Diced

About

Diced was a competitive pizza-making simulator game, where given a recipe players compete to produce the best dish. What determines the best dish? Time, use of all ingredients, dough ratio, special ingredients, secret formulas, perfect cooking, etc.

I was the programmer on a team of two for the development of this game.
