City of woods - Coffee shop - Devlog 01

Hi! I started this game 3 months ago and this is my second game, but first horror game. I want to start sharing weekly updates to get feedback and implement any ideas or improvements. For now, I want to get feedback on the look of the game, movement, lighting, objects. I'm not looking for perfection, just want to have fun creating it and make sure people enjoy it when is published.

The game is about this guy moving from the city to the woods, and starting his own cozy coffee shop.

Here's a 40 second clip of how the game starts. I will create an intro with more context before the player spawns here.

I think you've done quite a nice job with what can be seen here. I was actually listening to some ambient rain while watching your clip, and when I turned it off, it felt a bit like something was missing from the ambience, like a tonal cue was missing. The sfx are quite nice though, I think you've matched those quite well to the point where they compliment each other. 

Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Thank you! After the first customer gets a coffee it starts raining and it will stay like that for the rest of the game. I will record another video showing that part. I think the sound of rain is nice.

Added the rain trigger (indoor and outdoor) and a simple broom mechanic to clean.

  • The rain triggers after the first customer is served.
    • It takes 30 seconds  to change the skybox and the particles to trigger. Is 30 seconds too long?
    • It will stay raining for the remainder of the game.
  • Broom takes 5 seconds to clean. The player will have to hold the right click and press G to drop.

Hello, brickbones!

My name is Kirill Shadrin. I am a blogger, gamer, letsplayer, and music author.

The gaming industry is getting wider and wider these days. The games are played all over the world, in a huge number of countries from all over the world.  I noticed that your future game does not have a Russian translation, so I would like to translate your game into Russian! Are you interested in it?

My native language is Russian. I know all its aspects and sides. I have been studying English for 10 years. I have been studying and studying at one of the best foreign language schools in my country for two years now. I have a B2 (Upper-Intermediate) English language proficiency level in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and I am moving towards C1. In 2026, I successfully passed the IGCSE:

● Reading - 91% / 100%

● Listening - 78% / 100 %

● Writing - 93% / 100 %

● Speaking - 89% / 100%

The overall IGCSE writing score is 8

The overall score on the oral part of IGCSE is 8

The total percentage of IGCSE writing is 87

All the results are set in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages- CEFR. 

In 2026, I passed the English language (written and oral part)  as an additional subject in Russian State Exam.

Also, I have  communicated with speakers from several countries, including the USA and Cameroon.

Do you want me to translate your future game from English into Russian? Send me all the text from your game (in notepad, Google Sheets,other text sources or just here), and eventually I'll send you the same thing in Russian!

I approach my work very responsibly and seriously. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them to me! I will try to answer them and make the translation of your beautiful game the best! Let your game reach a new level!

The translations are free, but if you want to rate my work and support me, you can make a donation.: donationalerts.com/r/kirill_shadrin
