Hi Cabin Crew!
After Devlog #1 received a lot of attention and plenty of questions about Cabin Crew Life Simulator, here's Devlog #2.
In this section, I'll dive deeper into the interior of the aircraft cabin, where over 70% of the game will take place, just as the name suggests.
Typically, the galley area is the main "office" for flight attendants, where you'll prepare food and drinks for passengers and relax here during the flight. Each type of aircraft has its own galley layout, and each airline customizes the galley's colors, materials, and setup according to its needs. However, there are some key components in every aircraft galley.
Oven and Heating Equipment
These are used to warm food, ensuring dishes reach their best flavor as if served on the ground. The oven must ensure unpressurized cooking to release excess steam, enhancing product reliability and ensuring crew safety.
- How will players interact with the oven and heating devices, in the game?
In Cabin Crew Life Simulator, we simplified the oven operation to make it more convenient for players: just press button to turn on the power, place the food inside, wait for the timer, and remove it at the right moment to avoid drying it out and irritating the customer.
Refrigerator and Freezer
These are used to store chilled food and beverages. In the DEMO version of the game, you'll see an ice tray that serves cold drink lovers during the flight. Many players have asked what this ice tray does? Actually, in the Early Access (EA) version, some passengers will request cold drinks. We're developing this ice tray to be as realistic as possible, where the ice will gradually melt and become unusable if not stored in the plane's cooler. If a passenger requests a cold drink and there's no ice available, the service rating system will give you a lower score for your service quality.
- Interesting, right?
Trash Compartment
A compartment for trash and waste, helping the cabin crew keep the galley and cabin tidy. In the DEMO version, you've probably used it many times, even to lock up the mischievous snake that appeared during the flight!
Coffee Maker and Kettle
These are used to prepare coffee, tea, and other hot drinks, essential equipment as many passengers often request hot beverages. You've also seen this equipment in the DEMO on Steam.
- How will the coffee maker and kettle be improved in the early access version?
This device will have different models across various aircraft types. Our 3D team has designed over 10 different models and selected the five most popular ones to include in the game. Each machine will have specific brewing and boiling times, and the kettle's temperature will gradually decrease over time, so you'll need to reheat it before serving passengers.
Storage Cabinets
Securely locked cabinets that store dining utensils, plates, glasses, and other items for passenger service. The design and materials of the cabinets vary by flight. On economy-class flights the cabinets are usually made of aluminum and steel.On luxury-class flights, you'll see added materials like stone and glass to create a more luxurious atmosphere.
The number of storage cabinets also varies by aircraft type; on large planes like the Airbus A380, you can have close to 50 storage cabinets.
Crew Storage Compartments
Additional cabinets and compartments are allocated for crew belongings, emergency equipment, and other essential supplies.
In larger and more luxurious aircraft, there will be even more equipment and spaces for you to operate and control to ensure top-notch customer service. Expect features like a fully stocked bar, crew sleeping quarters, or even meeting rooms and weapon storage on Air Force One... So many new things!
What's new ?
In the next section, we'll talk more about the technical aspects, including how lighting is arranged inside the aircraft.
