New Cafe RP Game

Hey all I’m Allie and I’m looking to put together a team for, what I think to be, an exciting concept.

The Concept

The concept itself is quite simple: a cafe. What is interesting is the way it will be made. Instead of being the usual island with a modern cafe ran by a group of semi-active Baristas, I plan on a well designed Parisian cafe that runs as a single player experience. (Game will be multiplayer but majority game-play is single player orientated)

The game will allow the Barista (user) to take orders from NPCs and them make those orders. This way the game is not reliant on an active user base to provide constant customers and baristas, instead whenever a player wishes to play the possibility is open.

What I need

Right now this game is merely concept, I need a group of developers who are invested in the project to make it a reality. I myself am a Scripter so I will be looking for.

Scripter(s)
Builder(s)
Modeller(s)
Animator(s)
UI Creator(s)

Your role

Scripter

As one of the scripters (one other being me) you would mainly be focusing on the NPC interactions, animation integration, and UI integration. I myself will be working on back-end, so obviously a lot will overlap. Your primary role would be the NPC interactions.

Builders

The style of this build will be cartoon realistic. By that I mean the build won’t be low-poly, nor will it be hyper-realistic. It will be a sweet middle of realistic design choices, but not too high-detail so as to avoid major lag or rendering time from the build side. The main interest of this game will be the process of making the drinks and serving the NPC characters rather then the scenic build. The cafe is based off of Paris (please see attached image).

Your job will be to create the cafe itself and some outside exterior. The game is set completely inside the building so all is needed is the interior and a bit of a street to see through the windows. The interior will require the main serving counter, seating (as in front of shop) and a backroom kitchen. The cafe is one floor only.

Modellers

Most of the ‘build’ detail will come from the models. What will be required is the espresso machines themselves, cups (sit-in/takeaway), syrup pumps, cash registers, hot water machine, toastie machine and any other objects required for the cafe.

Each object will have to be used so that must be kept in mind when designing.

Animators

What will be required from the animators is the interaction with all the objects found in the cafe by the user. (see modeller section for objects) For example when the user is making a coffee an animation for grinding the coffee beans will be required.

UI Creators

What will be required for this is very general menus, shop UIs, text interaction with the NPCs. What will also be required is ‘fun’ UI interaction with the machines in the cafe. For example when the user is boiling water they must click when the UI indicates the right temperature or they will be penalised. I will go over in full detail what is required post-build of the cafe when we have a fixed idea of what machines will be included.

Payment

I can’t offer any upfront payment and payment is entirely based on return of the game. Whoever joins me on this project will form a Studio with me to make this game and we will all take a split of the profits.


I hope that people out there with foresight and imagination will join me on this project, to create an exciting new game.

What is it that you want each team member to do exactly? For example: is the scripter working on backend stuff while you take care of NPC actions? Is it the other way around? For the builder, are they designing the whole cafe? If so, what’s the building style?

More detail will help attract more people, because they can see you put good time and thought into it, and better people, because people will know whether they are qualified to even apply! Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions!

I’ve updated my post to include what you’ve suggested. I’m hopeful that people will be interested and join me on this journey to create an amazing game.

I have a friend who would be interested in the project, he’s on mobile right now and can’t immediately post on dev forum, if you would be interested in working with him here’s his discord slurp#6662, he’s a builder/modeller

I’m interested, i can script and animate. Add my discord Banicky#8640

That’s username didn’t seem to work. Mine is Allie_King#7181

I’ll let him know, he’s been looking for work recently.
