Working on a browsing/spectating system for when customers wander around the arcade.
The idea is to make the space feel more alive even when you’re not actively playing, letting customers stop by machines, see what others are up to, and naturally discover games as they explore.

Fixing the machine condition now causes customers to leave happily when they break the machine!

@StillHollowGame True, haha. It's not wrong per se, but I personally would take a slightly different route. 😅

[Cola Powered Gamer @cola_powered]

Is the path the customers take odd to anyone else? Personally, I’d take a different route 😅

Currently reworking the customers and the employee, and they’re already behaving a lot better.

Still a few questionable life choices to fix though 👀

It seems like the biggest challenges right now are pathfinding and machine conditions. Since several systems are tied together, I’ll need to address them as a whole for v0.2.

These were also some of the main issues pointed out in the feedback, so they’re a priority for the next update.

I’ve started working on v0.2, focusing on fixing bugs, improving the systems, and building on everything I learned from the first release.

Once again, thank you to everyone who took the time to play and share feedback. Your suggestions and bug reports have been incredibly helpful in highlighting gameplay issues and showing me where I can improve.

@BearuDev Haha, fair. Will there be the option to explode those cars then?

[Cola Powered Gamer @cola_powered]

You can download the v0.1 version here. I'm always looking for feedback.

The feedback on v0.1 has been really useful!

The biggest takeaway so far: better onboarding and presentation.

There’s plenty more to improve, including the AI, but the overall first impression has been positive.

Thanks to everyone who played and shared feedback — I’ve got a much clearer idea of what to tackle next.

Coin-Op Empire Dev Update!

After launching v0.1, I decided to take two weeks off from development. Now I’m back, recharged, and ready to continue working on the game.

During that time, I received some great feedback from people who downloaded and played the first version. Seeing what people enjoyed, what didn’t work, and what could be improved has given me a much clearer idea of what Coin-Op Empire needs next.

The path forward is clear, and I already know what I’ll be focusing on.

v0.1 was only the beginning. Now it’s time to start building on it.

@AssetHunts @AIJC_nagahira Is that Marvin from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

@akio_sang_ @DXFromYT Great work! 👍👍

@PixelLeonard @AIJC_nagahira Amazing!

I drew mine too, and it was my first time drawing them.

[Cola Powered Gamer @cola_powered]

@akio_sang_ @DXFromYT You somehow got the face and the expression just right! Nice! 💪

@BTVO17 @secordrian Exactly, I had the same thought! Gunman Chronicles mixed with old Turok.
