Hello everyone, it's me, Simon - the lead developer of the game Cabin Crew Life Simulator. Welcome to my fourth blog post for Cabin Crew Life Simulator !
I hope you have been enjoying the things we have been talking about up until this point and I will have much more to share in the future. If you’re new here, don’t forget to join our Discord channel to stay up to date with the latest news from our team regarding Cabin Crew Life Simulator as well as our other projects.
As the name of the game suggests, you won’t be able to serve passengers without the help of the cabin crew. Especially on larger planes, the number of passengers increases, and so does the list of tasks. We have plans to implement a multiplayer mode in version 1.0, but for now, let’s talk about your AI colleagues. What tasks can they handle?
We’ve spent over three months perfecting the AI features, and we’re still improving them. It’s a challenging task, as flight attendants have to work in the tight space of the galley, both on the ground and at altitudes over 30,000 feet. Assigning tasks to each AI is quite complex, requiring us to divide the cabin into clear zones, just like real-life flight attendants do.
In the EA version, when you reach the Senior level, you’ll be assigned to work alongside other attendants, both male and female, from various countries. Each one will have a brief introduction for you to learn more about your colleagues. And of course, the crew members are assigned randomly—you won’t be able to hire or freely choose them like in other professions.
What tasks can they help you with?
Ticket Checking:
When the airline requires ticket checks, you can assign them to verify passengers’ tickets at the gate before boarding. During this time, you can focus on other tasks such as inspecting safety equipment or preparing the galley. But keep in mind, they can make mistakes too.
Safety Checks:
While you’re inspecting the lavatories or handling cargo, you can assign a flight attendant to conduct passenger safety checks, ensuring seat belts are fastened or tray tables are stowed.
Cargo Handling:
For larger aircraft with a substantial amount of cargo, moving everything from the catering truck by yourself can take a long time. That’s why you can assign some attendants to take on this task.
Safety Demonstrations:
Naturally, after passengers have boarded, you and the crew need to conduct the safety demonstration. For this task, we’ve included a small minigame requiring you to perform certain actions before the attendants present the safety instructions.
Passenger Service:
You’ll assign zones to the attendants for service. For example, if the plane has three sections (front, middle, and rear), you might handle the front section while other attendants cover the middle and rear sections.
Trash Collection:
While you conduct pre-landing safety checks, other attendants can help collect trash from passengers quickly.
A Small Challenge:
However, there’s one thing that might disappoint you a bit. Not every attendant will work diligently or follow your instructions. Some may just sit there and refuse to perform tasks. You can submit performance evaluations for attendants after each flight. Finally, we encourage you to offer a small bonus to boost their productivity, ensuring a safe flight and excellent service for passengers. Doesn’t that sound better?
