Yatai Master

Well… that didn’t go as planned. 1-star disaster 😂

A new panel shows finances: expenses, ingredients you buy most, best-selling dishes, and waste. Even small stalls have to deal with money to survive...

Ingredients now have small animations. Makes them easier to recognize (I hope).

We added a simple tutorial. Still a work in progress, but it helps new players get started.

I realized how tricky it is to score dish quality fairly. At first, it was just a 1-10 rating, but things got complex fast…

Thanks for the feedback!

Working on the details: searching for that balance where the wood feels rough, and the fabric invites you to stay.

I share the latest updates on Yatai Master, from stock management to purchases, along with changes to the cooking process. Slow, but steady (I hope).

Still a long road ahead, but I think progress is progress…

Developing the dialogue for my game is proving to be more challenging than I expected, but Alexander M. Freed's guide has been a huge help in structuring it all.

I introduce the new market feature in the game. Instead of a general store, players will explore specialized markets. This ties into the game's focus on discovering characters and stories that reward curiosity.

Great!

Finally got a chance to create a splash screen. Here it is for Yatai Master.

1830: Railroads & Robber Barons (1995) - MobyGames Based on Avalon Hill's board game of the same name, 1830: Railroads & Robber Barons is a railroad empire building game that is along the same lines (although a different style of gameplay) as the ...

Your project brought 1830: Railroads & Robber Barons to mind. The way you described it really reminded me of that game. Such nostalgia! Wishing you the best of luck with it! 🛤️

Congratulations!

Very nice!

I love the art!

Working on the yatai’s opening routine, refining small details.

The newspaper is such a simple yet powerful way the yatai connects to its surroundings.

The newspaper is such a simple yet powerful way the yatai connects to its surroundings.

Even a small, flickering TV in a yatai can bring life to the space. Whether it’s a sports game or a nightly drama, it’s a tiny window into the larger world—and a detail I couldn’t ignore when crafting the game’s atmosphere.

A radio playing softly in the background can completely change the mood of a yatai. It’s like a thread tying together the stall and the world beyond it.

Yatai has a special way of connecting to the world around it—through small, everyday things like a newspaper, a radio, or even a TV. These little details have been on my mind while working on the game.🧵
