Chocolatier: Decadence By Design[]
Decadence by Design saw a strong increase in the number of ingredients, compared to the second game. The concept of seasonal ingredients still remains, but the game doesn't inform the player if the ingredient is in season or not.
The concept of secret ingredients sort of remained, but it was trimmed down intensively. Some of the secret ingredients from the previous game (currants, saffron, lavender honey, anise, black tea, and clove) have become regular ingredients. Still, some ingredients can only be bought from ports not shown on the map until it is opened for the player, much like secret ports were in the second game.
Those ingredients now include:
- Wild limes (Uluru)
- Dates (Gobi Desert)
- Honduran cacao (Xunantunich)
The number off coffeebeans has increased. The 'common' coffee bean was replaced with specialty coffee beans from different ports.
- Kona coffee (Kona)
- Cuban coffee (Havana)
- Colombian coffee (Bogota)
- Moroccan coffee (Tangiers)
- Balinese coffee (Bali)
Further more, Decadence by Design introduced the espresso bean. This ingredient is available in a couple of locations, but these aren't limited to the locations around the equator.
