The role of Linda and the shop (Patreon)
Content
In the image above you can see how different the old and the new version of the shop is scaled. To stay consistent with the pixel size, I decided at one point that every 1 cm = 2 pixel. It's pretty easy to calculate with that.
Anyway, I am actually not here to show you the drawing progress of the shop, but rather explain the role of it and Linda's. I will update my Milanote for the 5$ tier accordingly. Let's begin:
In the shop, you will be able to sell and craft your potions, interact with your sister, rest, eat, relax, and more. Depending on the room you will receive active buffs for spending time there. Linda receives passive buffs from the rooms. You will be able to upgrade specfic things in the shop and in the labs (for example redcution of needed materials per flask). The living rooms can be upgraded as a whole.
Flasks sell depending on the passed in-game time. Going adventuring, eating, sleeping, etc will continue the timer.
Linda is the shop keeper. You will observe her being in the shop at daytime, sleeping in the night time and sometimes you see her at other places in the house. You can not control Linda directly. Through interaction with her, no matter if casual talking or random events, you can direct her actions (she will remember what you said to her) and manipulating her Libido.
Linda's Libido increases every day (if the player doesn't interfer). Once it reaches a certain treshhold, the chance is that she acts very "lewd" to say the least. You can caught her masturbating or even fucking a random client somewhere in the house. If she does this it comes with a few benefits like increased potion prices, or a one time coin tip.But letting her act like this also increases Gossip.
Gossip will have 5 levels of intensity. At a certain point (let's say 2) less clients will visit the shop, leaving you as the player with lots of unsold flasks.
And of course everything will be connected via small dialogues á la zum Damenhaus. Those will also have a lot of potential of triggering certain events.
There will be other potion shop owners: Unique NPC's that will interact with the sisters, but this doesn't have a big priority for me now. I will add the first one once a public alpha already got released.
This is just a basic overview and I could go on with details and examples. I would rather show you at some point. Nevertheless, questions are appreciated; I will answer them once I see them.
I will draw every day on the shop, but it takes ages to get even the smallest things done. Seems like I underestimated the time it takes. But at one point it will be done and it will look awesome!
Oh, and I know I haven't said that often lately, so thank you for you support! You help me doing the stuff I do <3
