High Times

Still wondering whether to play High Times or not? Now that the Hotbox is finally open for business, here's a quick look at five things you'll be doing once you're behind the counter!   1, Solve your customers’ problems While we believe all donuts are in essence a Cheer donut, there are various mood enhanced flavours available at the Hotbox! Customers would drop by and tell you about their day or a problem they have and it’s your job as the Mood Confectioner to hook them up with an appropriate donut!  Cody wants some help with anger management issues and we’ve got a few options… we can even co

High Times is now out on PC and major consoles! If you have played the game, we’d appreciate it if you leave a review.

Dear Mood Confectioners, As of writing, we're less than 8 hours away from fully launching High Times out into the world. What a wild 6 years it had been, full of sweat, blood, and lots and LOTS of sugary donuts! As the clock ticks down to release, we just want to thank everyone for helping us reach an amazing 50,000 wishlists!!! We never could have imagined we'd reach this number! Suffice to say, in a game about donuts, you guys have been the sweetest part of this journey. THANK YOU! 🍩 ✨ Since launch is close, we decided to put together a quick FAQ to answer any questions you guys might have

With only three weeks left until launch, we thought we'd take a closer look at one of the systems you'll use in High Times.  We talked about how tags work in our Donut Day post, but we thought we’d dedicate a whole dev log post about them since there’s a lot we haven’t mentioned before!  The mood categories Some customers know exactly what they want. Take Jojo, for example: Jojo’s asking for very specific things here, so let’s try to break his order down! If we ask him to clarify his order, he’ll even give us more clues.  Our glazes fall into three different categories: Vibes, Chill, and Motiv

An unfamiliar High Times You see the familiar kitchen layout but what’s this? The donut looks different… even the names are different. That’s right! It’s High Times before we removed all the drug jokes. The flavour and topping names used to drug puns. We’re pretty fond of ‘Chococaine’ and ‘Matchajuana’.  We did have to change everything to avoid getting slapped with an M rating, but here’s a fun fact: we actually still use the original drug names in the code 😂 So a customer might ask for a passion donut, but internally it’s all about that ‘ContainsFlavor()==ubecstacy’.  It’s in the details Th

In most dating sims, you meet people for the first time. In High Times? Things are not that easy! Your MC already has history with the people they’ll meet… and maybe even some unresolved feelings. Since your character comes with emotional baggage, we wanted players to have full control of how the MC looks! Building the Main Character There’s a risk in having a main character who already has some existing baggage with the main cast: not only has MC dated a bunch of different people before the game has started, but they’re also partly at fault for those relationships having failed in the first p
