When @jonathanying.bsky.social reached out to us about his fantasy shopkeeping game, it felt a bit like looking in a mirror seeing the things the games had in common.😆 It seemed natural fit and seeing our characters in a real, physical board game has been really cool!

✨Sylvia & co are off to explore and sell in the world of Bargain Quest!!✨

Bargain Quest is a board game where shopkeepers compete for heroes’ business in a monster-filled fantasy town. We’re honored that their team made a bonus pack starring our very own shopkeepers & heroes!

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 10📝

Adding a Boss Finn route meant we needed a few more animations to round out his personality. Here's a behind the scenes look at our animation process for one of them!

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 9📝

We explored a bunch of different animals for Mae’s design before settling on her current lizardy form. Her final look is inspired by leopard geckos!

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 8📝

Outside the main befriendable cast, Potionomics has 81 "generic" customers! Getting all these characters modeled and dressed was a huge task, so for a long time, we had these slightly unsettling stand-ins with Baptiste’s head pasted on top.

Bonus: An exploration sketch from when we were trying to figure out the layout of the interior.

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 7📝

The Heroes Guild is made from the salvaged remains of a shipwreck from the fight against Maven's kraken. This is why the background illustrations have a vaguely nautical theme!

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 6📝

In the early drafts of the story, this was how Owl's wing got injured. We didn't keep this because we felt like it was a little too mean.😅

bluesky does not like GIFs apparently so here is Boss Finn's shoulder shimmy again.😅

2. We couldn't resist having Roxanne deliver an ojou-sama laugh here.✨

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 5📝

Five things in Potionomics that were inspired by other things!

1. This Salt emote and the knife cat meme.🐱🔪

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 4📝
We named Sylvia's cauldron fire Combustopher based on a Twitter poll! The other options were Flamebae, Hotpot and Wick.

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 3📝

In an earlier design of the game, we concepted out some ideas for random events that could happen to Sylvia's shop, like mice infestations and broken plumbing!

❄️Winter Sale Production Note 2📝

Even though they’re mostly out of frame or hidden by the dialogue box, we did actually model the legs for all the characters!

Roxanne comes in a distant second with around 30 emotes. She has a broader range of animations to reflect her enemies to lovers arc.😉

With Potionomics being 20% off in the Steam Winter Sale, we’re sharing some behind-the-scenes tidbits for the next two weeks!❄️📝

Being the protagonist, Sylvia has the most emotes in the cast at roughly over 100! Here’s some old clips featuring a few, mostly from her card moves.
