DM-JO'S PROFILE

Hello, I'm Jo and I have a story written that I'm trying to turn into a fully-fledged game. I have the writing done, made the tilesets and effects and have almost finished the character fullscreen designs but I have a major problem!

My story is based around cooking in a cafe to save your life from a mass-murderer (it makes a weird sense in-game, really) but I'm struggling with the cafe aspect.

I want to do the following:

Allow the character to select and combine ingredients to make meals (think I have that done in a really basic fashion)

Give the meal by carrying it to the right customer

Hire on helpful and not so helpful staff members

Have a system where-in the customers can be persuaded to go to a different part of the map when certain conditions are met

A suspicion system (I have the basics of this done, I think, but I struggle with so many customers on screen - I want each of them to have their own suspicion bar and for them to potentially affect each others' bar. I think I know the latter but I struggle with the former).


It's my most ambitious game to date and the first one I want to release - as much as I've learned with Ace and Unity it's still very complicated to me, so all help is appreciated!
