Let's just start out by saying that this looks really good. I'll defiantly play it when it comes out. As for your questions:

1-The story is simple, yet seems to be fun at the same time. It's like this game is a relaxing story for the player. As for the characters' I like them. They all have pretty good personalities, and will keep the story going.

2-Maybe just try and branch out of the box a bit with the personalities. A few of the girls may be a bit too nice, but that's not a bad thing.

3-System seems fine for me.

4-You could try eating one and then describe it, or if you wanna an example maybe this (though it may not be that good lol) "Mom really didn't know had to keep fresh food. The bread was stale, and crunched in my mouth with every bit. Though I tried to ignore it, I could help but taste how dry and bland the turkey was. If I didn't have a strong stomach, I defiantly would have thrown up" Hope this helps a bit.

5-Yeah. It looks like a cute cafe

6-I'm just confused about the dating style. So you play the game and get one girls path to play through, then do it again to get another. If that is how it is, does the girl we are own have a good and bad end?

1,3,5. Thanks!

2. Well they do have varying degrees of niceness.

4. Thanks for the suggestion.

6. The focus of the game is not really about dating, although it does have elements of romance.

The story is fairly linear, complete the first route and you unlock the second route, which picks off from the first. Then the third picks off from the second, and so on. There's no really good or bad ending, although most of the choices you make are selecting your food and drinks, and rating the girls. And seeing how they react to your choices.

There is a route selection screen; when you first play Anna is available.

I guess my first post wasn't clear enough ^^

Test Render...


Test Render + Minor Photoshop Touchup


Looks Cartoony Enough...

Thanks for the progress, keeps getting better and better.

Maybe I should put a Restaurant Impossible reference in the story...or not.

Err... deleted the last three post because it's sort of spoiler but here is current progress...

Test Render with focus on Signage (no post process yet)... looks good enough...






Hmm... It seems I need to add floodlighting in the parking space...

Otherwise it's looking awesome.

And finally, the outside environment is done... here's a few tests / mockup I made...





Now before I start with interior furnishing I'll be needing your help guys. Normally, I Uncle Mugen do these things myself but free time is always in short supply for someone like me so I can only do so much. I have no choice but to chose between modeling original components or texturing... Long story short, I'll be needing help on some textures inside the Restaurant so I can concentrate on modeling the furniture...

Something like this...



I will be requesting a few things.

- Letter sized poster similar to the one I posted above [8.5" x 11" 300 or 150 dpi please] . I posted the template below as attachment. I will need at least 4 more variants. - A restaurant menu of things being offered at Cafe Memoria [8.5" x 11" 300 or 150 dpi please). If possible make it two pages so I can make a menu component back to back...

There will be more textures I'll need as I go along with this so I'll be depending on you guys for those... Uncle Mugen is going all out on this before I handle the model back to you guys...

Just a minor test...

Please play in HD for maximum pain and glorious quality!

That would look great in an OP for the game.

All it needs are... sprites! *prepares next blog post*

I'm actually considering an OP, that is, if my budget allows (and among other things).

Time to reveal character artwork! Meet some of your lovely waitresses of Cafe Memoria!




Anna Pervova
Anna is the daughter of the owner of the restaurant, Elena. She startles easily and is quite shy. Her mother thinks that by allowing her daughter to work, her confidence will improve. However, she doesn’t think so. Because of her personality she tends to fidget a lot and is quite clumsy.


Mikaela Kier
Mikaela is Ryne’s childhood friend, and is somewhat overprotective of him. She inadvertently broke something expensive, and now she’s forced into a part-time job to pay it off. She has a very short temper and loses patience easily. Often gets into petty arguments with Julia.


Aurelia Alvarez
Aurelia wanted to work at the restaurant because of a certain guy she knows is a regular there, who she considers a very sweet guy. She is perhaps the nicest, and the most physically attractive girl in the restaurant, albeit airheaded and lacking in common sense.

More characters will be done later.
Credit to Ezri for character artworks!
