The First Closed Playtest for Tonight's Special officially ends today

Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support and sign-ups…!

I received over 3,000 applications, which completely exceeded my expectations 😭

But since this was still a very early small-scale test, I were only able to invite a little over 500 players this time (pain.jpg)

Once again, thank you for taking the time to try this still very unfinished version of the game.🍸✨

⏰ The playtest will end today at 23:59(CST).

So if you received access but haven’t had time to play yet, don’t forget, bar owners~

During this test period, I carefully collected all the feedback, bug reports, survey responses, and DMs, and I’ve already started working through them one by one!

The most commonly mentioned issues I’m currently prioritizing include: 🔴 Bartending gameplay feels too simple 🔴Progression and stat systems feel tedious

Future improvements will include: ✨ More ingredients and drink recipes ✨More opportunities to freely experiment with mixing drinks ✨ Additional bartending techniques ✨ More signature cocktails ✨More diverse, variety and complexity customer requests ✨ Further improvements to voice acting, UI, interactions …and more!

I hope that next time we meet, I’ll be able to bring you a more complete and polished version of Tonight’s Special.

There will also be a public playtest later this year, and I hope you’ll continue supporting Tonight’s Special ✨

And finally — for Mac players!

🍎 The Mac version playtest is planned to begin on May 21 and will last for around two weeks!

For everyone who couldn’t participate this time due to the Steam technical issues, we’ll finally be able to meet soon~

And please don’t forget to fill out the survey that appears after finishing the game!
