A great update from the crafting Menu!

Before you ask anything, yes, we have some kind of crafting menu, you know, where you can mix all the stuff that you have available in your inventory, well... at the start we were just testing how the mechanics of the beers were going to work, so we just did the feature very quickly and then work on other stuff like the interactions with all the different clients that will come everyday in your bar... this is how it looked in the beggining:



After we finished how to handle those interactions, we went back to the core of the game (you can call it "the main fun") and actually re-did everything!

And now not only we added the feature to mix stuff (and those are the variables that we plan to use for the moment, if you have a better idea... well give them please), but actually updated the visuals too! Here is how much it changed:





Hope you enjoyed the new changes! Feedback is always welcome!

PS Sorry for not updating since 1 month, but the Keeper Team have been busy with other projects, and also working on the game that we forgot to update the site, but we will try to be more constant.

Introduction to the game

So yeah, we speak a lot about our game, this game, that game, but exactly, what the heck are we working? Well, our game "Leave a Tip" or how the team nickname it right now "Project BT" (but maybe you find it kinda redundant to have a nickname when we already have a name, but we like to be special! At least me...), it's a game where you play the role of a Bartender and basically the whole game is to take care of your bar... sounds way too basic right? If it weren't because the real meat of the game is the narrative, then sure, so, how exactly is this narrative interesting?

Can't tell ya exactly right now, because if I would, my team would punch me like that time that I deleted all the posts! And let me tell you, having my butt beaten virtually wasn't good... physical violence is so 2000.

What? I didn't said anything? I still left you with doubts? You think all we do is just play games all day and not make them? Ok then... I guess I can give you a screenshot... here you go... a treat from my part, and don't worry, it's just pre-pre-alpha, we will add a lot of stuff later, for the moment, enjoy:




My introduction: Edude0j9

I'm just the guy who currently manages the coding behind the game, and implemeting the mechanics, so if there is a bug or something related, you already know who to blame, and so do the team (but please, have mercy).
Also it looks like I will be the guy who will be posting here frequently, and not deleting the content... sorry for that...

Sergio

Hello I'am Sergio and part of the Keeper Team, I've done the level design, also a bit of programming and assets. Don't let your memes be dreams.

Here comes Goombazo

My name is Alex, but I am also known as Goombazo. Why? Well, it's a long story (actually, it isn't). I'm currently the team's composer, and thus, I am working on the soundtrack, along with the sound effects, for "Leave a Tip". This is my first official game project, so I'm kinda nervous, but excited at the same time. I'm working very hard to ensure that every song and sound sounds great.
Fun fact: I'm the only one in the group who doesn't drink beer.
I really like to hear music, so since we created the team, I was really interested on composing for our games, even though I had never composed at all. I learned a lot of things while I was composing my first song, and after showing my progress to my friends, they liked it, and decided that I would compose all of the songs. I really hope you guys enjoy the music in the game. Maybe I'll show you guys some samples throughout the game's development.

Introduction

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Leave a Tip blog, where the Keeper Team will publish all the news about the game and make sure to not delete all the posts again, because yes it's not your imagination, there were posts but I accidentally deleted them because I was drunk and because it was the first time I was using Blogger on the cellphone and I thought that all the posts without title were drafts... whoops!
Enjoy!
