Startup Idea: A startup idea could be a game development tool or platform specifically focused on creating engaging and immersive gameplay mechanics for indie game developers. This tool could provide templates, assets, and guidance on incorporating unique gameplay elements such as combining fighting and cooking, time-sensitive survivor mechanics, and dynamic monster zones.

Pain point: People are facing a lack of depth and engaging gameplay in the concept of a chef in a post-apocalyptic world feeding survivors with mutant monster parts. The current game lacks a proper cooking mechanic, evolving gameplay mechanics, and a sense of urgency and strategy.
