Endlich habe ich einen Cafe Simulator Manager gefunden, der wirklich gut ist, obwohl es noch im Early Access ist. Ich freue mich schon auf die zukünftigen Updates.
great
Decent enough for the early access version. A few improvements that would be nice are the ability to move objects in build mode, as well as be able to cook all menu items as a player not just have the NPCs making pizza, burgers, steak, etc
4 часа пролетели как один миг. Симулятор потрясающий! То, чего я всегда хотела. У меня есть опыт прохождения гонок в мафии, но этой машиной я управлять не могу)) Хотелось бы, чтобы в шкафы без дверей можно было складывать коробки. И чтобы официанты не убирали подносы в закрытые шкафы, это очень не удобно. Нравится, что просто так деньги не достаются, не каждый день можешь позволить себе расширение/стройку/новые аппараты.
Please add UKRAINIAN language, thank you! Все чудово. Не зважаючи на те, що гра тільки недавно почала розвиватись, мені дуже цікаво проходити ті етапи, що зараз вже є в грі. Я обов'язково буду чекати на оновлення. АЛЕ додайте УКРАЇНСЬКУ МОВУ, ми дуже хочемо бачити нашу мову частіше в усіх іграх, дякую!
我就请问呢,我也玩了155个小时,昨天鱼做不出来,今天一开店就卡白屏,花钱只能玩155个小时?实在不行你要不退给我算了
One of the best business simulators I've ever played to be honest but as the game is still in Early Access, there's a lot of bugs (which is why I've stopped playing it). First of all, the game FEELS nice, it isn't frustrating to play as a player, all functions are smooth and there are options to even improve it like turning off collisions to just get into the game. All aspects of running the errands are easy to handle, you can learn to do them efficiently and very fast. You can do almost all parts of running the coffee shop alone (which i appreciate bc when you're running a startup, the goal is to save as much money as possible, the addition of new staff is extra bills i do not want). The leveling pace is good but i do have issues with the finances of the game. It can be incredibly hard to earn profits in the beginning, and if you're like me, i will not be upgrading to a new service until i have everything ready and set up for it, so you can imagine i leveled up quite slow which i did not mind at all since i enjoyed the game play that much. The game FORCES you to take loans to progress sometimes and i understand it is a video game but 110% interest rate on a loan is absurd even for a game. It makes it incredibly hard to earn profits at all and if you want to scale up, you have two options: 1. get a loan the devil wouldn't think of offering you or 2. grind for hours until you have that $200 dollars you need. getting a $5,000 loan and having to pay back more than $10,000 is genuinely sick Another thing is you won't actually make considerable profits until you scale out of the coffee shop menu items and start providing burgers, pizzas, etc. which is fine, it reflects irl coffee shops have low profitability. but it is a problem when i cannot make those items myself. the main reason i stopped playing the game despite loving it, is because i kept losing customers due to buggy employees. the whole day would pass and they'd just be standing outside doing nothing and losing me money! *mr krabs voice* I love all aspects of the actual gameplay, i like setting up the coffee shop in the morning, i love going shopping for stuff, i love arranging everything and i love that i can just be an employee too and do normal tasks. HOWEVER, i do dislike that the time cannot stop in the game, at first it was fine as gameplay was slow anyway, i found myself skipping time a lot but as you progress, you will never sleep again and you'll be going into every new day as if it was a war zone you need to prepare. You need to open at exactly 8AM or else you'll risk losing profits as the NPCs don't actually spawn and come around until 10AM. Please let time pause outside of working hours. If you want to upgrade your shop and do a massive haul, you might need to close shop for an entire work day. Another thing is the driving to the shop or ordering things online, i found it incredibly smart that the game wants me to go to the supermarket to buy things instead of paying double online, i figured that out quite later in the game and literally restarted my whole game because i wanted to save as much money as possible. but going back to the time thing, it can become very hard later on because time does not stop at all. even if i leave at exactly closing time, i barely come back in time to open at 8AM. i tried once to check if the shop won't be affected if i left during work hours with the shop open but nothing loaded so i wasted those hours (it's fine, you experiment and learn) oh and the car is insane, one time i flipped the whole thing in my rush and idk where my stuff went. they spawned back obviously but because im in a rush to go and come back, the drive itself is insanity. i sometimes find the employees weird and some of their bugs might be my own fault (tasks) but it can be incredibly frustrating when they just bug out of nowhere and i can't fix it during a busy shift. One thing i'd like to be adjusted is for us to give them an idle location. if i can set them up to be idle INSIDE the cafe, it would be much better than them going back and forth and losing time (like a staff room). I really hate the cooks they make me so mad. I cannot do any cooking and they just keep messing up. they can't find items when they're on the shelves but they can find them on the floor maybe let us hit them with a bat to reset them idk it'd make me feel better at least Overall i do love the game and understand all these problems are due to the fact that it is still a work in progress. I will definitely come back to play it again once it's out of EA.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this game! I'm so looking forward to the different things you will be adding. Think about this, how about a movie theatre? Buying movie licenses to show and serving the different items like they do at the theatres. I'm truly excited. Excellent work so far. Keep it up and going!
