2022 Spring-Summer Roadmap

Hello all!

As a college student nearing finals, it's hard finding time to improve on existing features, squash bugs, and conduct overall development for Expresso Espresso. Nonetheless, despite the rocky start, I plan on implementing major changes to the overall gameplay and systems for a better user experience. These changes will come periodically during the Spring and Summer. I cannot promise if there will be an update once a month, as I will delegate enough time to make sure these new systems are integrated greatly.

Below is a list of what systems or features I either plan on over-hauling, implementing, or changing:

Current AI System

  • Early this week.

  • While every entity (Barista, Front, Support) has every state implemented for their AI, there isn't enough standardization on switching between these states.

  • We narrowed down the AI getting stuck and will be releasing a patch tomorrow, or later in the evening (CST), to fix this issue.

  • Overall, more configuration on the AI is needed to balance out the feel and movement.

Current Employee Management

  • Early this week.

  • Firing employees will be implemented in the coming week.

Build System Overhaul

  • Within 2-3 weeks.

  • As of now, the build system works fine as intended. However, the controls need to be changed.

  • Tiles and furniture currently do not cost anything. This will be changed in the future. The refund rate for tiles will depend on your initial loan you chose.

  • Zoning will be introduced as a way for players to manage where customers go, where employees can go, and other uses.

  • Item Rotation will be implemented.

  • Textures for walls currently do not connect northwards-southwards.

  • Other various changes will be implemented to improve the current user experience.

Most of the features mentioned above that we have planned for are prepared to be implemented into the game, such as the cities and statistics. We have a lot of systems we would love to implement into this game.
