Hi! I hope you have enjoyed playing Cruise Quest ,my most recently released game!
These days, unfortunately, I have far less time than I used to—but I'm still pushing forward with the next game.
At first, I was torn between a few ideas: CCTV 3, an RPG set on a stranded island, a game set aboard a Soviet-era space cruise ship, and a diner management game. I decided to shelve CCTV 3 once again, as I don’t yet have enough fresh or compelling ideas to make it stand out against my previous titles. It'll have to wait until more inspiration strikes.
So initially, I began prototyping the survival game.
But over time, something kept pulling me toward the diner concept.
Mainly because I realized the survival game might lack the interpersonal and narrative depth I think is necessary for the next game. It would likely end up as a solid roguelike—but I’ve already explored that direction with Atomiquest. While creating a new spin on that formula has its appeal, it feels like too much effort for too little payoff at this point.
So, that brings us to the diner game:
Most of the core diner management and strategy mechanics are already in place. What’s still missing is the narrative layer. I have a rough sense of what I want to happen to Kate, the protagonist, but I’m still wide open to suggestions.
If you have any ideas or want to share your thoughts, feel free to jump in on Discord:
The diner game looks awesome! How about this: Kate has to pay the rent of the diner every 5 days, which can be postponed if Kate does some sexual favors to whoever is coming to collect. First time - hj, second time - bj, and third - full intercourse. The son gets to spy them doing it, adding some NTR and voyeurism to it. Also, try to add some "effort meter" to the son, so when they reach the goal to pay the rent, and the son has enough effort, kate will reward him with sexual release. And maybe add sister or aunt to the story. They don't have to be playable, but you can interact with them to get scenes during the shift. For instance: sister will be at the kitchen during noon, and aunt will be waiting for you after diner closes. Sorry for the bad english, and I hope I could be helpful.
