Hello! This update took long, but I believe it is worth it. To move faster, I need some brave people to join the beta/playtest branch. If you are interested, just let me know and I can share a key.
Updates:
I should start with sounds:
Added countless SFX
2 different voice type added for different customer types
Added sliders to adjust separately (actually I am not sure regarding general settings yet, can add anything you request)
Neighbor added:
Interaction when try to leave apartment
Police attention impact
Improvements:
Now demo starts with 8 customers instead of 3 for speeding up the progress
Food interaction feedback
Trash has weight now, so different types fill different amounts
Customer loyalty is now shown more reasonably on their profile pages
Cop rules are randomized every run
After bail out is not changed and still randomized as well
Police attention UI step and reason system
The feedbacks are not finished yet but smell potency is now considered
After bailing out, plants die
Saw people trying to dry tomatoes while they are inside the basket, it works for now, but in the future probably will break the dishwasher
Again, dishwasher now considers the amount of tomatoes inside and their types while adjusting drying time
Customer recommendation system
Bug Fixes
Undercover cops' rules and patterns
Even though their rule is stating they bargain, they sometimes did not, fixed
Same with questions
When bulk buying, they buy more
Lots of code refactored, tried to improve whatever I see
Soon I will try to design a nice visual for the roadmap, but just for letting you know, currently I am focused on visual improvements, especially lighting, apartment and hand painting object textures, while trying to improve core gameplay in the demo. UI design is next.
As mentioned, join the Discord or reach me from somewhere else if you are interested in checking improvements early on playtest branch. Also, I am always open to feedback and discussions, actually love them.
