Employee Simulator is going to change... a lot !


I'm back !

Over the past few months, the development was slowed down, and sometimes even stopped, due to personal stuff (new job and so on).
But I'm back, and a lot of changes are coming !

Why a lot of changes ?

Even slowed, I continued to develop the game, but there were things I started to dislike :
- The stories weren't enough interesting imo and so were the dialogs. I spent 90% of my time implementing the stories and 10% the gameplay.
- The gameplay was not enough interesting neither as I wasn't focusing on it.
- The code was starting to become a very huge mess, because I wanted to finish the second job asap.
- A lot of things were left to add : gameplay for the second job, AI, implementing new models, fixing the bugs and fixing the first job as I did a lot of breaking changes.
- I think after a few days players would become bored of the game because : the maps were small, the objectives were simple and linear, gameplay was repetitive.

So what are the changes ?

So... I'm working on the new version of Employee Simulator, screenshots are coming soon.
Here are the changes :
- One bigger map instead of several small maps.
- New gameplay features : Bills to pay, negocy your salary before working, pass or fail job interviews, you can be fired or have an augmentation and so on.
- 3 main jobs

  • Cook in a restaurant

  • Work in a shop

  • Work in a bakery

- 1 secondary job

  • Ghost hunter

- Open-world game, it means you can do what you want : start and quit a job when you want.
- New story : you are unemployed, you don't have money to pay your bills. Try to find the perfect job, earn money and buy a house !
- No more linear dialogs and story, the story and the dialogs will change as your character evolves and with the choice you make.
- Probably forgot things...

A bunch of screenshots from my upcoming demo, available on Steam by the end of the month! (see The Mangotronics Employment Collection)

After weeks of work, bug fixes and a ton of optimizations, I finally have a bug-free (afaik) game with an extended map and improved gameplay. New places like a shop, a bank or houses have been added to improve the gameplay, story, and the difficulty.

Finally! My bots can make burgers (customisable)! I have now a complete ai-driven autonomous restaurant with, for now, 4 bots. That was without a doubt the hardest part. Next : the customers, because, you know, they have to sell them to someone!

Valentineā€™s Day is coming soon! @OperaGX is celebrating by dropping the Valentineā€™s-inspired game Maximum Load. Step into the wardrobe and guide PC Man through a satisfying install. šŸ„µ Play #MaximumLoad here: https://operagx.gg/gj_post

The first scenario of my game is available for download! Do your first job as a Job at Risk employee, and learn how to make some burgers!

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 11 celebrates @Asthon_ES ! They're an Indie studio recently created to produce their own games including Magic Frog! We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: How do you usually plan a game dev project?

AIs are working and are fully autonomous to complete orders from customers ! One is doing french fries, the other is doing ice cream.

Quick update : 3 fully functional AIs that can make ice cream, drinks and fries, from A to Z. I had to rewrote a lot of codes so I decided to build something on top of Unity : the NxEngine. The next AI will have to cook burger!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Drink feature WIP ! The kitchen is almost fully working. Can't wait to work on AI, it'll be fun to code. The game's page will be updated in a few minutes too to match the current game's state. Available to wishlist on Steam!
