Kanban Office — House of Work

An editable 3D office game in Finnish and English for Redot 26.2. Four floors, 16 offices, 64 kanban boards with different topics, and initially 1,024 cards with four lines each. Graphics, characters and furniture are generated from the included source code. No separate asset packs or addons are required.

Getting started

1. Extract the entire ZIP into its own directory.
2. Open Redot and select Import.
3. Select redot_kanban_office/project.godot and open the project.
4. Start the game with F5 (Run Project), rather than F6.

From the command line: redot --path /path/to/redot_kanban_office --editor, or start the game directly with redot --path /path/to/redot_kanban_office.

The project uses Compatibility rendering (OpenGL). The ZIP contains the complete source project, without the Redot editor or an exported Windows/Linux game executable. The standard Redot version is sufficient; .NET is not required.

No physical USB controller was available in the development environment; automated tests check the input mappings.

Playing

You start on the first floor facing reception. Aino and Maya answer basic questions through clickable dialogue choices. A central corridor runs through the building. The stairs are at the far end, beyond reception. Each floor has four numbered offices. Walk up or down the stairs to move between floors.

Each of an office's four walls has a board. A board has a name, Swimlane 1, four lists running left to right, and initially four cards per list. Each card has four lines of text. Topics include building a car, developing kanban software and assembling a robot. Colleagues discuss topics in speech bubbles and move real cards between their room's boards. They move aside for the player.

Moving a card

• Directly in the 3D world: point at a nearby card, hold the left mouse button, drag it to the desired list on another board, and release. The mouse pointer determines the target; controllers use the center of the screen.
• Between rooms: click a card to carry it, or press P / X to pocket it. Open the pocket, select a card to carry, walk to another room, and click the target list or press A. The carried card stays safely in the pocket until placed.
• Board close-up: open a board with E / A. Select boards from the same room for side-by-side views. Drag cards between lists or boards, or into the pocket. Buttons also provide a way to move cards.
• Pocket: the top-bar pocket button or I / Y opens a paginated fullscreen view. Esc / B returns to the game.

After moves, a list may contain more than four cards. Wall boards show the first four and the number of additional cards; all cards are accessible in the scrollable close-up. Colleagues pause card moves while a close-up is open.

Persistent storage and data structure

The game uses a local SQLite database, officegame.sqlite. On first launch, it is created with default content: a building, four floors, workspaces, boards, cards, people, furniture and bilingual text. Its preferred location is beside the exported game executable; if that directory is not writable, the game uses the operating system's Redot user-data directory.

The database also contains corresponding records for the supplied WeKan models, card date fields and an index of all text. Search finds room names, floors, card text, people's names, job titles, questions, answers and furniture names. A building is an organization and each office room is a workspace. The precise SQL mapping is documented in docs/DATABASE_MAPPING.md.

Editing spaces and objects

The management view in the top bar lets you add, rename, delete and pocket buildings, floors and workspaces. Pocketing a floor or workspace keeps its boards, people and objects together; the pocket placement view can move the entire group to another building or floor.

The object panel lets you add and manage furniture, trees, vehicles, assistive devices, animals, flowers, roads and desktop items. Each has a name and pocket and delete actions. Choose a color from the color wheel and set width, height and depth separately. For people, edit the name, age group, team, job title, expertise and question–answer pairs. Changes are saved in the active language.

The game saves automatically during play and on exit, then loads the save on next launch. You always start in front of reception, but world edits, cards and game statistics persist.
