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)

It'd be important to determine which items are used (but not locked, you can still use them) by AIs to avoid disturbing them during their job!

I'm not progressing as far as I wish, but at least things are going well : I've been reworking the gameplay which was imo, too simple. And a ton of bug fixes. I have a lot of idea that I want to implement, but here are some screenshots.

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

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.

BIG NEWS: Your Bandit can wear a Game Jolt hat and shirt in Bandit Trap!

Defend your home or steal treasure in the open beta: https://bit.ly/BanditTrapBeta

It ends on March 23rd at 6 am CET!

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

Some new 3D models, new AI with a modulator system, new textures using AI (stable diffusion), and some improvements gameplay-wise. Starting to add new things like trash bin and knives.

DID YOU KNOW: Moonlight Peaks is a heartwarming supernatural life-sim where you can raise mystical crops, learn spell-casting & potion-making, and befriend (or even romance) the local werewolves, witches, & mermaids!

Try the demo!: http://bit.ly/MoonlightPeaks

I'm happy to say that the demo of my game is out. You can download it from my page! Do not hesitate to say what you think of it. Playable in FR and EN. If you want to do a video, please tell me!
