Love the artwork first of all. Hopefully with enough support we can expect animations in the future. The concept is intriguing, however, it would be nice if the girls could give some more inclusive (or any at all) hints as to what ingredients they like or dislike either before or after receiving drinks/developing relations would potentially draw in more supporters and less chaotic comments. The number of combinations is intriguing yet slightly overwhelming, and the names of the ingredients seemingly don't provide any context clues, they only add to the confusion. Overall neutral at the moment but I look forward to seeing how Charmed continues to develop. If it does continue. ("I hope it does")
Just curious, I unlocked all of the drink mixes and they all say 'I'm really busy today. Let's talk another time, alright?' and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now? That and Rapunzel hasn't come to the pub yet.
She comes to the pub when you DON'T open the pub :) she mentions she doesn't like crowds and the hero suggests he doesnt have to open for her to feel better
As for the rest - this is the end of this version; It's only the first one for now and every month there will be more content added (increasing with more people joining the patreon to help me fund the arts too :) )
idk if its cause my laptop is just shit ( chromebook gang btw ) but the initial loading takes a lil while, which i dont put it past you dev because its a new game... and i wont put it past me with having such a shitty OS lol. just figured id point it out in case there just so happens to be an internal problem
Thats because ive set the game to download fully before starting, else there were some bugs out of my control :( ill try to lower the size of the game, see if that helps
Am I doing something wrong or is really hard just to talk with one of the girls. I have done 2 weeks mostly giving drinks to two girls. I even found a perfect recipe to one of them which I have given her a couple of times but they still refuse to talk to me at all. Do I just need to keep giving them more drinks or what?
Core idea is solid, and art looks good. Gameplay idea seems okay, but actual play is shots in the dark. If there's a connection between what the girls want and what they say, I failed to crack the code. Would help to have an in game record of what was asked, what was offered, and the result. Or something. The gamer in me is twitchy of so many game hours skipped with nothing to show, but understand there's not yet much content for the mornings.
so far its good but i dont understand exactley what to do besides serving drinks even my hearts dont rise anymore and i played the last few ingame nights and nothing happens
Still to early development for me to give a full opinion, but right now it's 2/5 for me. Can definitely make the whole bartending thing easier vs a triple combination scavenger hunt. Also on Android id hit some error screens the first couple of times I tried bartending, but haven't seen it since closing and restarting.
No the whole game is a 2/5 because of its entirety, but like I said you're still early development with a lot of feedback so we'll see over the next few updates.
from what i played so far its great and can't wait to see more but i do agree with everyone else that the drink making need a hint system or something like that. keep up the good work and when eda the owl lady (joking on that last bit)
red wine | apple | thyme. this gives me the message: "it's like you captured the spirit of the earth in a glass - pure perfection" it appears to be the best one
edit: when i try to give her another drink, it now shows the option "perfect" above the serve button
edit2: turns out the perfect combination becomes obsolete at some point, turning into something different
edit 3: turns out there are different perfect combinations for the different messages, the perfect combinations still work for the related message
I can see the potential and inspirations for this game. Unfortunately I tried to play the browser version on Android and got stuck in the "History" menu. I also noticed there are a couple of text errors, for example I gave a custom name to the ex-GF but the game semi-crashed into the store page, and after I restored it the Narrator called her by her original name anyways.
Obviously these are somewhat expected happenings for a solo project that just released, with polish it could become a great demo.
Thank you very much! :) I'll be working hard on fixing bugs, adding more content and making the drink mixing more enjoyable - the pace and the growth of the project will depend a lot on people's trust and helping out via patreon though, of course!
i think the bug may be that certain names in locations are picked up not from a variable (custom name) but from hard coded entries, i had no crashes but Rae and Elly kept popping up despite having custom Names
I make this quick, the concept is lovely the making drinks perfectly is very difficult with the amount variety in the ingredients, and something i noticed, you have an android version of the game with no way for somone using a phone to leave the history. With improvements there is a lot of potential here.
I'll be kind here vs. giving this an undue review. The idea is there and you have my interest. That said however, making things difficult for basic content doesn't come across very well. It would be nice if there was more of a match up with what they say and the items used to make the drinks. I don't mind learning a system, but with that many variables and mixes currently... that can take some time to learn or write out since there is no in game way of keeping track of what you've tried before. I'm looking forward to more changes that make this a more enjoyable game! keep up the good work!
Thanks! I'll do my best to make it a better experience :) The first priority to add something that will feel like there's progress even if you don't get the drink right :)
How are you supposed to actually get these drinks right? "Something bold and refreshing with a spark of adventure"? How is this supposed to tell me what to mix?
Yes! :) I'm already working on making the drink mixing much easier to progress :) I'm sure there will be a walkthrough on discord eventually, but I want it to be quite fun without it too! I hope I'll reach that eventually!
It is not llike I at point of giving because the mixing is such crap shoot with no firgue it except trial and error with lil way figure what was working and what isn't I am sorry so harsh but damn it maddening when in game tips or anything to point on right direction

is there a way to hide the text block during scenes?
H doesn't work during those for me
I'll make sure you can hide it :)

I even found a perfect recipe to one of them which I have given her a couple of times but they still refuse to talk to me at all. Do I just need to keep giving them more drinks or what?
keep finding the perfect combinations, there's also some characters it won't work on yet duee to limited scenes
the game hasnt much to shoe yet we just have to be patient

Yup, working on it!
so far its good but i dont understand exactley what to do besides serving drinks even my hearts dont rise anymore and i played the last few ingame nights and nothing happens
There's not much content yet :) It's just the first initial release; the content will be added over many months to come
ohhh okay thank you :)
Takes very long to load
Can't play it yet!😒😒😒
try downloading the game instead then :)
The game is 150mb and if it downloads slow that's not my fault, either itch or your internet provider :P
Still to early development for me to give a full opinion, but right now it's 2/5 for me. Can definitely make the whole bartending thing easier vs a triple combination scavenger hunt. Also on Android id hit some error screens the first couple of times I tried bartending, but haven't seen it since closing and restarting.
2/5 because of bartending?
No the whole game is a 2/5 because of its entirety, but like I said you're still early development with a lot of feedback so we'll see over the next few updates.
from what i played so far its great and can't wait to see more but i do agree with everyone else that the drink making need a hint system or something like that. keep up the good work and when eda the owl lady (joking on that last bit)
All that this game has made me realize is that I would be a terrible bartender.
I can promise you'll be better at it after the update! :D
the only ine that i got it right
pocahintas likes
gin breeze peach nectar amd sage petal
AND WHAT CAN I SAY EXCEPT
YOUR WELCOME?
edit: OK FORGET ABOUT IT WHEN YOU FIND A GOOD ONE THEY CHANGE THE ORDER ON THE NEXT TIME
red wine | apple | thyme. this gives me the message: "it's like you captured the spirit of the earth in a glass - pure perfection" it appears to be the best one
edit: when i try to give her another drink, it now shows the option "perfect" above the serve button
edit2: turns out the perfect combination becomes obsolete at some point, turning into something different
edit 3: turns out there are different perfect combinations for the different messages, the perfect combinations still work for the related message
Can you put up 2 more pictures, some dialog and a choice? (And any other feature we should be aware of)
hey the discord isn't working
Try this! https://discord.gg/XpyEKSDn4P
Like aready said a hint system and a drink mixing help would be great. Sadly I'm currently stuck serving Essa a drink.
Did anyone find some drink combinations that work?
I can see the potential and inspirations for this game. Unfortunately I tried to play the browser version on Android and got stuck in the "History" menu. I also noticed there are a couple of text errors, for example I gave a custom name to the ex-GF but the game semi-crashed into the store page, and after I restored it the Narrator called her by her original name anyways.

i think the bug may be that certain names in locations are picked up not from a variable (custom name) but from hard coded entries, i had no crashes but Rae and Elly kept popping up despite having custom Names
Does the game auto save?
Hmmmmm, i think so!
I make this quick, the concept is lovely the making drinks perfectly is very difficult with the amount variety in the ingredients, and something i noticed, you have an android version of the game with no way for somone using a phone to leave the history.

thanks! Will make sure to address these in the update! ❤️

How are you supposed to actually get these drinks right? "Something bold and refreshing with a spark of adventure"? How is this supposed to tell me what to mix?
if you get the perfect combination, the next time you need to prepare the same thing you'll have a new button to skip the selection :)
In the next update I'll be making it easier and have a better layout telling what you've already tried and didn't work :)
I like the game so far but there is no way to exit history
Hmmm, what do you mean exit history? :o
just press esc
great start, good luck.
Great game! maybe a walkthrough in the drinks
Yes! :) I'm already working on making the drink mixing much easier to progress :) I'm sure there will be a walkthrough on discord eventually, but I want it to be quite fun without it too! I hope I'll reach that eventually!
It is not llike I at point of giving because the mixing is such crap shoot with no firgue it except trial and error with lil way figure what was working and what isn't I am sorry so harsh but damn it maddening when in game tips or anything to point on right direction
I can only repeat that I'll work on making it a more fun experience :)
It's a free game and it's just the initial release - I'm just one person. Please take that into your calculations while getting frustrated over it. :)
I am sorry to do critical it just tough when only way to progress
