Okay, so few of you know about my new map Sim Restaurants, because i've been sneaking previews to those lucky enough to be there and test it.
Right now i'm just posting this to let people know originally I made it incase someone tries to take it
.
[center]Game Name:
Sim Restaurants!
Game Statistics:
Players: Four
Map Size: 128x128
Tileset: Badlands
Game Objective:
The Game takes place in an urban downtown area where you've just opened a brand new restaurant. You the manager are a fat chubby guy and if you get near the waiter serving the food you will eat it!. The four players are fighting to be the best competitive runner. To win the game you must gain the most money in the total week you are givin to put the otehr restaurants out of business. But you must be quick, because while you're building tables and setting up your restaurant, customers are flowing in! you must serve the customers before they get too hungry and starve to death. Advertising is also very helpful as it brings in more customers. Sadly, only 4 customers will set together at a table, so you must build enough tables to satisfy your guests.
Advanced Systems:
Randomized Customer AI: People are always walking around outside your restaurant randomly moving about the sidewalks giving a busy urban feel. But this isn't your ordinary Junk Yard Dog.
[X] Comeplete...
Randomized Car Activity: If you've seen Kill Me, you'll know what i'm talking about. The streets outside your restaurant are busy with cars as they randomly drive through the streets.
[X] Complete...
Customer Patience: Your customers will wait in your line until a table is ready for them, once they arrive they are a neutral color white. When the customer is hungry he becomes grey signifying your waiter to bring him food. If he doesn't receive service in time he grows hungry and becomes black. If you fail to feed him he will starve to death and your restaurants rating will go down.
[ ] Refining....
Your Waiter: Your waiter is a drone, and when your customers are hungry you must send him to the kitchen to pick up some food. although this isn't advanced you must bring him to a table and burrow him to feed them. The powerup in your hand will disappear and the guests will also leave giving you money.
[X] Comeplete...
Screenshots:
Demo:
Decided not coming out unless I lose interrest in this and stop production. Then i'll atleast let people see what i had.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and i hope it is enjoyed.

UPDATE: 05-28-05
New time system completed: exactly like our time system, sun rises at 6:00 A.M. and Sets at 7:30 P.M.
Supermart: Opens when sun rises and closes at night. This place is where you purchase everything from employees to food and items.
- Lots of known bugs have been fixed.
- No minigames yet.
UPDATE: 06-21-05
Randomized Car Activity completed: I've had it working for a long time but now it works in everyone's seperate area and not just for P1.
Extra Waiters + Chefs! You can now hire extra waiters for less heavy work and now food spawns slowely in the kitchen. Hiring more chefs increases food production and the valuability of the food for more money per serving.
- Lots of known bugs have been fixed.
- No minigames yet.
UPDATE: 06-30-05
Downtown Shop completed: Purchase many things such as different foods for more money and hire employees. You can also increase your rating.
Specials Area Started After the first day on Tuesday you get a defiler in a seperate area. In this area you can cast dark swarm to select a special or burrow to get briefed on it. Specials are as follows:
Advertise........[$100]
Advertise........[$250]
Spread Rumer.[$350]
Jack up Prices.[-10 Rating]
- Correct many system and improved them.
- No minigames as of yet, but finally have a day counter so they will begin soon.

... I bet everyone had this idea a long time ago too, its not like we haven't thought about this idea ...
There's something else I wanted to say, but I guess I'll just not say it.
Map making should be about claiming an idea to be oneself's but to share it to all.
Nothing to comment on other than that, since there is not much information right now anyways.

Sounds very interesting. I've played something similar to this (not on SC), and I can't remember the name right now... 
Does the Manager build the tables/stuff?
Are you taking suggestions? If you are, I think it would be interesting for the manager to build items that would increase customer's patience. For example building Modern Art (Engineering Bay [example]) would increase all customers' patience by 2 seconds. Might be alittle too much work though...
Good luck with your map!

Dude, that's an increible idea. And by the way i do my triggers, i could easily do that too. So like decorating the restaurant with vanshway statues to make patience better.
And yes manager does build tables.

Ooh, okay sorri for the misunderstanding. Well, after reading the info, it does sound pretty interesting =) Hope this goes well and I'd be interested in seeing it released.
Some suggestions:
*Make a time system that will depend on what types or the amount of customers that come in at different times. Such as after school there are more students, and people usually come in and have dinner at around 7-8. The restaurant closes at around 11 pm which during the course of the few hours (time goes faster when restuarant is closed) you can get the ingredients (or stuff) ready for the next day.
*Also out of boredom you can make some people come and rob your restaurants. (especially when you have those decorations) they can steal them and you lose it. And also you can insert security cameras and alarms to decrease the risk of a robbery.

I like the idea of a time system, not exactly the school of kids that get out but more people come during the day then at night... So i'll probably only interpret a day and night and more people come during the day than at night. A piece of information i didn't include because i'm still deciding on it. is that at the end of each day when you close. You all go to a cooking minigame at the bottom of the map and whoever wins get a big money prize. I'm also going to include stuff such as ceiling fans and lights as lighting for when night comes. These sorts of decorations including the ones to help patience will bring up your resaurant rating.

It would be difficult to do but you could try to give people different attutudes. Or if not (probably not) you could make some of them get hungry faster than others. And if your not doing well, they could walk out of your resteraunt.

Rantent that would be nice, but although it's possible i don't wanna deal with the triggers for that. It's nice what i have. It's like any real sims game, and that's what i was going for.

Don't you want to make the customers happy? All i know is if I'm a customer... I'm gonna want some buffalo testicles, that's gonna decide who has the best restaurant.

lol...im sorry wesmic...this may hurt but...buffalos dont have testicles 
and trigga, maybe you could have about 2 human players, 2 comp players supporting the humans, and then 4 other comp players who are the customers
the 4 players could be of different colours such as black,white,yellow, and brown each representing a race in the world and you could change the attitudes of the entire white population for example to dislike the restaurant because maybe people of the same colour stick up for each other??lol

When you say attention i'm guessing you mean patience, if so i've already announced i'm doing a patience improvment thigy, like decorating your restaurant to make patience greater.

Ideas...
How bout you can upgrade your queue line thingy. For example before upgrading, there can only be 5 people waiting in line. Then every upgrade, there can be 5 more people waiting in line, etc.
And a question, do your food spawn or do you have to buy them, etc.
Also, maybe... you could have it so that, if your restaurant rating is high, more customers come. When it is low, less customers come.
Hmmm... no more ideas... Hope they came in useful... I'm not good with ideas for such maps...
