I'm back...

Alright, sorry for the radio silence, but I am back. Had to get things sorted out and the weekly still working on it posts seemed patronizing and needed to just not for a bit for my mental health. So how has the work on Barkeeper been, basically I have spent the last few months trying to just write the entire game, since I have felt artistically dead and kept scrapping art because I wasn't happy with it. So far I have written most of the hangouts, all of the garden, a decent chunk of the park...

Internet has returned!

Been spending my several weeks without either thinking or working on the game, once my power was back on and I made sure my house wasn't going to catch fire due to any water damage from the storm I booted up my PC and began writing out a lot of the games areas. So that is my update on the game, if you want to know about me or don't care then the next bit of text is explaining my current situation.

Hurricane Ian ripped through my area quite badly, I am luckily inland enough that I didn't...

Post 9-5-22

Alright gonna make this short and sweet about what I have done since the last post.

Park event fashion show writing finished, park event magician mostly finished(transformation events still need to be made later). park event concert mostly finished, park event play mostly finished. More hangouts written(Ash and a few for Mom). Redoing a few areas such as the onsen, I felt that the panoramic of the onsen just didn't feel right, so instead I wanted to go for individual pinups when you int...

Update news 8-22-22

Hello Everybody, decided to just call this update news since weekly seems to not happen. Power is out and internet is off so writing this on my phone so no pictures...

This week I spent a decent chunk of time only on art, most of the sketches are done for the next update and several pictures just need some touch ups, the writing is a hit or miss on where I worked since I would jump between sections any time I got a hint of inspiration that would let me get work done. Due to incredible...

Weekly Update 8-8-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update.

Been working on sketches this week and have been getting back into a proper schedule. My thought process lately has been to push for completing the writing for a lot of the content of the game and swing though with art as I can finish it. So the game would be done a lot sooner than the art would. I am hoping this allows me to finish things instead of leaving them half finished.

Well not much to say, will try to have some art t...

Update on what's going on

Hey Everyone, this is just an update on me disappearing for a month without word, so if you're just waiting for a game update you still have a bit of waiting.

For the past month I have been working, my actual work, not so much on the game. It has been taking up so much of my energy that at the end of the day and on days off I have done very little work, this combined into me just not talking about it for the weekly update. The work that has been done is mainly text and not so much art...

Weekly Update 6-27-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update.

Missed last weeks update because there wasn't a whole lot to talk about, even this week with the past two weeks there isn't all that much. Over the last two weeks I have been continuing the writing for the weekend events as well as a few other minor events, as for art I have finished the linework of a few more images and will be coloring them this week. I have been getting a lot of art block lately so I am glad to have made some progres...

Ramble because it's not really an update

Hello Everybody, the last several weekly updates have not really been updates so I'm not bothering to call it one this week. Instead I am going to lay out a bit of a roadmap of things I am either working on or will be working on, not even going to bother to just put down art cause that is a given.

Things being worked on:

Garden, Park events, onsen, work events, hangouts.

Planned:

Potions(Futa, Bimbo, lactation, and breast enlargement so far), Weekend events(Continued),...

Weekly Update 6-7-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. Feel asleep for an afternoon nap yesterday and woke up at 5am today so I missed yesterdays update.

Last week I was sick so not a lot was done and most of what was done was sketches, I've been incredibly slow with the art and for that I apologize. I will be continuing to work on the art as I can and hopefully finish more of it in a more timely manner. 

School in my local area has finally let out so I am no longer waking up at ...

Ugh...No weekly update this week.

About 3 days ago I keeled over with food poisoning and have basically done no work, no weekly update just this minor update. Sorry, thought the milk was still good. 

Weekly Update 5-23-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update,

Another week another bit of progress, plus a SFW'd version of an image for the update.

Not gonna bore anyone with a rant about progress so see you next week. 

PS: I am on 3 hours of sleep today so sorry for the short update. 

Weekly Update 5-16-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update.

Over the past two weeks there has been a lot of stress from a lot of sources, and work on Barkeeper was slow and I only managed to finished a few images. As most of you should know Barkeeper is a side project(gig?) that I do as partly a hobby and partly to put my ideas to light, so work on it often takes a back seat so that I can keep the lights on. I know it sounds like just an excuse but it's one of the main reason that all content I ...

Weekly Update 5-2-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. This week is mainly just a still working on Barkeeper update so you can probably skip it.

Earlier in the week I did release version 0.12 on Itch but it was a partial update missing several scenes pictures, those I am currently working on and will hopefully not take long.

I really don't have much to say this week, have been feeling unwell for a few days so hopefully I feel better after some rest. See you all next weekly update.&nbs...

Weekly update 4-25-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. Doing this from my phone because my internet is out for the next few days because comcast sucks.

The update is pretty much finished exvept for some final touches to art. I plan to release the update as soon as possible despite missing some art because this is taking too long. Within the update is the hangouts writing, up to chapter 3 writing for the magician park event as well as most of chapter 4(chapter 4 only reachable with the stat...

Weekly Update 4-11-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update.

Have had a busy week and the coming week will be just as busy, though my workspace is getting a few upgrades so I'm sure work will improve. I believe I am done writing for this update for now, I may do more but it's not a priority, right now I am focused heavily on finishing the art for the update. Most is either close or at the very least sketched out and just needs finishing up. This update certainly was writing centric but I'm hoping...

Weekly Update 4-4-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update.

Got a bit distracted from art this week, though that's a bit of the point of the update being non-linear is that I can be without it affecting the update. I got ideas on how to do certain things and one of the things that I got ideas for was the Magic show park event, not only did I write up until chapter 3 but also just outright finished all of the writing for the event. Normally for an update I would limit these distractions to make t...

Weekly Update 3-28-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. 

The lovely lady in the second picture is Dahlia, I went for a slightly shortstack vibe and will carry that through all of her scenes, not only that but this is also the first of many pinup images that will be used during some conversations with her. I plan to have a few different randomized versions so she will be in different poses(some sexy some more casual).

Writing this week has had a lot of progress and I'm close to fin...

Weekly Update 3-21-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update.

Another week, another round of writing and art. Getting very close to another release and will be working overtime to try to get everything ready for testing. The good thing about testing is that pretty much everything is an instant test to see if things work. 

I won't be going off about all the little things I've done this week since I didn't get much sleep last night, the hangouts are almost all written, the only one left i...

Weekly Update 3-14-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. 

Another week of busywork, finishing more writing and several images, though I did get a bit sidetracked because I commissioned some music for the Onsen and the composer wanted something to show off with it. So if you're in the discord you might have seen the calming soak of Steph in the onsen video in the barkeeper development channel. The music was done by Jacob Cook from 2022-03-14 23:57:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Weekly Update 3-7-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. 

This week has been a busy one, I found a massive amount of bugs and mistakes to fix, did you know that I wrote content for the topless barmaid, maid, and cut school swimsuit and it wasn't accessible because I forgot to change a common event. So that will be accessible, though still need more images. I wrote the first batch of hangouts, Ava has all of her hangouts written and took a more wholesome? approach to her scenes, not that ...

Weekly Update 2-28-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. 

Another week of writing and a lot more progress has been made, the one thing that I figured out while writing this week is a small post game event that I think will really bring the rest of the game together. The main reason I am thinking about the post story content is that I am structuring the game so that even once you've completed the story you will still have a lot of content to play around with and experience. I am also focu...

Weekly Update 2-21-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. I missed last week mainly due to just not feeling well and not having anything special planned for Valentines day.

Well these last two weeks I have been working on more art and writing, Had to spend a few days rewriting the Garden events due to realizing I set it all up wrong and it should now actually function. Getting close to where I can focus solely on art again.

I have also completed my PC build so part of my time was spent t...

Weekly Update 2-7-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update.

Over the past week I've been working on minor bugfixes and a bit more writing for side content as well as sketches for some of the content already written. I plan to finish up a certain amount of art and put out a release but I have no timeframe for when this might happen so really just mentioning it as a gameplan. I honestly think there are only a few specialized updates that I need to plan for in the future, namely the Park events, re...

Weekly Update 1-31-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. Olivia decided to get into the Valentine's day spirit a day early and hopes that the chocolate does not drip before the month is out(sorry but it probably will survive).

The garden event is written and I've been focusing on art for the past few days, especially the old art, so I hope to have some things to show in the next week or so. Not really much to say since other than finishing some writing not much has happened over the last week...

Weekly Update 1-24-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. 

Another week, another micro-update about small things that have been worked on. I honestly dread my weekly update model because of these small updates without any substance, but I also feel like it's a way for people to see that I do still think about everything each and every week so that project isn't dead like so many others. 

The Garden event is almost finished with writing, just have a few little events to polish u...

Weekly update 1-17-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. 

The boring days of writing continue, this we I have been focusing on the Garden and am close to finished, the garden I don't want to have a huge storyline connected to it, so I plan to have you be able to reach the final bits of its content by chapter 3. The first chapter introducing the Dokkebi, small trickster creatures who mess with Steph as she does her gardening, the later chapters increasing her interaction with these creatu...

Weekly Update 1-10-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update. 

Barkeeper is still in the early stages of a new development cycle so most of the work has been minor fixes and some writing, I wanted to get a bunch of the things I've been wanting to write out of the way so that I can focus on art again like I did with the last update, though I don't want to stack the art so heavily that I begin to burn out. So far I've laid out how I want a few smaller events to go, such as the hangouts with dif...

Barkeeper V0.11b update

Hello Everybody....do you know the saying, can't see the forest through the trees. Well that's what this bugfix update is. The fix that I did for the townhall quest several updates ago didn't break, I just made the shopkeeper actually do something in a different update and forgot a requirement. The alchemy shop is now locked behind the town hall quest, so please talk to Dahlia when you're done goofing around. Update should work with existing saves. Still uploading too itch but should be up so...

Weekly update 1-3-22

Hello Everybody and welcome back to weekly update in 2022! Also immediately typed the date wrong when making this so hopefully I remember next time. 

Barkeeper got a minor bugfix update to hopefully fix the town hall loop, something I had fixed in a previous update but somehow came back. Beyond that I have only done a few minor pieces of work, I haven't even redid the trello board since I wanted a few days off since the holidays are finally over. 

So let's recap my goals...

Barkeeper V0.11 Release day!

Hello Everybody, down to the wire on releasing this year but I managed to do it!

This update took so much longer than I wanted it to but it was mainly because I made a lot of content that won't be in the update...

So what happened was that every time I created the scenes for the update I would also do the future update scenes as well since I have the basic image already made and it needs slight alterations, this meant I was able to do 3 chapters worth of work for the cost of an ex...
