[h3][b]Hello, Emperors! 👑[/b][/h3] Last time on [b]Features Buffet[/b] we showcased some of the best ways to set up your food trucks’ interior for optimal taste, speed and profit! Today we’d love to talk a little bit about how [b]TIME OF DAY[/b] works in [b]Food Truck Empire[/b] and how it affects gameplay. ⌛ [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/d1b15f76618296af4a8c2c741de6c5660f82c9c2.gif[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/180b030766b23c296405d26cf3dc781cbd25fdb0.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/e5f7a3387cff8ac2a607f50e4c30717858d76c52.png[/img] A day in [b]Food Truck Empire[/b] consists of [b]3 different time periods[/b], each with its own distinct vibe and look. [h3]🌅 [b]Morning[/b] - [i]5:00 AM - 12:00 PM[/i] ☀️[b] Afternoon[/b] -[i] 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM[/i] 🌇 [b]Night [/b]- [i]7:00 PM - 2:00 AM[/i] [/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/a159767b185b945a275a4a22f09deff187e00b72.gif[/img] [b]We wanted to make sure that with lighting and other effects we can make them as distinct as possible while also keeping the overall character of the game consistent. [/b] We’ll share more on how we achieved such a lighting system in a separate post soon.

[b]Each of them has their own behaviors depending on the time of day.[/b] Early in the morning, the streets will be full of commuters, kids on their way to school, and workers getting ready for a hard day of good old manual labor. 👷 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/542b53d84a2cc5ba71bcf714388000dd11b3b46b.gif[/img] [b]If you want to cater to a specific demographic, you have to get to know their schedule.[/b] Afternoons might be a better time for tourists or elders just casually strolling through town. And nighttime? Nighttime is party time, so be on the lookout for a lot of hipsters and partygoers eager to burn the midnight oil and eat some burgers. You can try serving food to elders at midnight, [i]maybe it ain’t the most sound business strategy[/i] - [u][b]but you do you! [/b][/u]🤠 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/180b030766b23c296405d26cf3dc781cbd25fdb0.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/5c805ab7a41ec3d9421895ed54a020001c806402.png[/img] Ok, so now for the last piece of the puzzle. You know all about demographics, and you know that different times of day affect how the city and its inhabitants behave, so [b]it’s time for EVENTS.[/b] 😁 Events are… well, [b]events that happen during specific hours throughout the game. [/b]Some of them might be regular, like lunchtime in the downtown business district, and some might be dynamic, like a game happening at a local stadium. ⚽ [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/b6b905bc81712e63e085a4bad47d56a4b75e2d69.gif[/img] [b]Each of them presents an opportunity and a challenge.[/b] It pays to always be prepared and agile with planning your fleet and menu. [u]You never know when that extra food truck might come in handy![/u] 🚚 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41968945/180b030766b23c296405d26cf3dc781cbd25fdb0.png[/img] [h3] ⏱️[b]We've run out of time - literally[/b] ⏱️[/h3] We hope that, with this post, you will be able to plan your timely business expansion in Food Truck Empire accordingly.
