Brewing drinks

Asking for some thoughts on brewing. I added a brewing mechanic because I wanted some management aspect to the game and I've never really been happy with the results. So I wanted to reach out to all of you to get your opinions and share my options.

I can keep trying to get the current brewing system right and come up with a little engaging game for it. Something to make it slightly more fun or meaningful.

I can make it so drinks no longer cost anything. Let IO do the drinks. Inst...

Weekly Update: Swag fucker edition

Just working on the minigame. I hate working on the minigame. But soon the minigame will be over and I can do more writing scenes again.

Look at this swag fucker. God damn. Is that an Amynda de Clothique (for men) suit? This asshole has some money. They say the only good job in the grimdark future of cyberpunk knockoff universe is security and "they" were right when they said that. You know what else "they" say? A man with a nice suit probably has a nice wallet...

Public Update

I put the release to be tentatively for the 21st, but I was slow with the scripting so I'm delaying to the 28th. I'm confident it'll be out by the 28th.

I'm doing the update public because I always get a lot of new people a few days before the update and I didn't want anyone to be surprised or let down.

Weekly Update: On time for once edition

Not much to share. I'm building out more of the waitress mini-game. I'm very happy with the art and the cut-ins Genno made this go-around.

I'm also starting the request for the next order. Currently deciding on what Catherine's bikini will look like... Gotta wear something once the sewer pool room is repaired.

Weekly Update: Cyborgs closing in Edition

Hey. So I have the update tentatively set for... the 21st! Jesus... So Genno is way ahead on the art. It's all in now. So all I have to do is just do all the scripting for the mini-game. It's not super hard it's just a lot of work.

Next up I'll be working on more sewer action as well as filling out existing scenes and looking for more cut-ins and after waitress scenes. The cyborgs represent a long time plan of mine: one of the true endings. For Catherine to really escape and get a new ...

Weekly Update: Post nut clarity edition.

So testing out the purple text went over well. I'm going to be going back into all the old dialogue and adding that back in.

I had voice acting added to the bartending game but got too overwhelmed writing the big update scene that I didn't have time to put it in. So that'll make it in with the next update. I'm slowly exploring other sound effects as well as I find them to add. Odd that I spend Saturday nights looking up, "window sound effect squeak under two seconds".

Weekly Update: Grindstone edition

I have nothing major to update everyone on. I got sick last week with a stomach bug. It slowed me down, but I don't expect that will delay the update.

I'm also working with the pixel artist on cyborg sprites and updating some of the details about the bar I think could use polish.

Hope you are all having a good week. See you for update day.

Weekly Update: No Flash Photography Edition

The big update everyone has been waiting for is on the way. The art is done now it's just a matter of writing this very long scene. I never write the dialogues till the art is finished. I like to look at the images while writing the dialogue to make it best match the actual tone and not just what I assume I'm going to get.

I was actually talking to the game's main voice actress about this the other day. That, generally, I don't have a lot of crazy specific needs of how she interprets a...

Weekly Update: Responsibilities edition.

I updated the Patreon and the Itch pages for the release date. I accidentally added 6 weeks from the public release date rather than the patreon release.

Anyway soon is the big sex update. This will be a scene that takes place based on corruption and will happen after the last training scene. This update will also focus on a lot of spring cleaning of previous scenes to tighten them up a bit. The sex scene itself will likely be the longest scene yet. They are honestly quite challenging t...

Weekly Update: Put 'em on the glass edition

Next update is this Friday. I've got generic chud sprites coming in this week I might be able to squeeze into this update. I'm also working on polishing existing scenes. The update after this one is the sex update. I don't have anything else to report other than that I'm looking forward to writing that next scene for whoever the lucky guy is...

Whatever Day Today Is Update: M'bartender edition.

So I was about to write a poll. The poll was going to say, "Hey... I'm thinking about writing branching paths for the story beyond my current design. People have asked for an IO only route among other things. But it would also be a ballache... and it might take away from the story and..." then I stopped. I'm not going to do a poll if the poll is basically "please vote for the one I want".

So instead it's a clarification post. Generally this game will have a major story related to the c...

Sunday Update: Mecha Chongo Edition

First off let me tell you how happy I am to be working with https://twitter.com/MichSpich for this pixel art. They really did capture the essence of Chongo here. They are hammering out these sprites real fast. I'll have the entire cast of the game re-done in no time. If you need pixel art for any reason I would suggest hiring them.

I'm also happy to say that all the art for the next update is in. So I have two whole w...

Sunday Update: No edition edition.

I have now have new pixel sprites for every lady in the game and am now working on getting custom sprites for the chuds. Genno is also working on more standing pictures for chuds, cyborgs, generic chuds, chud group, and etc. Lots of filling in the gaps in addition to the new scenes.

I hope to have Catherine's first sex scene in the update after this next one. Then I'll work on adding more art to the waitress game. Then I'll swing back into the sewer and start working on some scenes down...

Sunday Update: More pixel art.

Hey. On time for once. New Catherine with a little bit of that jiggle. 

Before the next update I'll have an updated pixel sprite for every female character in the game. No more default rpgmaker character assets. 

I'm now working on a mechanic to skip the bar-tender game by having someone else tend the bar. I'm also building the first post-waitress scene. Waitress requires a minimum corruption level to unlock so the scenes for waitress will immediately start out with grop...

Monday Update: Pixel Art Edition

Everyone. Do you know what I'm good at? I'm good at writing erotica. I'm good at finding creative commons music. And I'm good at finding amazing artists.

Version 0.3d (heh, the d) is out for all Patreons

The Waitress Update:  To unlock the new game just follow the normal upgrades as you would. At high corruption the waitress game will also go topless with customers able to grope with many poses. Future cut-ins and post bar events are planned similar to the bar tending game. Feedback is welcome (though terrifying) this is my first stab at a whole new mini game and honestly it's way beyond what I ever thought I would make in complexity.

Sunday Update: 1 Week From Release Edition

Hey everyone,

Thank you all for the patience. All the scripting for this mini-game ended up being a lot more work than I anticipated. I'm all caught up now and after this I'll be resuming more regular updates. 

I'm excited for the first time everyone unlocks the new game mode and hears the music I've chosen for this event.

Sunday Update: Grinding Edition

Working my ass off over here to see if I can get this update out in a week. In addition I've also been looking up some sound effects so add some extra responsiveness to the waitress game. 

Genno went in a different direction with the backgrounds choosing to do a cleaner backdrop than the bar game. I'm curious what people think of the more simplified direction. 

For an actual update: The actual mini-game is functioning and in the game. Now I'm just adding in extra bits fo...

(M)Sunday Update: Cyborgs being dudes

I'm going to be short. I'm tired. In a good way. But I'm still tired. First off here is a preview of the cyborg design. I decided to go with this scary Oni mask kind of deal for them. I can play with this design more as I build out the named cyborgs. 

Also I wanted to thank everyone who supported during the update delay. No one wants to see a project enter development hell and I've always held myself to really high standards for updates. In my mind all support would vanish if I was...

Sunday Update: Shameful Monday Edition

Art continues to roll in for the new update and the mini-game is back with the programmer to help integrate the art assets for the first part of the game. 

So rather than keep the mini-game from everyone I'll give a brief description here. You pick a table to take the order from, then you get a drink order of 3 random drinks. A timer starts and you have an amount of time to select the drinks. They appear on the nifty tray shown above. Depending on how fast you picked the drinks Cat...

Sunday Update: Happy New Year Edition

First off I'm happy to ring in the New Year with everyone. I would say that I'm real wound up about the current delays, but honestly I'm just enjoying the holiday. However, most of the art is in and now I'm just doing all the detail work to get the waitress game up and running. 

By this time next year the game should be at least at v0.6. I think it'll be further ahead than that because I can afford to order even more art than previous and I don't intend on any major complex mechani...

Sunday Update: Delays Edition

Just so everyone knows the tentative release of the 22nd is not going to happen. I'm going to make this post public just for extra visibility. I've recently gotten an influx if patreons the week before an update and I want everyone to see the delay news.

Nothing dramatic is happening behind the scenes. It's just your usual holiday season stuff slowing everything down. Like I mentioned before UI design is outside of our normal wheelhouse so there is a lot of back and forth between me and...
