Happy Anniversary, Whipped and Steamy! Here's 'Bunny Splash Casino', its spiritual successor adults-only game!
Whipped and Steamy âą Cosplay CafĂ© is celebrating its first anniversary! One year ago we launched an adult game and itâs been a wild ride since. We're planning on updating it, but decided itâd be better to focus on a new game entirely.
Weâre soft-announcing âBunny Splash Casinoâ and the âBunny Copulationâ, our new adults-only game and brand. You can start following its channels, here on Itch, on Twitter and Discord as we get started on the project!
Happy First Anniversary, Whipped and Steamy ⹠Cosplay Café! One year ago, we decided to create a completely different game to those we had done before and took a jab at developing an adult-themed game during the one-month game jam of Strawberry Jam 3.
What resulted from the it was the game we originally called Cosplay CafĂ©, an adult-parody visual-novel mixed in with light-management elements. Set in a world where adult media is king, Cosplay CafĂ© gave us the liberty to try a whole new level of world characterization and character depth that we hadnât tried before. Touching on topics normally regarded as taboo gave us a lot of room to explore themes that we felt weâre not often explored in video-games, and opened a lot of opportunities for original writing.
Ever since weâve shipped the original version of Cosplay CafĂ©, things certainly have been a wild ride. We re-branded the game to its new name of Whipped And Steamy, won the Strawberry Jam across five different categories, got awards and selections for events, made a explicit-collaboration with another game and much more. It's flattering to see how many milestones Cosplay CafĂ© hit as a single-month project.
Not only that, but Whipped and Steamy and Cosplay CafĂ© have changed us as developers, as a brand and changed the way we look at the strengths and uniqueness of our games. Last year was a very big puzzle in-regards to âWhatâs next?â but we believe weâve finally found where we want to go with our projects.
But before we go further, we'd like to highlight the celebratory art we made for the gameâs anniversary, of course!
What's the plan going forward? Whatâs happening to Whipped and Steamy?
Weâve talked about back in our December Status Report about how we were originally planning on developing updates and expansions for Whipped and Steamy âą Cosplay CafĂ©, but we unfortunately hit some personal road-blocks that led us to freeze development on the game.
During that frozen-development period, we started considering the future of the game and what we could do with its themes. Whipped And Steamy left us with a taste to explore the adult game genre even further, and we felt the management side of the game could see a complete remake from the ground up to feature even better gameplay.
Taking into account that realization and the different ideas we had for Cosplay CafĂ© expansions, as well as feedback we got from the âWhat would you like to see next?â from the last report, we decided itâd be best to go from Cosplay CafĂ© into a completely new follow-up project.
As we started scrambling and putting ideas together, thinking about how we could keep some familiarity between Whipped And Steamy and this new game, we realized that we had already accidentally made the pitch of the game we wanted to make ourselves before. That idea was actually embedded within Cosplay Café all-along!
If you havenât caught on yet based on the screenshots above and from all the build-up, weâd like to make the âsoft-announcementâ that weâve begun working on Bunny Splash Casino!
Soft-Announcing âBunny Splash Casinoâ and the âBunny Copulationâ!
Bunny Splash Casino is our spiritual-successor to Whipped And Steamy, a full-blown, adults-only, erotic management simulation novel! Bunny Splash Casino was designed from the ground-up with a new emphasis on management and simulation gameplay and featuring an even stronger adults-only label on top. It takes all of the ideas we've had for Whipped And Steamy and turns them into an even stronger game.
If youâve gone through Cheqmateâs story in Whipped And Steamy, you already have some idea of what to expect, and sure enough, Cheqmate will be taking the lead as the main character of this new game. You can even notice her (and Buns Buns) new updated design for Bunny Splash Casino featured in the anniversary artwork! Likewise, given the previous familiarity talk, we also plan to have some other characters and ideas from Cosplay CafĂ© appear in Bunny Splash Casino some way or another.
As teased in our Lunar New Year celebrations, this is the game we have planned to be our first commercial game, and weâd like to release it on storefronts (Steam, Itch, …) later down the road. When time is right, weâll be talking about how we plan to manage demos, roadmap and more. Yet, at this moment, it's still too early to make any formal announcements.
Given how Bunny Splash Casino is going full hands-on with adult content, we thought itâd be best to subsidize it to itâs own sub-brand. This way, you know exactly what to expect when you look up either.
For that matter, we created Bunny Copulation, our (appropriately named) new brand that will focus exclusively on adult-only media like Bunny Splash Casino. It's still the same crew you know from Whales And Games but with new channels specifically marked for when nobody's around!
Despite this announcement, Bunny Splash Casino and the Bunny Copulation are still in their early days. This announcement is more of a âYes, weâre working on something!â than a full reveal, and weâll showcase more of the game as it starts taking shape as weâre only now preparing to begin hands-on development.
What can we expect from Bunny Splash Casino?
As weâre describing it as âan erotic management simulation novel gameâ, you may already have some ideas of what youâre going to see. Taking place in a world where adult entertainment is rampant, Bunny Splash Casino parts from the premise of managing a casino where becoming rich is secondary to pleasure.
The planned intention of the game is to create a solid and fun casino-hosting experience, which includes managing the activities and resources, and overseeing the everyday life of the locale. Pair customers to the right hosts and games, serve the correct foods, drinks and utilities to the right tables, and get prepared for everything patreons ask of you!
Similar to Whipped And Steamy âą Cosplay CafĂ©, thereâs going to be an emphasis of interesting characters to meet. And since opening a casino in the Red Light District is asking for competition, expect other businesses to take notice, challenging you to see who can serve better the patrons!
Thatâs all the overview that can be shared of it at the moment, but thereâs already plenty of it planned. Weâll be sharing more about it when the opportunity presents itself keep your eyes out!
In case youâd still like very-very-early-access look into what weâre doing, you can follow us on our new dedicated Bunny Copulation, Itch, Twitter and Discord! Be wary of the âAdults Only!â label on them though!
