Question 1:
Why do you skip some Papa’s Gamerias when you’re making apps? |

Answer 1:
We didn’t really plan to go in order when making apps of the Gamerias. We started with Papa’s Burgeria since it had simpler mechanics and we thought flipping burgers and stacking toppings would be fun with a touch screen, and we did Papa’s Freezeria next because the ingredients were so different from everything seen in Papa’s Burgeria, and it’s always been a fan favorite. We knew the gameplay in Papa’s Wingeria would work great on a touch screen, so we decided to work on that one next. That doesn’t mean we’re giving up on the games in-between though. We’d love to go back and make apps of the other games we skipped in the future! |

Question 2:
Besides the Gameria series, what was the hardest game to make? |

Answer 2:
Our MMO platformer Remnants of Skystone was definitely the hardest to make, but of the other games, Jacksmith was probably the most difficult to develop. In Gamerias, each meal in a game is basically built the same way (steak tacos aren’t too different from chicken tacos), but with Jacksmith we had six different crafting processes where each weapon was created differently. We were also trying to combine game genres in a new way, which always takes some time to get right. On top of that, we added tons of content to the game with dozens of enemy types, lots of elemental variations, and hundreds of weapon parts. We worked off and on for nearly a year on Jacksmith, which is much longer than we usually take!

Question 3:
Why are there Gummy Worms in Papa Louie 2? All of the other creatures are burger-related or savory foods. |

Answer 3:
As you might have guessed, Gummy Worms are not native to Mount Monterey. Professor Fitz believes they originate from the far reaches of Munchmore in an area that he calls the Gummy Grotto, though no one has traveled that far to find out if it’s true. Gummy Worms are a favorite of the Lettuce Larks, and it seems they’ve flown to the worms’ far-off habitat and brought some back to the cheesy mountain.

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. |

If you could go to a Papa Louie restaurant in real life, which one would you go to? |

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
