This month, we delve into the Kitchen Drama series, a collection of games that marked our early days in the slot industry and continues to inspire our creativity. These games, rich in history and innovation, not only defined our initial years but also continue to be a source of inspiration for our future developments. Get ready for a nostalgic journey through Kitchen Drama Sushi Mania and Kitchen Drama BBQ Frenzy, titles that marked a turning point in our gaming adventure!
An in-depth look at the slots Sushi Mania and BBQ Frenzy, two timeless classics from Nolimit City.
In 2017, Nolimit City launched Kitchen Drama Sushi Mania and BBQ Frenzy. This era marked a significant growth phase for our team, who had just moved into more spacious offices in Stockholm. These two games not only solidified our expertise in slot games but also laid the foundations of what makes Nolimit City a leader in gaming innovation. Every element of these games, from graphics to gameplay mechanics, was designed with meticulous attention to detail and a deep commitment to excellence.
The captivating story behind the online game Sushi Mania, an unforgettable culinary journey!
Per Lindheimer, a key team member, shares his memories:
"Sushi Mania began its development when I joined the company. We had improved the game’s mathematics to make it more appealing, but it remained relatively low in volatility. The maximum simulated win was about 700, which is modest compared to our current games. However, it was an exciting time as we explored new ideas and concepts."
Sushi Mania stands out with its innovative features and attractive graphics. Instead of the standard terms Big Win or Epic Win, we opted for unique and fun exclamations such as oh, lala and mon dieux. An Easter egg hidden in the Waillon Mayo symbol, a tribute to our mathematician Wai Le, adds a personal and playful touch. This attention to detail and desire to stand out laid the foundation for our game design philosophy.
The impact and lessons learned from the slot Kitchen Drama BBQ Frenzy, a savory and intense adventure!
BBQ Frenzy, released a few months after Sushi Mania, aimed to offer a more volatile gaming experience. Despite its design focused on free spins, it didn’t achieve the same success as Sushi Mania.
Per Lindheimer shares:
"BBQ Frenzy isn’t my favorite, although I love barbecuing. This game didn’t have the expected impact, but it taught us a lot about player preferences and the importance of continuous innovation."
The creative behind-the-scenes of the Kitchen Drama series, an exciting exploration!
Waillon Le (Wai) tells us about the beginnings of this adventure:
"The Kitchen Drama series was created at a time when low variance games were popular. We were still working in a small apartment turned office. The inspiration for Sushi Mania came from our love of sushi, particularly from a restaurant called Red Ninja. The mobile game Fruit Ninja, with its colorful aesthetic and slicing mechanics, also influenced the series.
For BBQ Frenzy, a different game mechanic was imagined, except for the triggering of free spins. I would say BBQ is our first ‘western’ game, with cowboys and Indians. The biggest discussion was about integrating an armadillo, an idea that hasn’t yet seen the light of day but might emerge in our future games. These discussions and experiments were crucial for our growth and understanding of what works best in our games."
Some fun facts and anecdotes about the Kitchen Drama series:
• The Easter egg in Sushi Mania, Waillon Mayo, is a nod to our mathematician Wai Le, adding a playful dimension to the game.
• Sushi Mania introduced big wins with unique names like Oh, lala, Mon Dieux, and Sacre Bleu, creating a memorable and distinctive gaming experience.
