ABOUT Pub Tycoon

Welcome to the Pub Tycoon Alpha Testing Group!

Welcome to the alpha test of Pub Tycoon. Take control of your own virtual tavern:
• Keep customers happy and they'll reward you back with their loyalty.
• Order drinks from the store. Plan well to make sure you don't run out during rush hour!
• Get a daily report detailing how your business is progressing.
• Hire staff to grow and serve more customers.
• Customise with furniture, such as tables and chairs.

This is just the beginning. Many more features are coming in the future! By testing this game you consent to spooky data collection.

Getting involved

When a major update is released, expect an announcement detailing the new features that have been included. We're also providing a feedback form that allows us to learn about how our update is doing - please make sure to fill this out, as getting valuable feedback is critical to the development of Pub Tycoon.

Sometimes, playtests might be scheduled in order to encourage everybody to get onto the game. See these on the events tab.

Reporting Issues

To report a bug, please use the 'Bug Reports' forum in the discussions tab.

1. Try searching for a similar bug first and create only one post per issue. Bugs are managed on an internal issue tracker, so be patient if it looks like you're not getting a response.
2. Detail the steps to reproduce the issue - otherwise we can't do much to help.
3. Add any additional information, such as the state of your game. Screenshots help massively in this regard.

Hello, Internet! - DevDiary

Have you ever wanted to own a pub? To build up a successful business from very little. To create a place which you can truly call your own. Consisting of a two full time developers, musician/sound designer and an artist, we’re a small team from the UK who are producing a video game called Pub Tycoon, which allows you to do just that. A little over six months ago, we teamed up to allow players around the world to scratch this itch.

Customisation Is Key

For the first few months of development, we started building core gameplay features which we knew we wanted, by far the biggest was the furniture system.

Customisation is a central pillar in our game - business is tough, and you ought to reward your hard work by purchasing all kinds of unique furniture. In Pub Tycoon, you’ll have access to a huge variety of objects, from the basics, such as tables and chairs, all the way to paintings, fireplaces, lighting and flora.

It was important to be able to create a system which is both flexible, but high-performance in terms of memory and processor constraints, which is a difficult problem to solve. For those of you who are programmers (or just nerdy!) we ended up implementing an octree data structure to contain the objects within the world.

Going Forward

This is an admittedly ambitious project, however with the dedication and talent that’s being pooled, we’re confident that our game will be a success. Because the plan is to launch into Early Access, and with openness and transparency in mind, our public roadmap is visible on Trello (https://trello.com/b/ZjNXl3IC/pub-tycoon-roadmap).

This is just the beginning. Make sure to stay up to date here on Discord!

Next update is boring, but needed. A huge refactor and a few small features. I've also disabled drink ordering for the time-being, until I come up with a better system.

Seems I jumped the gun on the latest update - rolled back until further notice (not that it matters at this time)

Next update will be a while - turns out first testing releases are difficult!

Anybody willing to help out testing the game can get a Steam key in the coming weeks. Won't be much to the first builds though, but hopefully over time it'll get better.
