make this game about cooking and business not a time race

[Jimfromfiles]

Please don't make this cooking simulator in a truck. I dont understand why all cooking games are really just puzzle time games in the back drop of cooking. The time race will come naturally so theres no need to make that the focal point. 100 seconds is a little ridiculous but thats just my personal opinion.

Allow us creativity in what we items we make instead of pre set items. Allow us to get employees whether human or auto robots of some kind.

Please dont make this a puzzle time game with purposely clunky controls for more of a challenge

yes indeed ,no time race

Hello, this is still a demo that is WIP. We will be tweaking the time as well as many other things within the game. We value your feedback and we will keep that in mind!
We mostly want the players to have fun and relax, so we will try to balance it out.

I totally agree, I'm really sick of games like this being about doing everything as fast as possible. I enjoy trying to be more efficient as time goes on and managing several things at once but it stops being fun when I'm simply trying to go as fast as possible to beat the clock with the pressure of being punished for not beating a time limit.
There should at least be an option for time restraints, maybe as a difficulty selection?

[RAZ0RWOLF]

Good game but won't be buying it if we are forced to have time limits to make orders, I was hoping for more of a relaxing simulation game owning your own food truck, the stress of those timers just ruin it for me, if you remove the time limits or add another game mode with no time limits then sure id buy it.

I agree with the time limits. there is way too much to do in so little time.

for example, you have something like 150 seconds to prep a burger that has meat, cheese, tomatoes, bacon, you have to slice the tomato you have to slice the bread you have to toast the bread, nothing cooks at the same speed so your constantly watching to make sure you cook it right. not very pleasant for me.

plus when you get to the nightclub part, I had to cook 2 buggers with one rare meat and one medium and then i had to slice onions and... whatever else, there is too much to do in one go and things either cook way too fast to have time to do other things at the same time.
the gas tank goes down way too fast. i'm constantly shutting off the fryer and the grill to save gas which makes no sense in real life. the gas tank should be able to last a good part of the day, maybe only switching it if you end up going to an evening location. plus the tank should be outside on the back of the truck, not inside in front of the take out counter.

Also, because you have no time to do other things, when other people come with orders the time already starts going, so when you get to their order, you already lost so much time for their order.

The time limit really wasn't fun for me.

the oil in the fryer degrades way too fast, I cooked one order of fries and the oil was already down to like 88%.

the cooking times need to be balanced in a way that you have time to prep other stuff, or have the player arrive on location and do a bunch of prep before allowing customers to order food. Also, Don't have the food spoil so fast, you can literally see the spoil bar go down before your eyes .

I get that customers don't want cold food, but it seems like the times are way too fast. I would rather have an option to remove the time altogether. Just having to be careful with the cooking times for each food is management enough for me. The timer is not a pleasant way for me to play the game.

would be nice to be able to walk out the food truck as well.

It's quite nice of the devs to make a demo available, and to use the feedback to improve the game before release.

I do agree with a lot of the other comments here. Oil and gas shouldn't really be something you work with during the cooking, they should last the entire day (or no more than one swap). They should also be placed on the outside, and not take space from the serving counter.

As for the time rush, that's what makes me lose interest in continuing playing. There's just way too many things to do with a very strict time limit. There really shouldn't be a time limit at all, but rather it's up to the player to make as much as possible before it's time to close down for the night.

I did enjoy driving to new places to set up shop, but the car could handle a lot better, it's drifting all over the place when you're a little bit fast.

As for ordering food and having to pick it up, that's OK. I would rather not have a time limit on it though.

I also mentioned it in another tread, but the optimization is quite terrible, I'm barely getting 40+ fps on a 3080 GPU at 1440p. Hopefully that will vastly improve before release.

I do enjoy these types of games though, and I had a lot of fun with Gas Station Simulator (although I did mod it to remove worker stamina, otherwise the stress took over there as well).

Hopefully we'll see some improvements in another demo before release, I'm rather looking forward to this game.

This. The gas tank only lasting 5 min is ridiculous. And please remove the time limit for orders. I want to relax in this game not doing a race.

[RemyMei]

I say add a Relax Mode for those who don't like being timed. I can assure you, not a single one of those people complaining are willing to wait hours upon hours when they go out for anything irl either, lmao.

[KleinesEinhorn]

For me at the moment the controls are to clunky, so it makes it very very hard to finish orders in time and its really stressful. I have nothing against a countdown put how the game is at the moment its very frustrating. The Tutorial should also explain preparation for orders, i mean most food trucks do that before they open to handle customers faster. The Thing with the Knife is horrible, cutting tomatoes is a mess. Put yes i would also be very happy if the game would be a bit more relaxed, in my eyes there is a lot of work to do and a good middle way would be the best or two Game mods what ever. The Idea is great put a lot of work to do.

Atleast this team that works on this game reads the discussions unlike the gas station simulator devs..

The developer of this game are the SAME EXACT devs of Gas Station Simulator.....Drago Entertainment. Same exact people do this game, GSS and Winter Survival Simulator

I AGREE! FUN GAME BUT THE CONTROLS AND DRIVING ARE WONKY. I am heavily looking forward to this but needs work before it can be released.

YES LITERALLY ALL OF THIS

Pretty much sums up my experience. I enjoyed the demo, but the time constraints killed it for me as well. There's just not enough time to get the orders out, especially with no option for prep. Please consider adding a Relaxed Mode. Thanks!

Can I ask where you found the gas station simulator mod?? That sounds AMAZING.
