Schedule 1 is the type of indie recreation that solely will get extra spectacular the longer you stare at it. It is a drug dealing simulator, so that you count on to develop weed out of a cramped condo by day and hustle by evening, however Schedule 1’s complexity can catch you unexpectedly when you poke round its clockwork city stuffed with named residents with jobs, properties, schedules, needs, and distinctive habits.
Jessi, for example, has shortly change into a group favourite for her, um, distinct persona. She’s one of many first common prospects you’ll be able to deliver into the fold of your burgeoning empire and an actual firecracker.
She’s sort of a jerk, however I recognize a straight shooter and respect Jessi’s dogmatic perception that the caps lock is there for use. You at all times know when Jessi’s hitting you up for one more order, as a result of the textual content pop-up reads one thing like “HEY, I NEED 7 BIO STINK RIGHT NOW. I HAVE $400”.
As you may need deduced, Jessi can be a favourite as a result of she buys a lot of medicine. A lot which you could simply upsell her on extra items or straight up overcharge her.
On the opposite finish of the spectrum is Kyle, a supremely chill dude who smokes weed after which walks to his job at Taco Ticklers. Kyle was the primary topic of an ongoing peoplewatching experiment by Reddit person _inferno_44. They adopted Kyle round for every week and recorded precisely what they did every day. The outcomes are as mundane as you’d count on, however I used to be shocked to study the poor man is severely overworked:
- 7 am to 12 pm: Working at Taco Ticklers
- 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm: Break on the Skatepark
- 1:30 pm to 9:00 pm: Working at Taco Ticklers
- 10:00 pm to 4:00 am: At residence
Kyle, my man, they have you ever pulling 14-hour shifts on the taco place? That is tough, however truly, I’ve by no means seen anybody else in a Taco Ticklers uniform across the restaurant, so I suppose he is the one worker (Krusty Krab-style).
“Dude pulling doubles on daily basis. No marvel he is worker of the month and wishes so many medicine,” wrote lonelystone81 below the put up.
To make issues awkward, it is also potential to buy the Taco Ticklers as a cash laundering entrance, which makes us the baddies flagrantly ignoring OSHA protocol. What a cool and non-crucial element to incorporate that 30-minute lunch break within the simulation, by the best way. Not even Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a grand RPG with routines and jobs, has lunch breaks (although individuals do stroll to the tavern after a tough day’s work).
Subsequent, inferno adopted Kyle’s roommate, Austin. I can not bear in mind if I’ve met this man in my save but, however judging by his habits I wager we would get alongside. He leaves the home a bit later than Kyle and walks to the group heart, the place he presumably works till his 30-minute break at 10:30. Then he heads to the Taco Tickler to eat lunch and hold with Kyle, then promptly darts over to the arcade the place he video games for the following seven hours. At 11 pm, effectively previous police curfew, he walks residence. What a gamer.
“Homies gotta be the native pinball wizard spending all that point on the arcade,” added person Precise-Trash2360.
The most recent topic is Jessi herself, who perhaps has essentially the most dynamic but boring routine of the trio. In true stoner style, Jessi’s day would not begin till early lunchtime, 11 am. Her routine is one huge smoke tour: First she smokes on the Taco Tickler, grabs a Cuke from the merchandising machine, then walks to the city corridor and smokes there, earlier than teleporting to the boardwalk to take a seat on a bench and smoke. To prime it off, she smokes down on the docks after which walks again to her motel room to bump loud music. No marvel she goes via a jar of my finest weed pressure in a day.
A part of me thinks that Jessi’s lack of a job, passion, or curiosity past smoking in empty areas and consuming soda is an oversight by TVGS to provide her any actual life, however on second thought, that is a reasonably plausible way of life for a real connoisseur.
