I added Infinite Replayability to my DREAM Game! | Tavern Team Devlog #6

- I added procedural generation, and with a little (a lot) of help from a synty asset pack I was able to add Replayability to my Tavern Team Game. But just adding more variety doesn’t make the game more fun, so while I was focusing on the npc’s appearance I also completely overhauled their AI.Tavern team is a game I've been working on where you manage a medieval tavern with your friends. This includes making preparations for the night’s shift, cooking dishes, serving your customers, etc.

Overwatch 2 critique? Ok i unsub ;) .
@@arnaudloche2725 overwatch sucks lol
handful of fish really coming in clutch, they just pumpin' out features.
That knock on the door scared the crap outta me
I like that your DEV logs do recaps of the whole project scope for people jumping in on the later episodes. Small detail, but it has a big impact.
Thanks I try to add a little context for new people
@@TJGameDev Please do, subbed!
You should definitely give the customers names. Will reinforce the regulars aspect.
If not out of scope you could do it so that there's a small dialogue check that checks if the are willing to share their name or even if they give it themselves.
Random audio of customers saying they love a drink or refusing to pay, starting fights (very common for soldiers) and stuff like that will also add some more flavour to the game, but also seems like a lot of scope creep
Awesome!
Thank you!
Concept idea is phenomenal.
This game looks dope.
Good job!
Thanks man!
this game premise alone makes me want to play it! i subscribed and looking forward to watch the game grow!
Thanks man! Glad to have you
I like the quick and subtle, yet funny "if you catch on" jokes you throw in there. Been following the progress of development since day one, and I can definitely see a lot of work being put it, and really like the improvements you've come up with!
Thanks man, comments like this make my day. Glad you enjoyed
0:48 the ground text 👀
👁️👄👁️
Don’t believe the lies, they’re drones
"If you've made it this far, you may as well subscribe." Such a great line. You usually either get told to hit the subscribe button or asked politely to subscribe if you enjoyed the video, but this is a new one for me.
I feel really weird asking but if people have enjoyed the vid enough to watch to the end might as well lol
@@TJGameDev I may steal that line for my videos. I have never asked for subs actually now that I think about it...
really enjoyed the vid and your vibes!! but omg the knock at 4:16 scared the shit out of me LMAO keep it up bro
Dude I scared myself like 4 times while editing it haha
Wow, your progress is absolutely astonishing and very inspirational! Keep up the great work, I can't wait to wish list the game!
Thank you! It’ll be up on steam at some point
The progress is looking really kool and those are some awesome features. Really like the randomness of each npcs. That just helps with the immersion of the game. Also coming in groups is really good idea. Keep it up! :)
Thanks man!
You should throw some easter egg groups into your game. Recreate the fellowship, goblin slayers party, ect. Have a random spawn chance for those premade groups.
Yessssss will do!
@@TJGameDev This is a really cool project and I look forward to following your blog posts.
I'm really enjoying these devlogs, really well put together!
Thanks man glad to have ya!
Nice video! I really do hope they provide a similiar pack with their sci-fi modules. That will be fantastic.
“Let me wildly oversimplify in 5 seconds”
*proceeds to take over a minute explaining*
I said I was going to oversimplify I never said I was good at counting 😂
Cool project and series. Subscribed, and looking forward to more videos. Looking forward to playing the game in the future too
Thanks!
I LOVE seeing your game progress, also your devlogs keep on getting better and better :)
Thank you dude, I try
I am loving the idea behind this game. Subbed! The art looks great too
Thanks man! All credit for art goes to synty
fights between drunk people would be so cool
Truuue
That drunk animation is *chef kiss* nice.
Haha, I thought so, glad you agree
Hello! Love the format that you are showing of everything, fastest subscribe i have done this year
Thanks man!
I actually am using the same assets pack and will have to tackle this problem eventually. However I think your game idea is brilliant and will play it when you release it!
Thanks man!
This is amazing, well done!
Thanks man!
ooh love, subbed, can't wait to see more
Thanks man!
I discovered your channel a few days ago and i just wanted to say that i really enjoy your videos
Thank you!
Totally excellent listening to this.
Thanks man!
Looking so good!
Thanks!
One of the best parts of a game imo. I love coming back and being able to enjoy a game again
Same!
seems like this would be really fun as a VR game
I might try it out for a video and see how it feels, it may be a little too high poly though
"if you made it this far you might as well subscribe" druuuuue
😉
I had this EXACT game idea written down. First person multiplayer tavern management. Hope you can pull it off! In my game I would make it a bit like overcooked where you have to manage a lot at the same time, like serving customers, preparing food, cooking food with different timers and ingredients etc. making sure not to burn the food. In MP this gives people dedicated roles or mayhem depending on how organized your friends are.
Yup, gonna take inspiration from them definitely
You should add recruiter NPCs that come into the tavern and talk to young people and try to convince them of being adventurers.
To add to that, you could add some form of challenge that would let you influence their effectiveness. Like if you fail to serve them and the young people start think about it carefully they refuse, but if you get them full of food and drinks they have a chance of agreeing.
Also, now that you have adventurers, you could add different tiers like bronze, silver, gold, etc., and give them discounts or other benefits.
A lot of medieval taverns also had rooms to sleep in, so you could get that sorted for them if you want.
I realize this goes really far into what would be my vision so consider any of these suggestions with a grain of salt.
Lot of great ideas, thanks!
how about adding a tavern popularity system which increases when u serve customers and after a set amount of points, the tavern popularity will level up and give u various updates to buy or furnitures to buy, etc. but if u are not able to serve the customer, a little point will be deducted
That’s the plan!
Looking fantastic! This could have been a great vr game
Could have? It still can!
... This must be a mandela effect!!! Because i remember the game being named Tavern tales!!!😱
Haha maybe there’s a similar game out there, but nah I don’t think I’ve called it that. Sounds better though…
Bro, I'm just find your channel, definetely i want to play this game on Steam, great job sooooo much 😁
Thanks dude, hope to get it on steam once it’s done
The amount of fun you can have making this,
I would feature creep so hard!
Breaking up fights! Keeping your wenches safe from the over keen wanderers. Mopping up sickness, saving stories from one warrior and use that information to bribe another.
Great game you have in the works!
I know right! I’m really enjoying working on it right now, just trying to keep scope small haha
I'm not sure if this is already suggested, but being able to customize your tavern furniture, and decorations. you could make a catalog that you can order decorations from that rotates the items sold each day or week in game. and based off the items in your tavern it would attract certain npcs. for example if you have some dwarven themed decorations more dwarves would show up.
Absolutely, love the idea
With that seed mechanism if it reliably creates same character you can create some significant personages procedurally) Like remember some of randoms that you server to player and after some time make them return again)
Congratulations! You created the real world!
Lmao thanks
You are a inspiration to me! Keep up being who you are! \o/
Thanks man!
@@TJGameDev :D
I really love the 14th unique value.
Just keeps getting better I say it every video but this looks like a game ima love to play! Keep it up! Also when will the npcs get drunk and start fights 😆
Thank you dude! Someday lol
I would love to see a video about factor to consider when making a game u will later make online co op ready
7:16 a suggestion; exclamation marks would little by little turn red or some other colors to visualize a timer or level of unhappiness or patience.
Great idea, thanks man
@@TJGameDev Lerp from White (or Green) to Yellow then Red ?
Or maybe make them more stylised being wider at the top and have them fill up (or down) changing the fill colour from Green to Yellow to Red ?
When wearing headphones, when you knocked on the door I got freaked out lol
Piecing together ftfy :D great vid as always
Lmao thanks
keep it up
Thanks!
This is pretty awesome
Thanks man!
@@TJGameDev keeep the grindd 💪🏻💪🏻
imagine coming back from your serving job to play a serving game.
Haha at least the customers aren’t always right here
The editing in this one is cool
Thanks!
that is actually mongas do
Looking Good
Thank you!
You got me on the crowded table. Looks way better.
Thanks I totally agree!
BAR FIGHT EVENTS!!! Where u gotta grab a smoke bomb (or stink bomb) from under the counter and throw it into the tavern center, then everyone disperses.
Oooh smoke bomb is an interesting idea
nice video man
Thanks Classy!
jesus christ! i really like aquarium and fishes... that when i saw it in your video, i wanna stare it as longer
Thanks man!
Take a look at Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead. The game is infinite. The map never ends. It's also different every time you play unless you add a new character to that specific save. It's an amazing game.
Looks like you're doing an incredible job, one thought I had would be if you could alternate the hair color slightly so if 2 blonde people are next to each other they can have a slight difference? to me it seems like a small change that would make a big impact when seeing multiple npc at once. I don't know much about game dev so it might not be worth the hassle.
I'm not into game dev much but enjoy watching your videos on it and looking forward to see more
Thanks man! Glad you’re enjoying. Alternating could be done, but it’s a bit of unnecessary work and overkill. However, brute forcing the solution by adding another 12 hair colors is like 15 minutes of work, so a 1/20 chance of back to back same color, no big deal, so I might wind up doing that thanks!
How’d you handle the trees with the hero asset? I keep getting myself stuck in loops with setting up list of parts. So currently I’m focusing on other aspects of my game hehe
I have all the arms as skinned mesh renderers that are set active. but if you add me on discord I’ll send you an image.
How about adding rare races?
Tiefling/Demon-kin would like spiced wine and spicy food.
Aasimar/Angel-Kin would like wine and bread.
Dragonborn/Dragon-Kin might want the strongest drink available.
Dragonborn/Dragon-Kin and Goliaths/Half-Giants could be rowdy and get in bar fights more often than others would.
Another idea, travelling bards could visit your tavern, including a green frog bard.
Hmm I like the ideas, I have a few orc models I could convert to tieflings
4:16 i wasn't looking at the video so this really scared me. There isn't even a door on my left
Maybe you could add procedurally generated names to the customers. I think this would add an additional layer of remembering customers, especially those which are returning customers.
Absolutely!
what would be an insane thing is to have a rare chance to have a "special" customer and an even rarest chance for him to be with his group (like Gerald of rivia could come alone or with yennefer or the goblin slayer with his team etc...)
Those polygon assets are amazing. I've gotten like 6 packs from the free monthly content
Yeah, I’ve built up a nice little stash from the sales and a humble bundle they just did
Very cool
Thanks man
BAR FIGHTS BAR FIGHTS BAR FIGHTS
SURE THING SURE THING SURE THING
good job dude, wish I had a lot of this knowledge, I will ask but won't mind if there ain't a reply but how did you start off your Unity learning? :o I'd be happy to play this game when it comes out
Thanks man, I just started by following tutorials and eventually made it here
Hey @TJ i don't know if you considered this idea but what you could do is implement a windows speech recognition library in your game, its a few lines of code and you could make it so you can give customers compliments or have a talk and their happiness goed up. Maybe a fun idea :D
I think it would be a little complex but I’ll look into it, thanks
Congrats you’ve made an NFT generator 😂 jk your game looks good so far.
Lmao true
Suggestion: You should make exotic customers customers that dress in wild and bright colors (I got the idea from the men with pink beard hair) They should have a low spawn rate but they pay 2x as much for the drinks they buy and should stay for a lot of rounds
Ah that sounds cool I like it
@@TJGameDev wow thanks
game suggestion: a tavern game with no drunks. you should have some customers get drunk and act out making other customers want to leave. you could use the throwing mug action you made to kick out the chaotic drunk. chucking mugs at drunks could very fun. if you cant manage the drunks on your own, just hire Magrog hes a 7 foot tall orc bouncer who will throw out chaotic drunks for a small fee.
Lol I love the bouncer idea
Keep going
Thanks man!
This looks awesome! I really like the drunken walk out the bar, although I tend to find regulars will complain more, even though they'll stay around longer. Perhaps you can make them like that.
You’re the second person to say that haha, thanks for the feedback! I’ll have to rethink the benefits of regulars
yo, i am a char designer and your video is super useful and i followed u~ and looking forward to play your game!
Thanks man!
u r a good CZcamsr 👍
Thanks man
Got a question TJ if you got the chance to answer. How and what did you do to get past tutorial hell? I feel as I'm stuck, Thanks!
I never stopped watching tutorials, but the feeling of needing them to do anything is gone. Just read through the unity Manual and once you know 90% of the functions and possibilities, you’re able to understand how to create something new
yum yum
I like the streamers refereces haha
I watch a lot so I enjoy throwing them in there
Hey man. Nice work! Curious if you were able to support network play.
Still working on it haha
omg i wish this was an mmorpg it looks so good
Thanks!
BABY FISH
can i ask something, if we purchase some asset from store or market place and we use to our project so we can make project to commercial?
yeah you have the right to use them since you have bought them, i think they will also give a license too.
Thanks man, keep it up
Yup, if you buy them from the store they come with a commercial license
@@TJGameDev Thankyou man
Randomise the height of customers too!!
Oh I did, maybe I forgot to mention it
When do you plan on releasing the game, this looks so fun
Once it’s done
You should give the customers different names so you can tell them apart better/remember them :)
Yeah they definitely need this
Isn’t Tavern Manager on steam almost this game exactly? Also loving the dev logs man, keep it up 👍🏻
Yeah, It’s more of a base builder than a first person game. The dev reached out to me and has been super supportive, he’s a super nice guy.
can i do this, with body SHAPES? I want to make the forest spirits from princess monoke, and they ranged from pudgy to skin and short to tall, adult to kids.
I don't code, so you'd have to explain how to do this with blueprints.
This is in unity so not sure how you would do it in Unreal
@@TJGameDev why oh why did it have to be unity :( #feelsbadman
thought I finally found the perfect video.
I mean you could probably do the same thing in unreal, you just have to use blueprints
@@TJGameDev well yes, I'm sure I can... it's the whole.... #thisguysanoob I got going on over here that's kinda stopping that, in its tracks
you hurt my heart.
since you're a professional, you should be like this other youtuber that goes both ways
unity and unreal, but he does... quirky stuff that only he likes, like water material... a lot
7:27 "adding SEGREGATION to my DREAM GAME??!?"
That’s why I changed my mind 😂
Hi dude, just discoverd you yesterday. Do you know about For the king? Your assets remember that game and I would love to see a “sequel”. Hope you can develop sonething similar but with deeper mechanics
I have seen it but never played it, it’s kinda a turn based roguelike right?
Kinda a simple version of D&D with tabletop mecanichs, loot to find and party based multiplayer. Really fun to play with two friends or even alone!
I was thinking what if you could run out of food and need to go into town to get food or maybe the merchant might sell ingredients and you can also hire people like a waiter who can give the foods to the customers another thing is if you could buy extra floors and seats. Because customers might wait outside and also have a patients bar so upgrading your bar to be bigger can also be encouraged and not just so that it looks cool. Random people might show up in a specific place and have a icon that can show that he wants and job and when you. Right click him you could get info about him and his stats and also. Seeing how much he wants to get paid and you can reject him too. In the beginning you might be able to name your bar and real people could look at your bar by typing in the name or maybe a code for your bar and teleport there. You can also add fights randomly and if you let it happen the people in the bar will cheer and come again most likely but if you let it happen a guard in knight armor will stop the fight and give you a few coins the another thing that you can do is add a trash in case you make a mistake and you can throw the accidental food. Another is maybe if you could have a limited amount of bowls and bar cups so you’ll need to buy more with the merchant and you will also need to wash the bar cups and that might be another job you might want someone to have. You can also add rich people like kings from another kingdom that might have 2 knights by his side and the king will pay more than the average person the last thing I wanted to mention was tips and maybe the better quality the food or drink the more the tip is and maybe the more decorations the more the tip will be also. Sorry for the bad format option when I already did like 5 ideas I already noticed that it would be confusing the next video I might get another idea and I will remember to do it much better so it’s easier to read but anyways I really hope that a few ideas make it into the game and that my ideas are at least thought about
Haha thanks for all the suggestions! Join the discord there is a channel there where people drop ideas so I don’t lose them
🎉
"you know how when you go out to a restaurant or a bar oftentimes you're with your friends?"
well no but go on
Lmao I was going to say all the time but then I remembered I go by my self sometimes as well lol
Hahaha oh my god the joke at 0:56
Thanks😂
@@TJGameDev Keep up the good job by the way, hope you'll be as succesful as Notch brother
when do you think will game release?
btw big fan bro :)
Thanks man, idk on release date, trying to keep scope small so that it will be sooner rather than later
@@TJGameDev u should take ur time to make the game better (cuz even devlogs are interesting XD)
I'm in.
Very nice vid ! but don't forget .. birds aren't real xD
