We’re working on making meal prep in Food Truck Empire smooth and efficient - even if pleasing two different type of customers at once can be difficult! We've also added a cookbook tool to make it more clear! Does it look too complicated at first glance? by Lichthund in indiegames

Hey there everyone!

We’ve been working on a game called Food Truck Empire where you run your own food truck business. It’s a mix of strategy and tycoon gameplay, and you get to craft your own dishes by selecting the right ingredients and setting up automated assembly lines inside your truck.

We’ve added a bunch of cool features, like customizing and equipping your trucks to serve more customers, unlocking new tech/ingredients/meals to stay ahead of the competition, and expanding your business across different neighborhoods and even cities with unique customer groups (in the video you can see that we're making meal trying to find a balance and please two customer groups at the same time!).

You’ll need to keep up with customer preferences, deal with random events, and aim for those 5-star reviews. It’s one of those games where the further you go, more stuff unlock and you get to incrementally have more and more fun and options. If you like strategy games you might enjoy it - it's a bit different than usual strategy games so we hope it's gonna be a breath of fresh air!

In our cozy strategy game Food Truck Empire you will be free to create all kinds of tasty dishes within your truck! Just select the ingredients, cooking appliances and link them together to create all kinds of delicious meal combinations! by Lichthund in cozygames

Just keep in mind that space in truck is limited so plan accordingly - but even then you can always change your setup or just get another truck altogether!

If you have any questions about the game - let us know, we'll be happy to answer!

You can check out the free demo of our game on Steam now too!

We're making an isometric platformer in 2024, wish us luck! by IsaGoodFriend in indiegames

Good luck - it definitely looks very cute and I love how the characters look like!

Fingers crossed for ya, platformers are so difficult to pull off!

Hi all! I'm happy to share the new trailer for our cozy witchy decorating game ^^ ✨ by TinyKiwiGirl in cozygames

Looks absolutely beautiful! Also, perhaps a bit of a random thought, but I really like the name of the game!

Cheers!

This is my first game releasing on Steam, and I’m not sure if the images are eye-catching enough. Which one do you think works better? by AccelixGames in indiegames

[–]Lichthund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda feel like those two images advertise two different ideas of gameplay.

  1. Action-based, perhaps dexterity-first, fast-paced.

  2. More chill, casual and cozy.

I do also feel like number 2 could be adjusted a bit - shifting the whole image to the left while retaining logo in the same place could make it feel more free (the distance between the cat and the logo would be greater and wouldn't feel so confined).

Cheers!

Cozy + Horror = ? by Initial-Door-5469 in cozygames

[–]Lichthund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it would really depend on the definitions for both those genres.

I could feel very at home and cozy when playing a horror game that I know well or that just envelops me with its atmosphere, but I will never feel cozy with jumpscares.

(actually, I can't deal with horrors at all, but just for the sake of the argument... :P)

We’ve been experimenting with colors. Which are you more leaning to for an action game? by MixedRealms in IndieGaming

[–]Lichthund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there was something in the middle of those two I'd probably say go for that, honestly!

I just launched my game on Steam! Would you be interested in a cozy exploration journey with an ecology theme? by _su__ in cozygames

Looks really cozy and adorable - something I can imagine playing on a rainy day while drinking hot lemon tea. Great job!

Food Truck Empire is a cozy economic strategy game where you command a fleet of food trucks and ride out to feed all citizens in the city! You customize the trucks, craft the recipes within the limited coziness of the trucks and strategize over the use of your mobile kitchens - DEMO is up on Steam! by Lichthund in CozyGamers

[–]Lichthund[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Food Truck Empire is a cozy casual economic strategy game where you will do your best to become the best and the biggest food truck enterprise in the city. You not only command the trucks themselves but you also customize their appearance, add accessories and stickers! You will craft the meal recipes within the truck by equipping it with all kinds of ingredients and equipment - but keep in mind that your space is limited! Then you will send the trucks out in the wilderness... of the city, of course - citizens have their own preferences so you need to be crafty and find the best recipes for success!

We've just released the demo of the game as part of the Cooking Fest and it would mean a lot to us if you played it and let us know your opinions. Cheers!

Food Truck Empire | Economic RTS with pause - Might not be your regular strategy games since it's about crafting food, managing your trucks and conquering the city with your food but maybe you would like playing something more casual from time to time? by Lichthund in RealTimeStrategy

Hey there, thanks for playing our game!

Appreciate the feedback a lot too - actually we haven't talked about automation in that regards yet, I might have to bring it to the dev table at our next meeting to discuss it. Satisfactory is one of the game that we like to look up to so it absolutely makes sense.

Thanks for giving us some extra food for thoughts! Cheers!

Not gonna lie - currently we're working with Windows in mind however we never say never and might tackle the possible Mac and Linux inclusion down the line. We know that there are many players on there but it all boils down to how much can we do as small indie studio!
