Remember that there is a cheat for all patrons to give you a headstart. And the cheat is: headstart

Next steps:

0.20 will be a big update again. Usually I like to alternate between updates with important content, and updates with lots of little things that I put aside for later.

I want to drive Potion Shop Schwesterherz further into the game loop, so it feels more like a finished game.

The next big, new core mechanic are Room Upgrades!

I had this plan since the very beginning, but it grew in importance. Currently, the player has a lack of reason for collecting coins (other than to pay blackmailing Annabelle, more health/stamina and some clothes).
My original idea was that multiple npc's are going to blackmail the sisters and that's were the money goes. The blackmailing will still happen, of course. Sorry :p

But there were two reasons why I wanna add something else:
1) People felt the need to get revange on Annabelle. And I can totally understand this. Really... But when they get revange, no coins are needed for her anymore. So I need something else that the player can sink their coins in
2) It's more of a positive game design approach to let the player actually do something with the money, instead of it just getting stolen by blackmailers xD Similar to zum Damenhaus: There is nothing that takes it away.

How will it work?
Simple: Your new big goal is to renovate the shop.
Each room of the shop can be upgraded multiple times. Each upgrade adds more benefits depending on the room you upgrade. Example: Upgrading the bedroom makes sleep more effective. Or upgrading the lab will add more slots for your bag (which are currently aqquired by 'Temporary Mechanics').

There will be more benefits than just that, but I haven't fully come up with them so I need to put on my thinking hat and write everything down into detail. I will talk to you again once I came up with everything and ask for opinions.

Another thing that I had in mind was updating the visuals of the rooms whenever you upgrade them. First, I didn't see much sense in this, since it's really just the visuals. But seeing the shop expand and getting nicer does have a satisfying feel to it. So yeah, I will make multiple versions of each room, showing their current level.

When I have some time left, I will add more Linda animations or second animations for some of the enemies for Sonja.

Okay, that's all for now. You will hear from me again soon™.

In the meantime: Have fun with the game! And check out the new CG's, they look awesome as always :)
