[h2]Hello Emperors! 🍔[/h2]
[h3]We'd love to hear your voice! 🍲[/h3]
As we continue to develop and improve the game, we want YOU to have a say in what kinds of meals make it into your food truck menu. After all, who knows better than you what should be served on the go?



We’re curious to hear about the dishes but also ingredients you’d love to see in Food Truck Empire. Whether it’s a classic comfort food, something exotic or maybe something completely unique - we want to know what you think would make the perfect addition to our game.

➡️➡️➡️ After reading the questions make sure to answer them in this thread or in the comments to this log!

• 🍕 What meals would you love to see in the game?

Think of anything from pizza and tacos to more complex dishes! What would be the ideal food to serve in a food truck? It can be both hot and cold, keep that in mind!

• 🥒 What ingredients should we add?

Is there a unique ingredient you think should be part of our in-game kitchen? We’re looking to add variety throughout the development, so feel free to list anything you feel we might have missed!

• 💥 (Bonus question) 💥 What type of customer would want these meals?

Every customer in Food Truck Empire has different preferences. What types of customers should we target with these new dishes? Are they looking for something spicy or maybe vegetarian? Perhaps we need to add another type of customers? What kind?

➡️➡️➡️ After reading the questions make sure to answer them in this thread or in the comments to this log!

We’ll be reading through all your responses and after proper consideration your suggestions might end up influencing our choice of meals that we'll make available in the game! This way your input will help shape Food Truck Empire and we’re excited to see what your priorities would be.



👉 We’re also still gathering ideas for neighborhood names!

We’re looking for names that capture the essence of our neighborhoods but we are also more than keen on learning about your ideas for new neighborhoods. Feel free to suggest any ideas you have and maybe even add some fun backstory or theme to them! Your input will help bring these cities to life in ways we can’t wait to see!

[h2]Hello Emperors! 🍔[/h2]
[h3]We need your ideas and suggestions! 🔥[/h3]
As you already know - the city is full of different neighborhoods and locations. Each of those places deserve their own name and we'd love to hear your ideas for the names. From the suggestions you will post we might select the names to immortalize them within the landscape of Food Truck Empire!




We're going to give you, our players, the chance to name the neighborhoods availble in our game hoping to bring your personal touch to the world of Food Truck Empire. Each name you create helps shape the personality and atmosphere of the game, making the city feel alive and unique. It’s an incredible way for you to leave your mark and see your creativity come to life in a bustling world!

[h2]Main points:[/h2]
👉 Basically we want to change the regular "normal" names for some cool community-based names
👉 Below you'll find a list of neighborhoods that you can currently find in the game (this might change in future, but we'll save your ideas)!
👉 Suggest a name for any of the neighborhoods via this thread!

[h2]🔵 Neighborhood #1[/h2]

[h2]🔵 Neighborhood #2[/h2]
▶ Submit your idea here!

A low density area focused mainly on Hospitality (notice the big green-roofed grand hotel!) and making sure that people coming to this area are appropriately animated!

[h2]🔵 Neighborhood #3[/h2]
▶ Submit your idea here!

Often bustling with sounds of people masses this is a place focusing on Commerce and Hospitality. The railroad cannot be forgotten, so many people come to this town through this place!

[h2]🔵 Neighborhood #4[/h2]

[h2] Hello there, Emperors!👋 [/h2]

The city streets are bustling with opportunity, and we’re here to introduce you to a brand-new feature that will make your journey to Food Truck dominance even more engaging.

[h2]Say hello to our new revamped and refreshed Neighborhoods![/h2]



You may be asking - what are neighborhoods? Aren't those the places where customers live? You already have seen some parts of the neighborhoods when you were playing through our demo, however what we are doing now is giving them a much more important role. Let's start with the basics!

Neighborhoods are clusters of city blocks that players can "conquer" - they all share a certain pool of Fame that you can gain. Think of them as mini-territories within the sprawling urban landscape, each with its own challenges and rewards.





Your primary goal? Build your influence within these neighborhoods by serving customers on their streets and growing your reputation. Gain enough Control, and you'll unlock special perks and opportunities to solidify your empire!

Every neighborhood is made up of designated road segments - streets where your Food Trucks can operate and maintain their business. By serving the customers on a street belonging to a certain neighborhood you'll be able to increase your Control over that neighborhood. Now... This all seems very nice but what exactly will that Control give you?





Gaining Control influences the neighborhoods in two major ways:

1. By leveling up your Control you can gain access to unique quests that are available for that particular place. These quests can give you great benefits that will make it easier for you to conquer the rest of the city.

2. The higher level of Control over the neighborhood, the less Fame you'll be able to get out of them (and remember you need fame to research new projects and enhance your food trucks). At this point people pretty much start seeing you everywhere, even when they simply open up their fridge!

Keep in mind that some streets will lay on the border between two different neighborhoods! In these cases, Fame and Control are shared between all affected neighborhoods. Fame multipliers are averaged, and Control gains are divided.




Clicking on the street will also provide you with information about how many people from different demographics tend to traverse through them - it will definitely prove to be helpful information!

Now you're probably wondering - what happens when you gain total Control over the neighborhood?

When you max out the Control over a particular neighborhood several changes happen all at once:

1. Neighborhoods control no longer decays over time. The neighborhood is now fully stabilized under your rule.
2. You earn a global Fame bonus - this boosts your reputation across the whole city giving you a passive bonus to all Fame income across the level.





Take a look at the Neighborhood Inspector visible above. By clicking any block within a neighborhood this little window will open, giving you a detailed overview of the area.

Name: Every neighborhood needs a name, right?
Speaking of which - Join our Discord if you want to name some of the areas yourself as we’re currently gathering all ideas for their names! Control Progress Bar: Showcasing the current level of your control over this place.
Demographics: A summary highlighting all customer demographics and how big is their population in this area.
Quests: Some neighborhoods will have unique quests tied to them - with an enticing reward!



Neighborhood quests are a completely new way for us to give you additional goals to work for while adding a new layer of strategy and narrative. Don't be surprised to find some very unique and interesting quests in your neighborhoods!

However in order to get a quest you will first have to unlock it and you will do so by reaching the first level of Control in that particular neighborhood. You need to invest in the area in order to potentially reap benefits but you will always be able to first see what kind of rewards await you there and then decide whether you want to invest your time.





[h2]What do you think about the new Neighborhoods? [/h2]

The Neighborhood system transforms the city into a living, breathing entity that reacts to your actions - no matter whether you aim for total Control, maximize Fame bonuses, or chase quest rewards. What is more, our aim is to implement more flair and add additional flavor to the city - having separate neighborhoods with their own story, image and feel should make the area so much fun to explore!

Keep in mind, as always, that this system is a work in progress, and we’ll continue refining it. However we’re confident that Neighborhoods will add a whole new flavor to your experience. 🍔



As this might be the last of our devlogs this year we'd also like to take a second to wish you all great holidays and fantastic Happy New Year!

We're going to enter the year of 2025 with renewed energy and even more ideas and fun features that you might hope for - just watch us ride this truck!

Have a great time everyone!
