Question 1:
In Papa’s Hot Doggeria, why are all the people playing on electronics? |

Answer 1:
Believe it or not, when we were working on Papa’s Pizzeria back in 2007, smartphones really didn’t exist yet! Nowadays it’s common to see people passing the time on their phones while they’re waiting to pick up food, so when we decided to update the customer animations and reactions in Papa’s Hot Doggeria, it seemed like it was time to bring everyone into the modern age with some brand-new smartphones. Sometimes you’ll also see them playing on their handheld game systems for some variety. |

Answer 2:
Matt: That’s a tough one, but I think I’d like to make a trip to Papa’s Wingeria. We usually make our customer selves order what we like, so I’d get the buffalo strips and atomic wings, and Starlight City just seems like a fun place to be.
Tony: I would have to say Papa’s Freezeria! It’s one of the few restaurants in which everyones order sound delicious. I’ve started trying a few and found Sue’s to be my new favorite, Mint Cookie Dough! Plus Calypso Island is the place to be (when it’s not tourist season). |

Question 3:
What do the Themes in Papa’s Hot Doggeria stand for? |

Answer 3:
We put all of the furniture into groups with similar-looking items for Papa’s Hot Doggeria, and gave each a Theme icon so you could tell they were related. We tried to label each Theme with the letter of the game that they’re related to, but sometimes we had to pick a different letter (couldn’t use “P” for both Pancakeria and Pizzeria). Here’s a cheat sheet of what each letter stands for:
H: Hot Doggeria
M: Maple Mountain (Pancakeria)
W: Wingeria
F: Freezeria
T: Taco Mia
B: Burgeria
P: Pizzeria
L: Louie (Papa Louie)
O: Onion or the O in Foodini

Question 1:
Why are weapons in Jacksmith built the way they are? Bows don’t have hinges! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Answer 1:
We took some liberties with weapon crafting in Jacksmith to make things more interesting and to get some fun moments of gameplay, so the steps you use aren’t quite how you would actually build those weapons in real life! We did a lot of research on how to make all of the weapons in the game, but some things we twisted or removed for the sake of gameplay, and others things we invented, like hinged metal bows (so we could still use the forge for crafting bows). |

Question 2:
Gold is soft, why would you make weapons out of it in Jacksmith? |

Answer 2:
We took some liberties here too! For the strength of different metals, we kept some things basically correct — bronze really is stronger than copper, and steel is stronger than plain iron — but for the top-tier metals we decided to go with elements that looked strong even though they’re not. A crystal axe would be terrible in battle, but it sure does look epic! |

Question 3:
Did you have any other ideas for animal warriors before you finalized the current lineup? |

Answer 3:
We had a handful of ideas for who the warriors and the blacksmith could be before we settled on our current group. We first decided to go with animal characters instead of regular people like in Papa’s Gamerias, and came up with different groups of animals that would work well. One of our first ideas was to use tiny animals like mice, where everything in the game would be a much smaller scale. Since we were crafting regular-sized weapons that people would use though, we decided to go with larger barnyard animals. We also considered a duck and a horse as some of the warrior animals, but our weapons seemed to fit the other animals better.
