About this game
In the year 2142 Earth joined the galactic federation. You play as a food truck owner reminiscing on the friends that they made while running a sandwich food truck.
As you listen to and observe your customers you must put together sandwiches based on the clues from their order and what they’re current mood is.
As you serve them and talk to them you’ll grow closer, and get to see more about their lives and how you have affected them.

Design Process
This was made during our Game Project Studies 2, taking place during Semester 5.
We were tasked to make a game with a team with the theme of "Alien Relationship".
Since it's about having a relationship with aliens, we decided to make a simulation game where you talk with aliens. The more relationship points you have with the aliens, the more you will have different endings depending on how close you are with the aliens.
So what will make 2 different strangers become friends? We thought of food, hence, we decided to make the game similar to Coffee Talk or VA-11 Hall-A. Where you make food for the aliens and eventually build a relationship with them.
The main idea of the gameplay is the following:
- Player talks to the customers and order the food
- Player will the create the order (make the sandwich)
- Player serves the order and talks to the alien customer to increase relationship
UI Mockups
Aside from the UI Mockups, I'd also planned on what kind of sandwiches the player should give the customers based on the dialogue that the lead designer wrote through the script.
Since we have quite a lot of ingredients that need to be taken care of, communicating with the artist on what kind of assets we need is also important. Hence, I decided to create a checklist of the artist to ensure that everything checks out and the assets will be there without any issues and schedule conflicts.
