  [Devlog] Melee and More

  Hello everyone!Quite a bit of progress has been made recently, and it finally feels like a good time to share it.But first, here's a quick weapon showcase.\ is a weapon specialized for close-range combat.It excels at dealing devastating damage to nearby enemies, and when paired with a high-alcohol level, it can clear out anything standing in front of you in no time.Its secondary fire, \, tightens the spread, making it effective even against distant targets.The recoil from the secondary fire can also be used to launch yourself toward enemies for an aggressive approach.Like the secondary fire on other weapons, however, it consumes additional ammo, so use it carefully.An introduction video has also been prepared for one of the game's core mechanics that many of you have been asking about: \, \, and the \ system.The system itself is fairly straightforward.Drinking Alcohol puts you into a high-alcohol level, while drinking Drinks switches you to a low-alcohol level.At a high-alcohol level, your weapon's damage, rate of fire, and overall firepower are increased.In return, your movement speed is reduced and your accuracy becomes less reliable.A low-alcohol level works in the opposite way.Your firepower is lower, but your movement speed increases and your shots become much more accurate.Rather than consumable items, Alcohol and Drinks function more like skills with cooldowns.Since they share the same cooldown, choosing when to switch alcohol levels and how to approach each encounter becomes an important decision.Aggressive combat reduces their cooldown, so feel free to take the phrase "Drink. Kill. Drink. Kill." literally.As mentioned previously, the goal for the demo is to include at least three standard stages.The layouts for all three stages are now complete, and the current focus is on polishing their visuals and presentation.Hopefully, that work will be wrapped up soon so development can move on to the title screen, options menu, and other UI elements.Ammo management i...

  [Devlog] 5,000+ Wishlists!

  Hello!First, I have some great news to share... Hole Punch Cocktail has officially reached 5,000 wishlists!Thank you so much for all your support!I will continue to give my all to the development of the game.As my next milestone is releasing a playable demo,I have started focusing on game stability—an area that previously had a lower priority.This includes addressing issues like clipping through terrain, unstable movement, and various minor bugs.Notably, there was a critical bug involving the Clipboard Enemy's knockback attack.If you were hit while against a wall, there was a 99.9% chance of being launched completely out of the map.This has now been fixed, though it took significantly more effort than I initially anticipated.I also spent time polishing the UI.The styles of temporary UI elements that were merely placed as placeholders have been unified,and visual animations were added to make important in-game information updates clearly noticeable.Aside from these, many other undocumented adjustments have been made.From tweaking enemy death animation logic to improving projectile visibility,I am working through a long list of minor details that collectively make a massive difference in the overall gameplay experience.Lastly, I would like to introduce the second weapon, the \.This is a versatile weapon that performs well at both High-Alcohol and Low-Alcohol levels.While it does require reloading, you can trigger a \ by pressing the secondary fire button.However, please note that Fast Reload consumes extra ammunition, so use it wisely.Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to sharing more updates soon.

  [Devlog] Focus on Demo

  Hello everyone,I’m starting this dev log to share a bit of my development journey with you.My top priority right now is releasing a playable demo.I am aiming to include at least three main levels and one arena level in the demo.Below are some screenshots of the early stages and the levels I'm currently working on:The core mechanics of the game are functioning well,and I am currently fine-tuning the numbers and experimenting with various adjustments to get the balance right.There is still plenty of work left to do regarding UI improvements, general game systems, and bug fixing,but I am working consistently to get the demo out to you as soon as possible.Lastly, I’d like to introduce one of the game’s primary weapons: the \.Designed for precision, this weapon features high accuracy and a strong critical damage multiplier.It specializes in well-placed, powerful shots, and its secondary fire \ mode allows you to compensate for the lack of raw firepower.Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to sharing more updates soon.
