Meet the construction worker
Hello, chefs!
We are super excited to be opening the kitchen of Diner Bros in a few days, that's why, today, we wanted to show you a new special customer: the construction worker.
Working in a construction site is an extremely physical job. You need to be fully fit in order to carry construction materials all over the place. Those houses aren't gonna build by themselves, right? And with a physical job, comes a very hungry customer.
That's why the construction worker will suppose an extra challenge for your kitchen. He will always ask for a double meal so you'll have to work twice as hard, and twice as fast, to keep him happy. Will you be ready to the task?
Meet the dishonest customer
Running a restaurant can be a stressful job. Cooking all the meals in time, keeping your customers happy, making sure that everything works flawlessly... If you manage to do it, you will gain fame over time and everybody will want to come to that new joint in the city that everybody is talking about.
But, be careful! In Diner Bros, you'lkl have to be alert when new customers come to your place. One of them is the dishonest customer, a person that will not hesitate to leave your joint without having paid his bill. How can you avoid this situation? You'll have to keep an eye on them and be ready to catch them if they leave without paying. And you need to be quick! Because if they leave the restaurant, you'll have lost your chance to get paid.
Let's not forget that having a dishonest customer at your restaurant won't free you from your other duties: cooking meals and serving them to your customers in time. Will you be up to the task?
Diner Bros is about to open its doors!
Welcome, chefs! The kitchen is working at full steam, the staff is bustling, and the tables are set: we're ready to open our doors and receive our first costumers. We're happy to announce that Diner Bros, the hectic cooking and restaurant management game, will release on Steam on July 6th!
An important note: Diner Bros will be fully localized to English, Chinese, Russian, German, French, and Spanish. We don't exclude localizing the game to other languages in the future -- no matter where you are, our kitchen is open for you!
In the next few days, we will share with you some details about the upcoming Diner Bros, its game modes, features... Stay tuned and don't miss our special menu!
Bon appétit!
Co-op Kitchen Action with The Diner Bros
I’ve been hard at work for a year and I’m so excited to finally share my project with the world. Now introducing The Diner Bros; a hectic restaurant management game for 1-4 players in couch co-op. Join the Diner Bros as they cook, serve, and upgrade their restaurant! Your restaurant will initially start off small but by impressing your customers, buying new recipes, and renovating the building, you'll have a bustling hot spot attracting customers from around the city. Keep an eye out for special customers too!
My inspiration to create this game is the enjoyable times playing couch co-op with my friends and family. It felt like there was a long drought of local multiplayer experiences with the removal of split-screen mode from AAA games but in recent years there has been a resurgence of local co-op games. My goal with Diner Bros is to recreate that enjoyable social experience I've had sitting side-by-side with my friends.
I’m always on the lookout for co-op games to play but many of them are too complex for my non-gamer friends. My main goal has been to balance the gameplay so that it can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. If you and your partner are competitive and want to maximize your profits, you can do exactly that. Plan out what food will be ordered and prepare the food in advance to earn the most tips. The game will ramp up the difficulty quickly if you choose to play this way. Alternatively, if your partner is more of a casual player, the game will not punish you for it. I’ve found during play testing that the casual player can stick to bussing tables which is a role that only requires good communication. It is important to me to get this balance right as it is very satisfying watching someone who “Doesn’t play video games” and have them enjoy my game.
I am so excited to be working on this project and hope you will enjoy it too. Stay tuned for more updates and thanks for reading!
