Hi. Here comes a random photo of tits to get your attention.
Mateusz asked me who Jerry's competition is and how to get rid of it. You don't know who, you don't know why, but you want to get rid of it. That's good, it's always one man less. A wise question that I accidentally know the answer to. I just don't know if I want to share it.
Well, the fact that I confirm the existence of competition is a spoiler. Booze Master is, after all, a role-playing game focused around a small community. Hope you won't be offended if I don't point the finger at a creature trying to jump on Jerry's bandwagon. However, I would like to take the opportunity to ask you kindly not to be passionate about the mechanics of the rivalry. The institution of competition is only a pretext to diversify the gameplay focused directly on Jerry, i.e. your ability to grow plants and produce alcohol under time pressure.
From a technical point of view, the emergence of competition means meeting customer wishes. And the those will be generated so that each game will be a little different. In fact, the existence of an intelligent rival who would manipulate the assortment and prices would require you to act similarly to what we ask you to act with our challenge. It will be based on watching the indicators of several dozen characters. If I have to make a comparison, The Sims come to mind. Remember what you're obliged to do to get a promotion? Several requirements must be met simultaneously. It works similarly for us. If we meet all the client's requirements, they leave the competition and change the object of interest. But as it happens with relationships, you have to keep taking care of them. If we cease to meet the client's requirements, they will cease to be a client.
Is it taking the easy way on our part? I doubt it, it's not that easy. It takes hundreds of hours of dealing with the fucking balance issues. Perhaps it would be even harder if we wrote artificial intelligence, and believe me, Yaroslav is able to create a terminator. We decided that this would be more consistent with the system that dominates in the game. Booze Master has a pretty arcade vibe. We run and click, keeping an eye on the watch. In such conditions, it is better to work with a transparent checklist than to interpret market charts.
