Dev blog 07 | Jel's Cafe |

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone had a good time over the holidays!

If you somehow missed it, Drawing with Nat: Dream Diary's version 0.3 was completed and released on Christmas Eve! This now means development for it has concluded and I will be fully focusing on other projects.

I myself haven't had too much time to do much work on Jel's cafe as I spent most of last week focusing on Nat and Christmas stuff. But I do still have some updates to share!

JEL'S CAFE PROGRESS

Breaktime:

Breaktime is a period that takes place halfway through the day during the game, how the gameflow works is -> Lunch rush -> Breaktime -> Another lunch rush.

Breaktime allows you to talk to the staff members, Bliss, Jel-e and Phoebe. You are able to talk to them, give them gifts (which can be ordered from Phoebe) and offer them your lunch. Giving them your lunch will make them gain weight and will also make them like you more, unlike customers the staff members aren't picky about lunch, so giving them anything will make them happy. Giving the staff members a gift is excatly the same to customers where each character has two preffered gifts and the rest of the gifts give very little reward, it'll be up to you to figure out what gifts your characters like in your save file.

All of these apply to all characters except for Pheobe, who due to being a robot cannot eat initially, you will have to upgrade her so she is able to eat food and gifts. To make up for the fact that she has to be upgraded first she gains weight much faster than other characters. The ability to upgrade has yet to be implemented, and will come later down the line when I work on special gift items. (Which will be unique one off gifts that have special interactions with certain characters.)

Rush 2:

I also began working on the second lunch rush which takes place after break time, though I haven't done too much work just yet. It'll basically play exactly the same as rush 1, with the changes being that characters that appeared during ?Rush 1 cannot appear again during rush 2.

I'll be continuing full development on this project going forward! Thank you all for your support and merry christmas!
