Week 8 Update

Welcome back to another weekly update!

For those new here, we post weekly updates with a goal of being completely transparent with our progress. Comments are open to everyone and we would love to hear your thoughts!

So What's New?

Unlike last week, which was our first update post and as such quite the novel, this one is going to be more reasonable. We also discovered that Steam has some pretty handy formatting tools!

Let's start by covering our goals from last week and see how we did:

Plans for Week 8

• Complete audio overhaul - Done

• Complete order bubble overhaul - Done

• Complete customer scoring - Done

• Start work on menu system (planned completion by end of Week 9) - Started and on track

We managed to complete all the tasks we set out to do and made some good headway on the menu system. It is currently fully controllable by keyboard and controller, but VR is still a work-in-progress.

More Details

[expand type="details"] We completed the audiovisual overhaul, which significantly improved the look of the map, making it look and sound more fun and alive. We also finished improving the order bubble, making it much more apparent what the customer wants.

More importantly, the tips have been properly balanced. There were some issues with extremely picky customers, whose expectations have been tamed. [/expand]

That's it for this week! - See? Much more reasonable!

Plans for Week 9
