Bumps & Brews is a bartending simulation about surrogacy, friendship, and the peculiar, sometimes hectic lives of Bay Point's citizens.

Immerse yourself in a world where a genetic mutation known as the 'Gift' shapes the lives of its 'Gifted' inhabitants, leading to sudden changes in their body proportions.

This game is about Dina, a Gifted woman working as a bartender at the Brewed Awakening. Dina's Gift manifests as most others, allowing her to adjust her body proportions, but it also has a rare, unique quirk that most people don't have: she can go through a full-term pregnancy in just a week.

Follow Dina during her surrogacy journey as you prepare drinks for ecclectic customers, build friendships, and are introduced to a colourful cast of unique and distinct characters.

==============================

Originally created in three weeks (01/05/2024 — 21/05/2024) as part of the Preggo Game Jam 2.

This was my first-ever attempt at making a game. I started learning how to code in Python a few weeks before Preggo Game Jam 2 was announced, and when I saw the announcement, I decided to throw my hat into the ring by bringing to life a creation I've wanted to make for a long time, featuring characters I created years ago and have kept close to my heart ever since.

While I originally wanted to turn the world and its characters into a story-driven, slice-of-life eroge webcomic, I never practised my artistic talent, and I was worried that the dream would never come true. However, thanks to the incredible kindness and skill of the artist Marrazan, I could turn my original idea into a visual novel with elements inspired by the game VA-11 HALL-A. It seemed fitting, considering Dina's profession.

For some people, this may not qualify as a "game." If you don't believe that this qualifies as a game, that's okay. I won't ask you to. I wanted to bring my ideas to life and share them with people I believed would appreciate them, and I have accomplished that.

I hope you enjoy my labour of love.
