Barkeeper
🕑 Added 2019-11-02 03:21:58 +0000 UTCSo uh, I decided to release the demo to that game I keep mentioning, Barkeeper(Working title), and you can grab it on F95. The game has almost no content, is almost purely a tech demo, and the cover art is only there because I needed a second image to post on F95.
I'll be honest, posting a tech demo makes me very nervous because I know a lot of people don't care for them, but I hope that it highlights that the game may be fun to play.
Barkeeper is a sandbox, every scene will be repeatable, there is no content you can miss and will feature quite a lot of groping. I changed the description of my patreon to reflect everything planned and what's in the game, which is almost nothing, but the planned content is the thing that should be considered going in. Right now I have the basis for most things, I have common events tied to costumes, the ability to change costumes which changes sprites, I have a few scenes that will randomly play(15% for tits, 15% for ass being gropped and the rest is nothing) though that may be too high or low, we'll see. I plan to have a time system which relates to events that will occur, days of the week where certain customers are more prevalent(Maybe your commanding officer will show up from your time in the army). I have so much planned, and my biggest drawback is I suck at art(Look at cover art on F95 for reference) but I do plan to hire someone to do art, likely on commission since I don't think I'll be making enough to cover my expenses and theirs any time soon.
Well, I rambled on quite a bit, if you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to leave them down below. Want to play a tech demo? go pick it up on F95. I will see you all on Monday for weekly update, gonna work on Lilia now since I spent my day off working on Barkeeper.

Checked out the demo on f95, definitely hits on my kinks, but I'm going to wait a bit until you prove yourself as a dev before hopping on the patreon bandwagon (bad experience with another translator turned dev). Couple thoughts. 18 costumes: That's uhhh... very ambitious. If you're serious about doing that many, they're either going to have minimal unique content and feel pointless most of the time, or you're going to be spending a LOT of time on scene variants. As someone who helps a bit with additional writing for a game and understands how much time variations can take, my advice is to cut it down to 4, maybe 6, initially. After you've got a feel for how much depth you're going to go into with them start adding in others (assuming you still want to). Harassment chances: Consider making it a customizable setting. It'd be easy enough to make both those weights user inputted variables, and that will allow the user to choose harassment frequency based on their preferences (a suggested frequency would still be desired though). If you want to go more in depth, you can make it so the weight can be customized for each outfit (logical as some outfits will presumably have better access to tits, and others will offer easy ass access). Also has the added benefit of appealing to players who want to see more of one location than the other. If you're interested in the per-outfit options, you can easily do that by renaming 'attack' to 'ass harassment' and 'defense' to 'chest harassment' and setting up a spot for customizing the outfit's stats. It'd also allow for permanent boosts through event choices (increase of the base stat) if that interests you. If you're looking for additional random encounters for the park, consider a hypnotist performing there. It'd offer a fair amount of exhibitionist type potential (hypnotized to flash, strip, etc), which seems like it'd fit the feel of what you're going for. May be worth considering adding a stage to the bar as an upgrade (much) later on, and being able to recruit some of the park acts (which would naturally have a chance of interacting with the PC while working). Feel free to contact me on f95 if desired, I use the same handle there and have commented in the thread.
