About the crafting poll and the new zdh release (Patreon)

To get straight to the point: I decided that I am going to make a simpler crafting system. I know that a lot of you voted for experimentation, but in this instance I will go for what I think will be better for the game. Now please don't think that your votes were meaningless, you gave me another argument to over-think my decissions. Also I had a nice discussion on Discord.It's really hard for me to make this post, cause I never decided against the great majority of the people. But again, I feel it will be better this way.

So what can you expect?The player went into the woods and collected some ingredients there. Returned to the shop he can now turn those materials into potions/tools. You open your storage, each material is listed there, and click on the potions you like to craft. The numbers of needed materials show in a seperate window. You can adjust the numbers to create more results. Click craft -> done.

If I need to give you a comparision, then I'd say like the system in World of Warcaft. Though different in terms of UI. I might just do a screenshot once it's done...

I also decided that I don't do this system with some fancy effects, yet. But I can see myself doing that in the future (like Sonja throws every ingredient into a pot and it makes some nice soundeffects or something like that. But at the time being this isn't important for me. Maybe later.)

More news about zum Damenhaus:I really hoped that I can share the game with you this month, but I need to disappoint you. The Game End CG is still in the works, and the artist for Madelines CG will open commission in the first half of september.

At least there is a ray of light: The Game End CG looks out of this world already. It will be a worthy endscreen for zum Damenhaus once the player made the effort to reach the new global goal.I am not sure if I already listed here on Patreon what the global goals are. So I will do it now:- play through the main story (reach reputation 9)- unlock all locations- unlock all floors- have at least 15 slaves

Of course you can sandbox the game still after this. Meaning you can continue playing.

I wish you a good night and see you soon!
