visual coding environment made it easy to create interactive elements and ensure smooth gameplay for players, using visual nodes to make the game function. I illustrated the game’s assets using Procreate, crafting everything from the cooking utensils to the delicious dishes featured in the game. Each illustration was designed with attention to detail, ensuring the visuals would enhance the playful and inviting atmosphere of the game.

For the kitchen background and some base assets, I incorporated Midjourney to generate creative starting points, which I then adapted and enhanced to fit the game’s style. This combination of tools allowed me to seamlessly blend hand-drawn artwork with AI-generated elements, resulting in a cohesive, visually appealing world. By integrating various creative and technical resources, Cooking Mamala became a fun, dynamic experience that reflects my passion for reimagining cultural moments and creating immersive digital experiences.
