Progress Update 6 - Hiring Baristas! - Expresso Espresso


Good morning Baristas!

It is a lovely Friday noon, I am currently writing this at a nice coffee shop working on my laptop. I would first like to apologize for the late devlog, last week were midterms for me and I recently got an internship! However, the development of Expresso Espresso is still on-going! Today, we will discuss these updates:

  • Hiring Process/Employee Stats
  • Character Designs!
  • Future Updates

Hiring Process/Employee Stats

Here, you can see a barista you can hire named "Jeff Bezos." Each employee has 3 statistics, their personality (determined by string), efficiency (by %), and skills (also by %). Here, Jeff has a moody personality with mediocre efficiency and mediocre skills. (Disclaimer: these names are randomly generated from a list of random names in a dictionary).  Each trait effects the quality of the cup of coffee the baristas produce, their personality effects the loyalty of each customer too and if retention is kept.

New Character Designs!


We got some new character designs! Expect them to make an appearance in the next few updates :)

Future Updates
While I was on a weekly basis for devlogs on Expresso Espresso, expect the devlogs to be late by at least 2 or 3 days because of how busy my schedule is becoming. On the bright side, I am a third of the way done with the baristas, then I can start adding NPCs and finally release a viable demo for Expresso Espresso! Don't forget to follow if you want to keep up with updates!
