Welcome!
Welcome to Signal Rain. I’m Joe, a solo developer based in the UK.
I am currently in active development on my debut commercial title, codenamed "Barvista." This project has been a passion of mine for three years, and I am fully focused on bringing it to life. My goal is to launch the Steam page later this year—stay tuned for updates on my progress.
About the Game
The idea for Barvista actually started behind a local coffee counter. I realized I absolutely loved the craft of making coffee, but the stress of serving customers? Not so much. I wanted to capture that tactile joy of brewing and share it with others through innovative game design.
Unlike typical simulators where you just click a button and wait for a timer, Barvista features Cooking Mama-esque minigames that make you feel every pour and grind. You can follow my progress in the "Barvista" update section as I work toward an eventual Steam release.
Beyond the game itself, I’ve added a section dedicated to the challenges of game dev. Making games has been such a blessing in my life, and I hope my journey inspires you to start a project of your own!
Thank you!
Right now, this venture is a one-person show funded by my own savings. I’m committed to making this game the best it can be, but extra funding would open doors to features I can’t quite reach alone—like professional graphics and a custom soundtrack. No one can do it all alone, but with a little help from the community, we can turn this vision into a reality. Any donation, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. I’ll be responding to supporters personally to keep you updated on how your contribution is helping the project grow!
