Birb Caf out now!

After two years in development, hopefully, it has been worth the wait. First time here? Here's a refresher! Birb Caf is a coffee-making visual novel about a cute bird helping adventurers on their quests. Your choices matter! Join Chelly as she picks up an apron and opens up her very own caf: The Feathered Cup! Her customers are adventurers from all over the world, and they need the perfect stat-boosting coffee to succeed on their quest: a strength boost, poison resist, or perhaps just something to soothe their nerves? Whatever it is that they need, Chelly will do her absolute best to help them! [previewyoutube=FTUrBpgKXTw;full][/previewyoutube] What are you waiting for? Go play it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1579300/Birb_Caf/

Birb Caf launches May 12 + demo update!

The wait is almost over. One week from now Birb Caf will finally be going live on Steam! This news also comes with the last major update for the game demo... ... a complete rebalance of the coffee making stats. Why? While our testers could figure out which stats are required based on dialogue hints, the actual numbers were nearly impossible to figure out without painful trial-and-error, as they were too confusing and arbitrary from order to order. This was also impossible to balance (believe me, we tried), so we did the next best thing: simplify it! The bean now adds a "greater" amount of stat, the sweetener a "lesser" amount, and combined they become an "overwhelming" amount of stat. This is both much more intuitive and provides better feedback to the player as to what they did wrong (or right!) We hope it's worth the wait!

Birb Caf Demo - Update 2

We have received quite a bit more feedback after our Steam Next Fest update, allowing us to further improve our game! Once again, the main subject of the changes is Quality of Life improvements... but also some graphical updates! The change list includes:

  • massive, final improvements to tutorial, which should now be clearer than ever
  • add mouseover tooltip for most coffee making functionalities
  • update visuals of Drip Brewer, tutorial pointer, pouring coffee, Feathered Cup logo, ibrik frames
  • add x-ray sprites to highlght current coffee grinder contents
  • add recipe stat explanation on mouseover
  • add "no sweetener added" warning when submitting order
  • add additional dialogue clarifications, quest requirements should now be less ambiguous!
  • add additional information on failed orders, it should be easier to figure out what went wrong now!
  • add first time shop explanation and warning in case of forgetting to buy recipes
  • allow putting some items back on shelf, not just in the sink
  • hide unused video options when windowed mode is disabled (Windows/Linux version only)
  • add game version on main menu
  • many other fixes and improvements!
Of course, this isn't all we've been doing. Behind the scenes we've been working tirelessly on the full version of the game, and we hope to have a definitive release date available very soon...! Our current estimates are a Q1 2022 release, be sure to follow us on Twitter for future updates!

Steam Next Fest Update

Finally, after receiving quite a bit of feedback, we have released our first major update to the game demo! Feedback: the tutorial is still overly-verbose, confusing, and/or difficult. Response: major overhaul of the tutorial, which is now much simpler, cleaner, and more interactive! You can also skip it entirely if you want. Feedback: some of the orders are too difficult Response: added an "outcome list" button to help you out during coffee making. The list persists across playthroughs, so each new game (this includes reloading saves to retry an order) becomes a little easier if you use it! We'll also be sure to appropriately balance the orders in the full game, making it easier to figure out what you need based on dialogue and other hints. Feedback: guestbook and recipe book shouldn't take up the entire screen during coffee making, it should be open on the side. Response: that's exactly what we did! The guestbook and recipe book are open on the right side UI during coffee making, so you can keep that recipe book open while you work. Very handy! There's also many other improvements and bugfixes included. Full list of changes:

  • overhaul of guestbook and recipe book during coffee making, it's much cleaner and easier to use
  • overhaul of tutorial: more interactive and much easier to understand now
  • add option to disable tutorial
  • addition of "Outcome List" button during coffee making: the list persists across playthroughs, which makes it easier to explore all the outcome combinationss across multiple playthroughs
  • prompt when buying Ibrik Coffee reminding you that you can only make it using Ibrik Brew, obviously
  • many other fixes and improvements
  • Chelly is a little bit cuter now!
Please give the new demo a try, and let us know what you think!
