Thanks for the detailed reply! Let me see...
Play: The eventual goal for the game is to have at least nine possible patrons, and to have a random five chosen for any particular playthrough. I've already put in some work to make it easier to add new characters by creating generic passages which handle the behind-the-scenes mechanics before forwarding the player onto the appropriate text, so I'm not recreating the same logic over and over again.
Aesthetic: Yeah, this is the default style for Sugarcube! And yeah, that's the kind of thing I like to do for polished works, but this time around I had to focus on the writing/mechanics.
Sound: No sound! I could throw a song in there maybe for the full version.
Narrative: I'm not much of a bar-goer myself, aha. The goal for the final game is to include a little illustration for the main characters and the patrons! The main character is a combination of Floraverse species: he's an "okopy" (like "okapi") since he's a mix between a uniqorn and a turf tiger. So think a unicorn with stripes. Uniqorns have doppelgangers, which is where the "kopy" in "okopy" comes from. There's a good sample of art of him here: https://twitter.com/Opaopa13/status/1223259692287299584
Horny: Indeed.
Kink: Yeah, I know it's off-putting to some, so I made sure to include an option to filter it out. I'd like to expand this for the full game; e.g., when I have nine characters, I can let players who are uncomfortable with verbal degradation filter out Vexx as a possible patron. And yeah, this game is set in the world of Floraverse! You can read the webcomic or play games set in Floraverse... in addition to the games published under my account, I'm also the writer for Practice Run and one-half of the writing team for the Alice's Day Off demo.
Harmony and Novelty: Yeah, scope is important! The concept started out as a Bitsy game, aha. Twine and Bitsy are my favorite mediums for avoiding scope creep... except for the (unpublished) game I made that embeds mini-Bitsy games into a Twine project, aha. I hope your own project turns out well, good luck!!
