I've just done 700 images of ingredients. It was what, 2 weeks of work? And here's the worst part, I just realized the backgrounds I used to add the plants, were the ORIGINAL Daz Rendered Backgrounds, but my final backgrounds have some photoshop work done to them so the plants don't match PERFECTLY. Some do, some don't. So I'm going to have to go work on all 800 images again...I'll be totally honest with you. I'm starting to doubt whether a potion brewing system is worth the effort. I mean yea, it's a one time build, then done... But I could stop doing this and just get back to working on new scenes and who's going to really care if they can't make a buff potion?What are your thoughts? Cuz I'm about to nuke this whole system like I did with the Monopoly Game. When I finish this game, and make the Unreal version, I'll bring both of those systems back in. But working with still images, instead of 3D models in real time, is a MASSIVE pain in the ass. I've basically just wasted 2 weeks doing this. So I'm looking for your opinions on the matter before I make a decision.

No need to worn yourself out. If you don’t want to do it now, then don’t. I don’t think anyone mind if it releases later. If you need less time doing story the other content, please do that instead of a few buffs with potions

So how much is it going to affect the entire concept of the game? If its just to increase stats temporarily, your gonna drive yourself crazy doing them again. It was a great idea but the work has been more than its worth, thats my opinion.

Harvesting Corruption

Yea all it was going to do was give you something else to harvest, and collect, in your backpack, to be used to make little buffs to your stats that lasted the day. So you could like, get a +5 to every characters affinity for the whole day if you drank a charisma potion.

Harvesting Corruption

It literally doesn't affect the game at all, or play into the story, it was just an idea I had a couple months ago, and decided to add it.

james fougere

It would have been useful to go with the harvesting idea but it would need you to invest what another 2 weeks? We all can wait cause we want it too succeed but we also don't want you to loose your mind

Personally not a great fan of buffs or cheats unless really integral to the story but this is your journey, your artistic vision, so you do what you feel is right. For me I would prefer to see new content but equally I am very much enjoying watching the vision unfold your way.

Just drop the potion system if it pisses you off right now, it's not essential anyway I'm sure it's more fun for you to render some great scenes 👍🏼

BABA

oh i remember i said somthing to do your work easier and now you realise it is a lot of work ? :D ( button harvest every day some ingridiens in each location ) and what did you say remember... ??? and now you see where it leads you :P

I love those mini booblehead figures, they're amazing, you could give them to us for share, I'm even sad that they can't be bought, I would make my naughty collection of them in real life too :))) ...As for the elixirs, that's a nice idea, but I'm looking forward to the sequel and more naughty scenes in the bar.

I would pick herbs in the afternoon only, never early morning and not late evening or night. Does that simplify things? If not then buy the potion buffs from the old witch or save the whole thing for later. I'm also more interested in seeing the story progress.

Harvesting Corruption

I actually thought about making Youtoonz versions of the characters from the game as bobblheads, so you could literally buy the Annika booblehead for your collection in real life.

Joel

You could reduce the number of ingredients, or change how they are acquired (for example, instead of just picking a mushroom, you obtain an ingredient by completing a task like talking to someone, cleaning the house, or working at the bar, thereby collecting an "essence" that sounds more magical than having drugs).

Bobo Orin

That would be great but it would need more enthusiasts to make it make sense

TacoTruck

Just drop the system and have the "witch" or whomever deliver a random potion to Annika in the mornings at her doorstep. After you help her out enough times, or something along those lines. Let Annika ask for a specific buff-type potion or a random potion.

Ken

I’d keep it but change gears for a bit. Like maybe a couple hours a week on fixing it. Do something more rewarding for a bit.

edptnet

really dont care abt all the potion shit. Never was into witchcraft, growing plants bullshit game and all that. Its a waste of time in my opinion that you spending rendering and create animations AI or not and building up the game

Harvesting Corruption

You realize, when I'm rendering an image, there is nothing else I can do. So I make AI video's while I'm waiting. Also, if you think I'm doing this work for free, from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed, with no time for myself, you're crazy. I would just be happy that the content I make while waiting on renders, or in my free time, is ALSO related to the game.

I like brewing potions but, if you're frustrated with the work that needs to be redone, put it off or drop it depending on how you feel. It doesn't seem like it is a key part of the game. Of course, we've only seen the very beginning so, depending on your plan, it could be a key part.

Chris.G

I loved the idea of potions. You have already done a lot with this system. If you stop, won't you regret all the work already done? Maybe you can delay it for another update an another moment. So you can work on other things and take it out of your head for a moment. But do what you want , i will support your game no matter what.^^
