The demo is finished! A lot of work has been done. And a lot of work is further after the festival. Finally, you can test the demo on your own.
There are several ways to play.
You don't have to follow the rules - you can just brew potions without paying attention to customer expectations:
- Just not spend your money on expensive components
For players who are not afraid of difficulties, there are some challenges:
- Brew effective potions, but not at a loss
- Keep a book of recipes
- Try to prepare potions with common properties among your customers in advance
- Work out a tactic of arranging the components of the potions so that you can find them quickly
- Buy only necessary components from the merchant
- Pay attention to service - prepare tasty and non-toxic potions, and at the best time
The demo contains all the main mechanics and some additional stuff:
- Сustomer service and quests of 1 and 2 difficulty levels (from 5)
- Categories of components and their properties ( basic, additional, and special)
- Component arrangement and usage
- Brewing potions from components
- Time, money, and reputation system (with some sort of balance)
- Сustomer feedback in letters (overall, effect and service rating with rewards)
- Potions are recorded in recipes, which can be renamed, anchored, and deleted
- Buying components from a merchant
- Unique characters and customer generator (with professions)
- The usual text tutorial
- Art, interface, sounds, effects, and touchable pet (very close to the final)
- Localization system (you can choose English or Russian)
- Balance for test
Main course after Next Fest:
- A lot of work with quests (quest chains with unique characters, generated city population, and your effect on it, customer relation to you)
- Shop customization to boost roleplay aspect (set up a natural, dark or holy design of the store)
- It is also possible to add a witch's garden, as well as forays into the forest for components
- More themed merchants
- More unique characters
- Interactive tutorial
