Cool concept. Have wanted to try one of these Bartender games a try for a while, so I might as well. I'll give some detailed gameplay feedback later and stick to just what I see.
MC is cute. The small bust-big hips really is a banger look, and one not done nearly enough. I can kinda see why people might think she's a femboy but IMO it really only applies if you're looking at thumbnails of her.
I hope the ratio of anthro to human/human-like customers is kept around a 50/50 ratio (though being completely honest, my personal preference ratio would be closer to 1% anthro-99 human/human-like, but obviously I'm not everyone, lmao.) One feature I might suggest (in ignorance, since I haven't played yet) would be a "skip this customer" option that lets you keep progressing.
When is the Mobile version?
it’s in development 😅 I’ve taken a breather from this game to participate in another NSFW Minijam
Ok that makes sense.
Make sure you don't overwork yourself, wish you the best of luck👍.
great game bro! good luck in the future!
thank you ^^
Shame its not on mobile
I’m working on a build for Mobile today, it might not be perfect though, hoping I can get it finished tonight too 😅
This was fuuuun
it’s so fun to watch others play my game for the first time ^^ I also found a few bugs I can fix in this video.
AY BRO I FOUND YOU for info I watch your vids. Fellow comrade.. you've done well keep it up 💪
Thanks for the support brother! :)
why the fuck are you still downloading porn games/mods and posting it on YouTube where kids can watch it.
You can not deny that you have touched your penis to this shit.
Aye it's my old friend Christmas lover! What's up buddy, how's life treating ya?!
way better than you being harassed for posting porn games you censored on YouTube.
Lmao it's alright buddy, life goes on. Ya know? Have a great day :]
you can’t run away from your problems pal.
Downloaded this thinking Hazel was a femboy.
I'm highly dissapointed.
Please make it clear they are not a femboy.
I’m sorry to hear that, I will try to make it more clear for now, but in the future it’s very possible I will have a toggle for Hazel’s gender in the future. But progress is slow
I wasn't expecting a response, as my comment wasn't all too serious, but much appreciated.
Dude this game is hot asf man w dude
The only improvement i see needs is maybe better ui cuz current ui is kinda messy
yes I have some notes on how to improve UI, and to declutter the screen a bit. I am glad you like it ^^
This game is amazing (like play as bartender and gawddayummhot arse and every thing is so perfect lol and a ui update next update would be great ! )
Hope u make more quality content future!
The art style is amazing and i love the animations!! The game is fun and not hard at all, i like it!! I got just two questions..
1. Is there gonna be more adn when?
2. If yes. What else are you thinking to add? (spoil us a little)
hello ^^ thank you. There is going to be more. I don't have any concrete dates because my work schedule is cramped and hardly gives any time for gamedev.(basically my weekend, which is one day a week) You can join my discord where i show off more frequent updates about the game.
more sex scenes are in the works but they will take some time(possibly not ready by 0.3) I've been working on accessibility and quality of life features this patch. Key rebinding's, halfway decent settings and game save system. I also have a homemade dialogue box, I've made the drink making process more natural and centered in the bar area. I've created a decent data management system for handling future ingredient logic as well as a ton of other boring optimizations. I've also took mixing drinks from the blending drinks to actually using a drink shaker.
I would summarize 0.3 as the foundation update, because the code was a chaotic mess at the end of the game jam I had to build the game from the ground up to even think about making this into a full game. My goal was to reduce dependencies of features, which means I can tweak or completely change one feature without breaking another now.
The very rough roadmap, some things don't have specified dates, like mobile compatibility, which i will probably work on in smaller weekly updates.
0.4: Add Cooking to the game add more depth to ingredients and drink making logic to become even more in line with IRL. And start adding features that actually make it a business management game. cash, ingredient purchasing, equipment purchasing, (stuff to spend cash on)
0.5 Liquid Physics, because it would be so much more fun to actually see the liquid pour from the bottle than to just have it be deposited into the cup. new cup types, re-integrate smoothies into the game.
0.6 and beyond, With every update I want to make a leap in both user experience and new content(both horny content and gameplay content), I want more fleshed out characters, and more characters, and story will be a 0.7 or 0.8 thing, there are lots of little things i want to work on like "tasks" as in if you spill some liquid on the counter, you should clean it up, or washing dishes so you dont run out of glasses to use.
Oooh i can't wait!! I will save the game in my list and check for updates, i will be waiting!!
Thanks for the answer btw.
come for goat
stay for funny gameplay
-Me 2 month ago (i forgot to comment)
edit:(i play it muted lol)
haha, stay tuned, i'm still working on 0.3 ^^ many quality of life features to come.
Will there be a version for Android?
I have been considering controller support, but I have not done android builds before. I will look into it after i finish 0.3
Loved the art! Does Bleergh have any socials where they post more of their work?
I asked Bleergh, they do not have any NSFW social media
That's a shame, would have loved to see more from them. Thanks for askin, though!
I downloaded the game thinking the protagonist was a femboy, but in any case I really liked the game, the gender doesn't change the game experience much for me.
Anyway, I hope that in the future the game will have an option where you can choose the protagonist's sexuality, that would be really cool for people who really wanted a femboy XD
it is a common occurrence, the thought came across my mind to add an option for gender. It is up to my artist if they are up for it, but it would probably be a welcome feature
is there a social media i can follow for updates on this game?
I am planing on releasing a Patreon and Kickstarter soon, like in the next few hours. I’l look into discord options, but my main focus for now is preparing the next update. I’m not entirely sure how to handle social media’s as a team lead because it’s my first successful game but I’m trying my best 😅
MORE
ADD MORE
😂 I love your enthusiasm, we are working on adding more content from gameplay to horny. I expect the next major update to be around the first of the month
Is that a femboy goat as the MC?
This is PHENOMENAL, especially so considering it's for a jam. I'll be watching the progress of this with great interest! Very well done <3
If you could add a Gallery for the NSFW scenes, that'd be sweet:)
Also I can't be the only person who thought the protag was a femboy;-;
A main menu is in the works, a gallery would be a great addition to the menu I think.
The misunderstanding is unfortunately common. I did not intend to mislead anyone about the game’s content. this problem does not have a clear solution yet
No problems dude:) If anything I thought the 'misunderstanding' was pretty funny after I found out! Also about the main menu, can't wait! I'm looking forward to future updates!
This is really impressive given that it came from a game jam! I'm actually kind of blown away by how well put together it is from such a short development time. I really hope you're able to continue working on it. I know I'll be keeping an eye out!
This feels like a surgeon simulator mixed with VA11 HALL-A right now.
The animations are very nice. One major thing I have to complain about is that the orange and peach look too similar.
For some of the less important stuff, replaying scenes feels a bit annoying, it's hard to judge where you need to right-click to pour a drink, and having 3 glasses right now doesn't seem to matter.
Thank you for your feedback! It is the most useful tool I have for improving the game. I cannot read the mind of the thousands of players who play the game. So I rely on people like you who give feedback.
I am also not happy with the kitchen mechanics that I have made. I am currently reworking the drink making aspect of the game to feel more natural than throwing ingredients into a blender.
I agree about there not being a use for three glasses. But this issue should go away when I rework the ordering system. I had initially thought of a quick fix that would give you combo points for giving drinks to customers in a short period of time. This however does not fix the underlying issue of the gameplay loop, which, like you mentioned, is lacking depth.
In the future I will do my best to give clear Visual and Audio indicators.
its awesome!
i hope in the future will added futanari
Yes, loved your game and I especially loved the bartenders facial expressions in the animations. If there's ever gonna be more updates for this, I'm interested, other than that, a solid mini jam entry.
oh we have Big plans for this game :3 I can’t tell any details yet because we’re still in the planing phase. Every aspect of the game is being looked at for improvement.
This game is not very trackpad friendly. I can't right click and left click at the same time on my computer
i have gotten this complaint a few times, i'm working on a hotfix that will add a fix for this problem
Thank you for the quick reply! I found a mouse lying around and was able to finish the demo. I really like the art style and I think this is a fantastic start. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with :)
id love some feet content if u get a chance but i love the art style
I appreciate your feedback, NSFW scenes are very time consuming, from art to code to SFX.
With our lack of funds, it’s quite difficult to make content for everyone, there are so many kinks and preferences. But hopefully that will change when we launch our Kickstarter and Patreon.
i apologize for the rushed tutorial, i am planning a more in depth interactive tutorial, i am also trying to conceptualize more straightforward kitchen mechanics.
there was a narrator supposed to explain these mechanics but there are numerous bugs i'm trying to fix right now.
1. the cups in the bar are the same cups in the kitchen, they are automatically transferred between kitchen and bar.
2. The customers are asking for their desired ingredients in a drink, fruit and ice can be dropped(or smashed) into the blender, and the colored bottles can be poured into the blender by right clicking over the blender with a bottle in hand.
3. Press the button on the blender stand, with the blender on the stand, when the blender is done mixing it will be ready to pour into a glass, you can then hold the blender over a cup and right click to pour.
i hope this helps
Hi! Got the game but I've been getting this issue :
------------------------------
Condition "err != VK_SUCCESS && err != VK_SUBOPTIMAL_KHR" is true. Returning: FAILED
------------------------------
Probably stems from my computer not being compatible with vulkan for some reason but the fix apparently seems to be rendering it with the "compatibility" option.
The artwork looks amazing so id love to try it if you can fix it!
hope to see new projects soon or this one get expanded upon ^^
hello! thank you for the detailed bug report, i'm putting out a lot of technical fires right now, i will attempt to get a compatibility export out sometime today
No worries!
Take all the time you need, taking breaks inbetween also boosts productivity, so dont go too hard on yourself.
Have a nice day ^^
Hotfix has been released with Compatibility mode, thank you for your patience, let me know if anything else goes wrong.
will we get a femboy version?
I literally thought the protagonist was a femboy
i can discuss this with my artist. but i think we're all taking a short break, working 12+ hours for 9 days was exhausting
Show post...
it wont load and says not responding.
could you tell me a little about the device you're using to run the game?
Show post...
a win 11 pc. with more than enough power
I’m working on a fix that should hopefully work for everyone. Several optimizations and logic checks have been implemented. It may be a day before it’s ready.
I have released the hotfix, I was running into Process loading spikes and i fixed them, i also changed the renderer to a more widely compatible type, i hope this will fix your problem
