Developing a new game

Potion Shop Schwesterherz version 1.01 (FPS Options and little things)

Potion Shop Schwesterherz version 1.0

A new version is waiting for you at the very end of this post!

Please visit my blog or itch.io to read the patchnotes.

The time has come. PSS is fully developed. As said in my public post, bug fixes and maybe more content updates will follow, but for now it is finished.

Overall I'm very happy with how the game turned out. Lots of things c...

Potion Shop Schwesterherz version 1.0 released!

A new version got released for patrons! The last patron version is now public!
Please visit my blog or itch.io to read the patch notes.

This is not only the release of version 1.0, but also the birthday of Potion Shop Schwesterherz! It has been 5 years, since the game saw the light of day! It came a long way and it was an incredible journey. Thank you ...

Public Status Update December 2025 (Version 1.0 soon)

Hello public people!

We're close! About 2 weeks left for Potion Shop Schwesterherz version 1.0!

The game will release on the 15th December!

It will only be available here on my patreon for now. I thought about selling it, but somehow it keeps growing more complicated to sell NSFW games. You heard the stories. So yeah...
The last version will get updated for free on Newgrounds and Itch though, as always.

I recently started the last, big game testing ...

November 2025 status update (Done with my personal playtesting)

So, how was your Halloween? Got spooked? Or are you already preparing for Mariah Carey, who is defrosting since July? In any case, I hope you had a great time :)

This post will be longer. I will put it into sub titles, so you can just skip forward, if you aren't interested in a certain topic.

Time played:
I finished fully playtesting the game. I needed 17 hours and 30 mins to play through the main story. And another 2 hours and 30 mins to complete the game to a...

Apology for my bad german localisation

Currently, I'm testing Potion Shop Schwesterherz in it's entirety; as casual as possible. I decided to use this oppurtunity to play it in german, so I can correct potential mistakes.

And what shall I say... I'm aghast at the sloppiness of my work:

• Incredible amount of missing punctuation or even randomly adding some

• lots of missing letters, or randomly more that got added

• original english text still in the same line as the translations

October 2025 status update #2 (CG portraits have been moved)

The portrait frames have been moved from the house into the basement gallery! Quicker than I have hoped!

I didn't expect that I will still keep the frames around the buttons, but, oh well, now that I have created them I can just use them again, right? I thought I will streamline those frames rather; making them the same, but I didn't (have to).

Also I took the chance and made the previews of the cg's, after unlocking them, unblurred, so you know what you're going to see fullscreen...

October 2025 status update (main quests are done)

Oh yeah, it's spooky time, yet again! I watched some horror thrillers over the last couple of days. Most of them were not really good, sadly. But the newest entry in the Alien franchise Romolus was quite nice! Makes me wanna have another Alien Isolation game. Is there a new one in the works? God, it was so good.

Anyways, about the development progress of Potion Shop Schwesterherz:
Creating the ending, meaning all dialogues and a few bonus animations, have been fully implemented! I de...

I don't have more to say to this update other than enjoy!

I think it's time. The final stretch to version 1.0. This should be it.

September 2025 status update (Continuing work on Potion Shop)

Quick update, as promised.

So, I checked multiple scales of the tileset that will create the environment (ground, walls, etc.) and it looks like that I will stick to 100x100 for my new game. PSS had 200x200.
I also tried 50x50 just for the heck of it. I won't do the majority of tiles like that, but I can see myself having smaller tiles for certain platforms.

Random Fun Fact:
Did you now that everything in PSS is scaled by a 1 cm = 2 pixel size? This way it...

August 2025 status update #3 (detailed progression report for my new game)

Time for an intermediate update! This post will elaborate what I did so far on my new game. Prepare for a long text.

Lighting:
The first thing I started working on was the lighting. PSS uses a certain type and I wanna build upon it in the new systen. Interestingly I was quickly done with it. Shadow casters will be a thing (it simply casts a shadow behind an object, depending on the position of the light). Will work nicely for static furnitures for example.

I a...

August 2025 status update #2 (Working on the new game for a bit)

Hey folks, what's up?

I am done with the main parts of this update. You know what it is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As announced I will pick up work on my new game. I had a bit of a thinking when I wanna do this: When I'd have done this right after the last PSS update, I'd feel very behind in development of PSS. But when I would do this after I'm done with the next PSS update I feel like just stalling said PSS update.
So, what is my solution?
I will work on it in the ...

August 2025 status update (working on more animations)

Hello friends!

I'm in the middle of working on new lewd animations for the upcomming update. My plan was to add 3, but I got so many ideas for poses and scenes that this number was turned into 6.
So yeah, doing that right now.

About the CG's:
H1draw showed me new sketches. Looking good, just a few changes are needed. TBH I miss my old CG artist, but he hasn't showed up. It is what it is.
I'd say I'm able to add the CG's at the same time as I rel...

Potion Shop Schwesterherz version 0.36

A new version is waiting for you at the very end of this post!

Please visit my blog or itch.io to read the patchnotes.

Some sad news: You won't be able to access the gallery from the main menu. Wish I could have done that, but the way how the save game worked did some trouble. Instead you need to go into the game and access it from shop.

Potion Shop Schwesterherz version 0.36 released!

Currency change active

As announced in my last post, the preparations are set and Patreon will now start charging € instead of $.
Depending on which currency you use you might see a small price increase; this applies for new patrons only.

To make up for it, yearly subscribtions are now cheaper, from 10% to 16%, which is equal to two free months a year.

Game development wise I'm in testing phase and the n...

Public Status Update June 2025 (Game progress and patreon currency swap)

Hello public people,

in the beginning of next month there will be a new version. I'm currently in testing phase. I will take one or two more days before I hand it over to some game testers to ckeck for issues.

About Potion Shop Schwesterherz:
The topic of this version will be a gallery. You will be able to access the gallery from your shop right from the start. You can unlock every animation by following hints of how to unlock certain animations provided in the...

June 2025 status update (Gallery savegame and arousal bar)

Hey guys, I will now continue telling you what I did and what I will do.

I finished working on the save system and currently it looks like that I'm able to make a seperate save file for the gallery. That means, when you beginn a new game, the game asks you, if you wanna delete you current save file to start anew (like before). If you accept, it also asks you, if you wanna keep the gallery.
(Note, that this won't work when you do it right away after the relea...

May 2025 status update #2 (Gallery progress)

Hey folks!

Actually I don't have much to show or say here, because all the work I do is boring coding stuff and connecting each button to their appropiate animation or checking positions of animations. Everything needs to grip into each other.
I will still try to explain my train of thoughts here.

Since the result of this poll I continued working on the gallery as I intended to. Didn...

May 2025 status update (Gallery plans; I need your opinion)

Hey folks, how are you doing?
Damn, time flies so fast. I hope you had a nice mothers day. Or at least made a new mother, hehe.

Anyways, I have a bunch of news to share:

I originally didn't intent to show an early image of how the gallery would look, but I need your opinion:

This part is purely about the background visuals and the way of how the lewd animations will be shown on...

I'm curious how you feel about the new stamina cost in exchange for gossip. To much? To low? Feel free to leave a comment with your expression of any topic.
