❄️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.
❄️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.😅
❄️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!
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.
During my first playthrough I had little to no stress management cards in my deck so Silvia was always on the verge of mental breakdown, which is very relatable. #Potionomics
Boss Finn doodle because despite his tough guy appearance he's so respectful to Sylvia, and his pet names make me giggle and kick my feet 🦈When he's acting all sweet it makes me all mushy! #Potionomics #BossFinn
One of my favorite comics that I've done. This is from #Potionomics featuring Quinn and Sylvia! Just had a fun observation over the fact that Quinn actually EATS the ingredients.

Decided to try and get back into the habit of regular doodling, and the characters in #Potionomics are so expressive that they make great reference
