Since the results affect relationships, why would we ever want RANDOM RESULTS?!?! Please discontinue this hotfix feature in the next update. You will end up having players either just keep repeating over and over until they eventually get (at least, what appears to be) a good result OR it will increase the demand for someone to make a game mod that - among other things - automatically gives you perfect results. Either way, this is not a particularly useful way to solve the players' concerns over the bartender mini-game.... though it does reinforce the usefulness of the one-sheet recipe image I made, so thanks for that I guess. /shrug

Clearly most of the commenters want this part out of the game so when they ask for the option to skip it, they mean that skipping will ONLY yield positive results. Either you misunderstood this part or you just don't want to do it.

I can appreciate you wanting people to play the game with intention and it is the same reason you have disabled the feature to skip unread text (unlike 98% of other games). That is your prerogative. Just know that the complaints are going to keep rolling in about this aspect until you truly give players an option to skip that does not have negative results.
If only a positive result is given when mixing is skipped, then what is the point of this mini-game?
The different results of this mini-game are not designed to annoy the player, but to make the game replayable and versatile. If there was no point to this mini-game, I would not have added it.

You should be able to leave ingredients open on the side while bartending, it was kind of tedious

Renders look great though!
Hi. Thank you. You're right—this switching can be annoying. But I haven't found a way to fix the recipes technically yet. I'll try to solve this in the near future.

In my opinion the 3 main aspects for a good AVN are good story, nice renders/beautiful LI and nice animations, not some silly ass mini games thats wasting/inflate the playing time, just my opinion.

The minigame is tedious, that's why some of us want it removed. Are you trying to make a avn or a VA-11 HALL-A sequel?
Now you say cocktails affect npcs when in the comments players are already asking for a simplified point system :WaitWhat:
