Pumpkin Workshop

Project intro

Pumpkin Workshop is a cozy 3D pumpkin-carving game set on the evening of a Lantern Festival. You take Old Bento's candlelit workbench and turn each customer's request into a glowing jack-o'-lantern before midnight: follow the pattern with the knife, close an outline and the loose piece drops onto the bench revealing the warm light inside, scrape layers with the spoon, sketch guides with the marker, and rotate the pumpkin to reach designs around the sides and back. Six handcrafted orders range from a classic grin to whiskers, fangs, a pirate's skull, a moonlit design, and Granny Brigid's stubborn rutabaga — the jam's second theme — which needs shallow knife scoring and deeper spoon work while keeping its crooked teeth intact. Customers inspect your lantern and react, you earn up to three stars per order for shape, clean cuts, preserved details and time, and you can save a photo card of each finished lantern. Relaxed mode removes the timer, and one complete festival night ends with one of three artisan titles. It was made for Ultimate AI-Powered Game Jam #5, where it ranked #1 for Theme Fidelity & Creativity (4.364), #5 for Overall Enjoyment (3.818) and #7 for Production Velocity (3.636) from 11 ratings.
