From Kitchen table to
Windows Desktop
Toast n Toppings started as what if making toast for breakfast could be a playful, interactive game?
The concept quickly grew into a game where players layer toast and toppings, unlocking fun combinations, making the unique breakfast toasts.
But building Toast n Toppings was about learning how to take a design idea from sketch to full development using AI-powered tools, rapid prototyping, and deployment on a public platform like itch.io games
The Illustration to Design to Development Process
The process was mapped into four key phases:
Concept & Ideation
Brainstormed game mechanics (toast selection, toppings selection)
Created early sketches and paper prototypes for quick testing.
Illustration and Game Design
Built UI mockups in Figma, focusing on colorful yet simple elements.
Designed character, toast, toppings and game elements using Aesprite and Figma for pixel art style
AI-Assisted Development
Used ChatGPT and Claude AI to generate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript codes for the initial game loop, and UI interactions.
Refined logic and visuals iteratively, debugging and optimizing with AI support.
Leveraged Claude AI for structuring documentation and in-game rules clearly.
From Web to Desktop
Packaged the game as a Windows desktop app using Electron, making it downloadable for offline play.
Published the game on Itch.io, allowing wider community access and feedback from indie players.
