We Launched the Thing

imagine sharing an orgasm with your crush and missing the point this hard

What's new in 1.0?

(AKA what you will miss in the demo rn)

• More story content added, of course, fleshing out a nice conclusion to Hazel's storyline and adding some more gratification to Lia's and Tristen's as well. These scenes are fun and meaty, if that's your thing. The existing scenes have also gotten a minor editing pass to further hone the game's personality. To be totally honest, some things ended up on the cutting room floor (for now, more on that below)

  • 3 new scenes with Hazel, bringing her total to 5

  • Lia and Tristen each have 1 new scene, bringing them both to 3 total

• Every animation in the game has been reworked fully to DESTROY ALL CLIPPING and generally be sexier and more expressive. turns out that animating for 80 hours will improve your skills and then you'll wanna redo all the stuff you did before.

• Lots of art improvements, including better jiggle physics & body deformations, a new endgame outfit, better-quality textures, better anatomy including genitals and anatomical feet (it was a lot of work but i feel like it was an investment... sorry that's a tease isn't it)

• Many tiny bug fixes and such (we worked hard to make the game stable at launch. if you encounter issues, please let us know via our support email)

If you played the demo, the full game has a message inviting you to restart your save file. It's optional, but the pre-existing content is better paced now and flows more cohesively with the additions.

So now what?

Well... to be fully honest, it took a scary amount of effort to even get the game along to this point. I am doing a lot of things for the first time on this project and i'm pretty lazy on top of that too (what's it to ya?).

We really wanted Glory Hole Barista 1.0 to feel like a complete product that, if small, at least really delivers on quality.

But...

OF COURSE there is more stuff that i want to add to the game. so:

Yes, there will be a content update at some point in the distant future. Unless I die. Or get like, really distracted.

some things that might include:

• A new ability animation or ...two. Or more. Many kind and creative perverts have shared ideas for actions they'd like to see in the game, and i still have some thoughts myself

• Possibly some more "words" to "read" that make us feel "emotions". And balance out the amount of content among all 3 characters

• Probably not any major gameplay changes, though i definitely have thoughts about how to improve on this formula / mix up the minigame. That might have to wait for a sequel or something

• More cosmetics & customization options

• Improved camera controls and options

note: as you can tell I'm really hesitant to make any concrete promises here. I just wanna say that there will be something, and i'm not moving on from the game yet.

Finally, a HUGE Thank you to everyone who's checked the game out.

In the interest of transparency, I wanted to share a little about how this game gets made. I'm des, the lead developer on the game. I'm extremely grateful to have many talented friends who were willing to contribute to the game (art, writing, music, sounds, and more) on a revenue-sharing basis. but for the most part, this is a one-person operation, and i'm the entire marketing, communications, and business department in addition to being the lead developer.

I'm super proud of how the game has turned out in the almost exactly 2 years since I started working on it. Glory Hole Barista is my first NSFW game, but it's been so much fun that i know it won't be my last. now, go suck 'em dry my lovely baristas <3
