Gameplay Structure

[marcus-ng379]

• Time based system (6:00 AM - 12:00 AM ---> 18 hrs per day) where actions cost time.

• X number of steps = 10 min.

• Each day starts by waking up at 6:00 AM.

• Player is given control of what to do on that day:

  • Talk to NPCS
    • Each love interest have different schedules and locations they appear in, so player has to explore & learn.
    • By talking to them before service, they can give clues as to what dishes they crave today, from a randomised (but still personalised) pool of recipe options. Serving them their wanted dishes is the best way to quickly fill up their affection meter.
    • You can also talk to NPCs (and specfically love interests) after service, where they have dialogue depending on whether they liked the food today.
  • Opening restaurant
    • Takes {3-6 hrs [can set desired time]}.
    • Usually not done at the immediate start of the day before talking to love interests, due to not having known what they're craving today.
    • Mix between love interests and random love NPCs.
    • Earn money.
  • Hunting/gathering
    • Walking to locations outside the village.
    • Uses step-based time system used in normal movement.
    • One-hit kills. <--- subject to change
  • Buying from shop
    • Another way to acquire ingredients.
    • Takes significantly less time {10 MIN / purchase} due to not having to walk around.
    • Uses money earned from restaurant.

• Special events can be unlocked. These trigger whenever you talk to the NPC with all conditions met (e.g. Sufficient affection, specific time, specific place, specific player dialogue choices).

• Days end when player return to bed, or when it's 12:00 AM (unless some NPC events bypass this)
