Ahoy, sailors!
Welcome to yet another Cruise Ship Manager devlog. Firstly, we would like to announce that official Steam Playtests for this game are coming soon! Keep a close eye on our announcements so you don't miss the opportunity to sign up for a playtest of an early version of Cruise Ship Manager!
Today, we want to talk a little more in-depth about the build mode in our game. Any respectable shipowner should ensure that the comfort and satisfaction of their passengers are prioritized. A well-functioning restaurant serving delicious food, or a nightclub where passengers can party until dawn, are both essential on any cruise ship. Not to mention the cabins for the passengers and the crew! All this, and more, is available through the build mode.
In the build mode, you can purchase rooms, place them, modify their colors, or choose from a few decor swatches. If the need arises, you can also sell the rooms that are no longer needed. However, you must be careful, as there is limited cash and space available to you while building.
The size of our vessel can also affect the types of rooms which are available for construction. A smaller ship will not be able to carry a whole waterpark, but a nightclub will fit in effortlessly, giving the passengers an entertaining pastime. Passengers have different needs: some might want to have a drink at the bar, while others need a delicious meal at a good restaurant. In order to satisfy those needs, you need special rooms, like the aforementioned nightclub, restaurant, or casino.
The rooms do not work in isolation, of course. The right number of crew cabins correlates to the number of qualified workers that we can hire. Good workers are essential to the proper functioning of service and entertainment venues on the ship. Each room requires regular maintenance, like cleaning or equipment repairs. For this, you have well-trained crewmembers who will quickly deal with any problem. We will write more about assigning workers to rooms and tasks in future devlogs.
Tell us what else you want to know about our game! We invite you to visit our Discord server where we hang out and answer questions.
