History:

Although it's a simulation game, will have a history!
You'll play as a rich young boy. One day, his grandfather dies and his inheritance is divided between his sons and gransons.
You were the family's black sheep, so you received the smallest part: an old house. So you decide to rebuild your life and start a bar career!

Systems:

Serving the clients:
In the opposite of the beta, now you'll serve the clients by yourself! Just push the buttons 1 to 6 as the people pop up. But be quick, cos they won't wait to much.

Making the drinks:
I'll try to create a big variety of drinks to be prepared. Everything for the people's happiness!

Businness:
Now you can have trade with other establishments! You can make treaties with them.

City Events:
In Myeza, along the year, there will have some events, like the carnival or the christmas. During an event day, a few more people will appear, like a popularity bonus. At the end of the day, you can go to the event place. I'm planning something like having relationships with some girls... =)

Upgrades:
You can upgrade your bar changing things like the wallpaper, objects and stuff. Every upgrade you do, will raise your popularity!

The clients:
There will be more than 10 differents kind of normal clientes and more 10 of special ones. Each one has its own favourite drinks.

Game Type:
You can play as 3 gamming type: Career (you play as the story line tell you so); Mission (you choose a difficulty and should try to accomplish it) or Freedom Mode (there's no time limit ot mission).

Awards:
Along you grow up as a barman, you may earn awards which gives you money and/or a popularity/reputation bonus.

Temperature and Climate:
During a hot day, you shouldn't forget to give to your clients a drink without some ice cubes!

Tools:
Trading with the Arju Factory, you can get some good tools, like a mixing glass or a refrigerator. They'll all help you with you bar career.

Skills:
You can't grow up as a barman only making juices. So if you really want to be a bar master, just improve your skills, spending some hours studiyng. You start with one skill star, and can only reach 10. So it's pretty hard to obtain one. But it really helps!

Relationship:

It will work like a mini-game, where you should interact with the girls while in an event. It's simple, very simple, but sometimes it can cost you a bit of boxes (money). Here are the girls:


In order (from the left to the right): Biscoito, Daisy, Agatha and Jane.
Interacting to them will take some hours, so you can't do everything with them all. =]
Why would I spend my precious time talking to these girls?
Well, when one of them likes you, you can take her to your room.

When you wake up (and she's gone), you'll receive a prize. It doesn't worth a box, but it will be show at your profile screen, like a trophy.

Biscoito:
Always happy and love animals, nature and stuff.

Daisy:
She talks, walks and acts like a child, but she's very cleaver. Loves big cities and she's vegetarian.

Agatha:
She is very reserved and shy, so it can complicate things to you. Likes to read books and help others.

Jane:
She's hard... to talk! She can say the whole vocabulary in minutes! And is know in whole city... well, you should know why. Loves eletronic gadgets and stuff.

Note: I didn't tried to copy any girl from the Harvest Moon, although I saw they got similar... =/ Hope there's no problem to you...

Business System:

Well, the establishments (distributter, factory, supermarket and snack bar) will growing up randomly (this is another system). And while they grow up, you can find for sale some good new items, and they can try to make a trade treaty with you.

Reputation, Popularity and Progress:

Reputation:
These numbers show how well the people see you.
You can raise it by serving your clients well.
How better, nicer crew you pop up!

Popularity:
It shows how known your bar is.
Raise it by upgrading your place.
How better it is, more people.

Progress:
It shows how well are you in the game. It will calculate upgrades, your recipe book, your skills, etc...

Barman Skills:

Oh yeah! When you acess the profile window, it will show you how skilled you are. This skill you improve the variety of drinks you can make. So you must have a good skill before trying to serving to better clientes: the riches ones.
To improve your skills, just press Enter while in "profile" and you spend some hours of your day studying! It's very simple.
