Room Service - Alpha 0.1 | $5+ Patron Release [PC ONLY]
Notice: The Alpha test is currently PC only. The Android/Mobile port still requires further testing until it's working properly.
This Alpha release for Room Service is a short demo to test out new features. There is currently no NSFW content yet. I recommend pledging only if you are very eager to test out this update! The public/free release will be on Wednesday, April 1st. Thank you!
Hey Patrons!
Room Service - Alpha 0.1 is available now for early testing!
IMPORTANT: Out of respect for all the $5+ Patrons and everyone that works so hard to make Room Service possible, please refrain from sharing this build/link with others.

With this update, you can get a first-hand look at some of the general changes and improvements to the story experience that Room Service will have!
My goal with RS is to feel like a step forward from House Chores so this Alpha update serves as a test and a base for some of those new features. From animated characters, to new effects, I hope you can notice some of these improvements with this first build!
Since the game is very early in development, there's not much content yet. However, the first NSFW scene is currently in progress! Teasers will begin to resume as normal very soon!
My plans are to expand upon the game by adding new locations both inside and outside of Hotel LeBlanc. As updates continue, I hope players enjoy the new events and locations that they will be able to experience with Jen!
=====
What a relief to finally have some form of a game released! Although there's quite a lot more to get done.
If you spot any bugs or typos, let me know on Discord! RS is still in the Alpha stages so there are many features missing that will be added in future updates too.
Thank you so much for playing Room Service!

Just had a try. The visuals are very nice. UI fits well style-wise and I like the more animated character portraits and interactable objects. I could do with a little less character and hair movement, personally, and maybe have the characters blink a little less but faster? (Would it maybe be feasible to have eyes, mouth, etc. as their own smaller animations rather than the whole person to save on file size?) Also, the idea of the "camera pan" in the intro is a nice idea but felt rather stuttery here. I hope this isn't a RPGM restriction? But overall, very nice-looking. Looking forward to this game. For something completely different: I really don't want to come off as impatient and I'm fully aware that you're probably already pretty occupied with deveolpment of this and your other games, but I still wanted to ask if you had any time in-between yet to have a look through the Emily artworks I asked about in the other Patreon post?
Thank you for reminding me! I did check your request but unfortunately those pieces of art aren't scenes so they aren't included in the bundle. Maybe one day I could look at adding the on-screen character images to the bundle but I've been quite busy so I don't want to make any promises. Sorry about that! ---- I am exploring ways to have the expressions rendered separate. The file size is definitely a concern of mine. There are a few technical hurdles to figure out first with that, however. Fully agree with the intro not looking quite right. It's very "placeholder-y" at the moment as I intend to have custom assets instead. So that should be getting revised in a future update! Thanks so much for the feedback!
I'd love to hear feedback on some of the new features! The animated expressions for Jen, for example. I'm hoping they load fairly seamlessly for most players. But if not, or it feels distracting, I can look for ways to improve the performance!
Yes yes and thank you 👍 😊
