Demo - Third Patch

major update

Tomato Dealer · published

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.
