Barely Working Steam News & New Levels? (Patreon)

Hi everyone, I'm writing an important blog post to tell you some important news about Barely Working.

I was informed by Steam that we are able to release Barely Working on Steam as early access. Previously they told us we cannot do that during the adult payment processing fiasco, but now they are saying we can do it.

This is important because I thought I had to release a finished game, but now I have shifted my mentality to try to create more levels.

One problem we have is that we are no longer working with our main artist who had created the Candace you see today. Since they are no longer on the team, we have to utilize our other amazing artists and hope that we can match the original style to the best of our ability.

The pictures made in this blog post are made by the team and I wanted your opinions on how it looks. If you guys think Candace looks good then I'm willing to create more levels. We are also contemplating adding 2 frame animations for the fucking scenes similar to the one below:

If we move forward with more levels I would not do Monday-Friday outfits for each level, I would rather just create one level and then move on to another level with brand new poses and setting.

I am looking for your guys opinions on Barely Working. I would love to know what you guys would like to see in the game. Please give me your feedback on these pictures and then let me know what is most important to you guys.

Do you guys just want more levels?

Would the quality of these drawings be enough?

Do you guys like the 2 frame animations?

I'll take any feedback regarding the future of Barely Working because I am very heavily contemplating releasing the game as early access and then continuing to work on the game with our current team.

Use your other artists they are skilled. Add more levels and poses. You are doing fantastic work.

temmytoa

This artwork feels closer to the vibes of the older artwork before the style shift, which I personally preferred

GranPecador

The two frames are a must! They look way better. I think it's probably better to have one or two outfits per level before moving on to the next. You don't need to do it Monday through Friday, but maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. Everything looks great!

Tark26

The pictures look good, and I would love more levels. The outfits are cool, but I really feel like the different scenarios and poses are more interesting. I think the animation is interesting, but i honestly love the static image below it more. It feels more true to the original style.

Nephilim

Wait, are we talking about replacing all the artwork in the game, or just using new artists going forward for new content?

DPMaker

Not replacing art, just using new art moving forward for new levels

JayRich

great artwork, for sure MORE LEVELS.

DPMaker

Lol that's funny, we're going full circle ! !

DPMaker

Thank you, the reason why I mentioned not having other outfits is because writing new themes for the levels is really difficult and we've been struggling. I just thought it'd be easier to make one outfit per level and it brings more value because there will be new poses for each release.

DPMaker

I respect it, we get so many comments regarding animations so I thought we could try it out. I'm down for either choice.

Nephilim

Oook, cool. The new art looks good, but the elevated perspective threw me for a loop. But if its for a new level, thats cool, I appreciate the variety. I love the idea of 2 frame animations. Honesty, I'd be fine with the original plans for game content, I know this was supposed to be a short game and you have other irons in the fire. That said, I'll always enjoy more barely working, I'd certainly enjoy more levels.

Isaac Foster

MORE LEVELS YESSSSSSS and 2 frames art are great!

DPMaker

We were trying an "open-floor plan" for an office level, thought it might be cool to have Candace having sex with her colleagues while everyone else is at their desk! Unlike the cubicle. This was supposed to be a short game, but we seriously get over 15,000 players a day looking at the game so I feel bad for ending it. Especially now that I talked to the team and they said they're down to help out with new levels.

Mason

Art looks really good, I feel the 2 frame animation would make this game so much better then it already is . Would love to see more levels with that

TechnoBarbarian

The new style looks good, and if it allows for more levels and some animation, I'll gladly take the sacrifice of the costumes in exchange.

Shep don

This looks beautiful and peak

Spenser

While I've always felt the costumes were a neat novelty/catch-all sort of method for fetishes and tastes, I obviously won't turn down more levels. Different scenarios beats out the different looks, though would they still be present in the game somehow? They're still cute, and wouldn't want those designs to go unloved! But I would absolutely adore the little animations more than anything. Games already great as it is to me though! I'd pay money for it how it is now, so anything more is just icing on the cake <3

oscarmflo

This is the greatest news ever. The game is awesome and you’re just gonna make it more awesome??

James H Smith V

Sounds good to me. Focusing on more levels and frames sounds more important at the moment. Plus, when you feel like it. You can try alternate costumes later, if possible. Great work still👍🏾

DPMaker

Thank you, I don't mind doing one-off outfits for some levels but it's just the value a new level brings seems to be higher. Not sure until we try it though!

Toasted to the Max

Been following you since the first iteration of barely working, loved the work then, love the work now. Your doing great. The 2 frame animations wil be a good change of pace moving forward, I love the idea. Can't wait to see what else you do with the game. Good luck to you and the team

CyberFoxy828

I love it... also, maybe you can add other caracters in the future level for example: in level 3 Monday, Crystal was talking to Candace in the meeting... maybe you can add her to help in the "work" or switch with her.... another idea I have is to add a horny meter... you know have sex to cool the meter down... anyways I love the art hope the update drop soon.

CyberFoxy828

And maybe other man's... like different man's come to Candace for sex (example: bold, security, Varient coworkers idk)

Thomas Dobbs

Maybe you could add the H.R. lady at some point as a "redemption arc" with an erotic twist to it!

Her mann

I really Like the Animations. For the Steam Release: I Hope i can still get the new Versions over Patreon, because Otherwiese i either could Not get it on Steam or i would have to use VPN because Steam in my Country has a Lot of 18+ Games Not available

DPMaker

Yes you will still get all versions through Patreon. And we're hoping we work with more payment processors to allow for more purchase methods.

RageOnward

You do what works👍 If the redraws of the different costumes are too much then maybe making them into mods that the community can make themselves? The first ones you’ve made can be official ones?

Ash

The art looks good, I wouldn't have guessed it wasn't the original artist at all. As for scenes, the 2 frame style definitely is a perk! It'd be great to see more levels/scenes over all. I'd miss multiple outfits, but in the choice between outfits and scenes, I'd choose scenes.

Ash

New scenes wise, I'd really enjoy at least one level where she has a woman/threesome with a woman. But understand if that's difficult to do!

Her mann

Good to know and thanks for the fast Answer, keep Up the good Work ;)

Tommy Pickles

The differences between the original artist and the current ones are very slim and almost unnoticeable. They're doing a fantastic job! Regarding the two frame animations, absolutely!

DPMaker

We'll do a lesbian event, i know everyone has requested it. I would still like to make sure it fits the freeuse vibe though

BleakLibrarian

Looks good, more levels and more action in the office is always appreciated.

Voyage

That's amazing! I would really love to see the whole Candice lore grow, maybe other games with her as our main character, maybe even a 3d game in some distant future! New style looks good and natural, even her a bit elvish ears ^_^ animation is also a good addition to the game

cyberonic

2 frame animations look great, I am guessing the colored pictures are also from the team artist? If so yeah do it. And yes! More levels! Also Crystal and Stacy!

Ataraxia69

I would say the quality of this art is great, it's a bit noticeable that it's a different artist. The two frame animations look good, would be a nice addition

DPMaker

We have like 4 different people work on one picture so it's a group effort!

The anal guy

i like the art style and would love more content hands down. the gameplay is simple but fun and the art is complimented by the characters and messages!

FlopRecruit

I personally think while the art shift is noticeable, it's not bad! The gameplay loop is simple but fun, and the 2-frame animations are a great idea! Additionally I would maybe format the new level shift as a new Month Like Month 1 is the current "Base Loop" Month 2 is the new stuff you talk about in this post and should you have ideas for entirely new gameplay loops etc you would have a believeable and fitting framework to work with by adding More Months!

Nudist Magical Girl

I really love the idea of the two frame loops. It really adds just a bit more life to game. I think the art style shift is subtle enough to not really that noticeable. I'd be sad to lose the different outfits, but also having more level variety sounds like fun new addition, so it probably is worth it.

Bigdawg96

Doesnt look that noticeable to me? Looks g!

Axelinpinpin

The idea sounds great, and the design is very similar, no difference at all. I'm going to miss the different outfits and the varied days of the week in each level 😭🥺

Axelinpinpin

And translations for some levels, because I speak Spanish, would be incredible in future updates.🥺🥺

Stephen Butler

More levels would be sweet, but not having new outfits and days would be a little bit sad. Also, the art looks almost indistinguishable.

Gavin

more levels more than makes up for no new outfits, and I dont think I can tell the difference between the artstyles at all. If the team thinks they are up for two frame loops, thats fantastic, thats twice the Candice!

Bruh man from the 5th floor

Candace looks fine, but her eyes seem a little dead. Like she's bored. I personally loved having the Monday through Friday for each level and knowing that once that was done, the game was finished. I would to see the two frame animation.
