GIANT UPDATE
So... We have gotten a ton of work done now and we think we'll be able to release an, at the very least, playable build of the game at the deadline. The inventory and chest system has been completed and you are currently able to damage enemies and take damage. Our animations are now functional, which shouldn't matter to you since we never told you they were broken but they were, and now they're not. We've also made a HEAP of progress in the game, you can recieve dish requests, check what ingredients are required, gather the ingredients, deliver them and "cook" the dish.
Here are some gameplay previews:
