New Game Announcement! π€©
🕑 Added 2022-11-30 18:28:30 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
For several months now in our news you have been seeing mentions of some new unannounced project that we are working hard on, and you are probably wondering what it could be. We deliberately delayed the official announcement until we were sure the first build would be ready soon, and now that moment has come!
What is this game about
It's a game about a bar, a hot bartender, bar stories, and good booze!
Neon Blago bar is hidden in the alleys of Chicago, attracting passersby with its neon sign lights, and once inside, it's impossible to refrain from having a drink, especially since the customers are met by a hospitable and sexy bartender.
At Neon Blago you get to meet many interesting bar visitors and hear their extraordinary stories. The stories of all Ruby's guests are unique, they can be funny, sad, exciting and even mystical, contain a lot of hot intimate details and have an unexpected ending.
Besides customers who share stories from their lives or stories they overheard somewhere, there will be regulars at the bar who love to gossip, tell an anecdote or a story, mention some hot episode from their lives.
As for a good booze, it's up to you to make it! The happier the customer, the bigger the tip! And you still need to find a key to the lingering customers who are ready to tell their stories, and mix a special cocktail for them.
Genres and Kinks
The game is at the junction of several genres, among which we can mention a bartender simulator and visual novel elements, which are featured in the narration of the visitors' stories.
In Neon Blago, the players will be able to feel themselves in the shoes of a bartender and then the manager of the bar. Drinks and cocktails will loosen guests' tongues and you will witness the innermost secrets of their lives, together with them plunge into their memories, excitements, pleasures.
We plan to involve a lot of different kinks, because the stories of bar guests can be very diverse, from quite ordinary, to the ones that you can never tell sober! So these stories may include innocuous kinks as well as something extraordinary that's hard to believe.
The Protagonist
Our protagonist, Ruby, is as sexy as she is smart, but she also loves sex, open to experimentation, and not embarrassed by anything. She knows how to approach and adjust to any man, pretend to be silly or play the intellectual, if the circumstances require it. She has an elaborate background which will be important to the central plot of the game.
Further plans for the game
- We plan to create a lot of vibrant customers with their own compelling stories, each in their own visual style.
- Besides customers' stories, Neon Blago will have an end-to-end storyline.
- We plan to add interactions within the bar between the main character and other bar staff in future.
- There may also be an economic component: the opportunity to spend earned money for the development of the bar and hiring new employees.
- The number of bar employees will grow with the course of the story.
- The gameplay won't be limited by one drink-making game, we plan to create several different bar mini-games which will diversify the gameplay.
- And we also want to regularly add nice little things: skins for the main character and possibly for the other bar staff, new drinks every chapter, funny Easter eggs, additional art with the characters of the stories you like.
When to expect the first build
We focus on the near future, but we won't promise any specific dates just yet, though we will try to stick to our internal deadlines.
First build for patrons comes pretty soon, we expect to release it before the end of the year.
Perhaps we'll prepare an early build for high tier patrons, but again, we won't promise it in advance.
In any case, it remains to wait just a little bit!
Android version and localization
We plan to release a PC and Android version at once.
The game is being prepared for localization, if you want to take part in the translation into your native language β write to us in Discord (https://discord.gg/EGZXXaY)!
Plans for other game projects
As you know, we are working on several other games. You are probably most interested in our plans for the Tame It and its possible sequel!
Sooo...The big news about the sequel to Tame It! is coming out already next week! π
We work hard to show you something as soon as possible. So stay tuned!
And many of you are probably wondering β βWhat about the game you announced back in the spring, what about (non)trivial!?β.
We haven't stopped work on it, but it's still in the early stages of development. A lot of visual elements are still in the concept stage, but a lot has already been done: the character concepts, the storyline for the Intro and the Prologue, the locations were designed and created, the storyboard was drawn and much more.
We're really serious about this project and we want to release the first build only when we're confident in the visual style of the whole game. Now a lot depends on the choice of visual style, you can think of us as perfectionists, but we want to make something absolutely amazing, not only from the plot side, but also from the visuals. Therefore, we'll work on it slowly but systematically moving forward!
Thanks to everyone who has stayed with us all this time and keeps believing in us! We appreciate this really much and are very grateful to all of you! ππ
