L0 My Inspiration

An interactive project involving a creative bent that I find inspirational is Cooking Mama, specifically the version played on the Nintendo DS.

I admire Cooking Mama because it is an interactive game in which the player must skillfully time and perform tasks to Mama’s standards. The game is challenging, entertaining, and even vaguely informative of cooking skills.
Cooking Mama was developed by Office Create and published by Taito, Majesco Entertainment, and 505 Games. There isn’t much detail about the software, but this game was pretty groundbreaking because of the new touch screen technology on the Nintendo DS.

While there are many known sequels to the game, there are no publicly known prior works in which the developers could have been inspired by (other than different Nintendo DS games). Cooking Mama was a great success that many sequels were created, each having a different theme or challenges.
