Features Buffet vol. 5 - Time is Money🕒💸
[h3]Hello, Emperors! 👑[/h3]
Last time on Features Buffet 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 TIME OF DAY works in Food Truck Empire and how it affects gameplay. ⌛



A day in Food Truck Empire consists of 3 different time periods, each with its own distinct vibe and look.
[h3]🌅 Morning - 5:00 AM - 12:00 PM
☀️ Afternoon - 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM
🌇 Night - 7:00 PM - 2:00 AM [/h3]

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. We’ll share more on how we achieved such a lighting system in a separate post soon.


But time of day is not just about looks, it plays a pivotal role in our cities’ lives. 🏙️
As you already know, we have a lot of different types of (potential) food truck customers inhabiting our game. Each of them has their own behaviors depending on the time of day. 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. 👷

If you want to cater to a specific demographic, you have to get to know their schedule. 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, maybe it ain’t the most sound business strategy - but you do you! 🤠


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 it’s time for EVENTS. 😁
Events are… well, events that happen during specific hours throughout the game. 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. ⚽

Each of them presents an opportunity and a challenge. It pays to always be prepared and agile with planning your fleet and menu. You never know when that extra food truck might come in handy! 🚚

[h3] ⏱️We've run out of time - literally ⏱️[/h3]
We hope that, with this post, you will be able to plan your timely business expansion in Food Truck Empire accordingly. If you’re hungry for more info on Food Truck Empire or have any questions regarding this post - let us know below in the comments.
