Working on my new game!


I worked on my new game Potion Shop Schwesterherz intensively the last couple of weeks. I prepared for it easily two years ago, with learning a new engine (Unity) and making a lot of thoughts about my new game.

PSS is still in the very early beginnings. I hope to get a playable public demo of the alpha 0.1 version in about 6 months. This is just a very rough estimate. zum Damenhaus needed 9 month for it's first alpha.

As a patron you will have access to my devblog; providing news of what I currently work on and neat inside knowledge about Potion Shop Schwesterherz. This blog here will still be active and I will share information here as well, but only when finishing greater sections of my game.
In any case, you can look forward to a new game, made in a new and better engine with oldschool gameplay as well as content never seen before in any hentai (and even non-hentai) game!

If you are interested in what is to come you can join or follow my Patreon.
Furthermore I am still very active on my Discord and every question is welcome! Even if you just stay for the random lewds or nice community in the end :)

About zum Damenhaus:
Version 4.0.1 seems to work the best so far, it's still not perfect.
I wanna release at least one more main update that gets the game out of it's alpha state; including some more bug fixes, quality of life changes and some minor new content that is needed, so zDh feels like a full game. I know that I could have worked on it forever, ideawise, but, if you remember, the main reason for me to move on was an engine change, cause flash will be... I don't wanna say dead, that's not true. I'd say way less in use.
Also the project zDh turned out quite big so the engine can't handle it perfectly anyway.
But there will always be a zum Damenhaus 2 at some point :) That's a promise!

I can't say when I wanna work on that update, cause I don't wanna interrupt the good flow I have with PSS currently.

I hope I can fulfil everyones expectations and continue creating exciting content.

Yours truly

      A whole look at the project (2019 review)

      Like the last years, I will do a summarising of everything that got implemented in 2019. I will point out all the important parts:
      Here we go:

      Tuesday, 5th March 2019 - version 3.6 was released, brought a new section opened for Amanda to explore: The Mountains! Introducing a new slave race: The Kobold!
      Original post
      Friday, 3rd May 2019 - version 3.7 was released, added the yeti to the mountain location!
      Original post
      Monday, 12th August 2019 - version 3.8 was released, added sex machines, training rooms and running costs!
      Original post
      Sunday, 3rd November 2019 - version 3.9 was released, bringing maids and broom closets!
      Original post


      I expect version 4.1 to be the last one, before focusing 80% of my work time on my new game: Potion Shop Schwesterherz
      zum Damenhaus will leave the alpha status. Bug fixes and smaller additions are still highly possible.
      In-between I will work on animations, both pixel art and clean lines, as well as some random art works. This should prevent a burn out and give you folks a neat little extra to pass the waiting time for my next game.

      I wish you a sweet new years eve and a happy year 2020! Don't blow yourself up :)

      Jet Force Virgo (random animation)

       

      Here's a little animation for you, starring Vela from Jet Force Gemini.
      Apparently she failed the mission. 

      You can get the swf version from my Dropbox. I recommend that version since the quality is better. The pixels there are crisp.

      Else you can find this animation on Newgrounds, and probably somewhere else around the internet.

      Enjoy!

      Current development status

      Well, nothing new so far. Since I decided to finish 'zum Damenhaus' before taking on another big project I work on a new update for zDh now and this takes a while. I do new animations, new game functions, new dialogues, new upgrades, new CG's, basically everything. Don't count on a release anytime soon.

      Mmm, I should give you a teaser.
      How about that:


      I plan to do a special animation for this topic. Basically "three animations in one". I think you will like it.
      Furthermore I plan to do a special event for Cassandra about her finding a new friend / subject. So you can look forward to that.

      Updates:
      • running costs
        • each building (except VIP rooms and the bar) will cause daily maintenance costs
        • each girl will use coins for costs of living every day
        • taxes (10% of income)
      • mechanical love
        • 8 new girl x machine animations
        • new gyms that are used as training rooms in the mansion
        • girls can improve specific skills there (it's possible to train a girl in a skill she hasn't unlocked yet)
        • it also increases the main level simultaniously
        • you can use those machines in private show rooms as well, but they are purely cosmetic there

      • three new dialogues; one of them is conected to a new in-game hentai CG
      • three new upgrades on the techtree: "tax reduction","gym skill" and "gym level"
      • gained reputation and coins are visible over the head of a client to get more transparecy about the numbers
      • there's a bar on the top of the hud now that shows the progress of your next reputation level
      • a message pops up when a girl reaches a new level
      • you can't give birth control pills to (currently) infertile girls anymore, just to keep the player from wasting coins by accident

      • the animal show and gloryholes now provide experience points for your girls (like bar work does currently as well). It is one third of the common amount
      • the result screen at every end of the day does some enhanced calculations now to fit the new running costs

      Changes:

      • the effect of the upgrade "recommendation" got nerfed by 30%

      Short status update

      I am currently working on version 3.8 for 'zum Damenhaus'. This update will be rather big.
      The main new features are running costs and sex machines training units for girls to improve their skills in the mansion.
      Furthermore you can expect quality of life changes, new upgrades, dialogues, a new CG and more.

      I estimate this version to go live in early August.

      Enjoy your summer vacation.

      Finally another blog post! (status update)

      Oh shit, people, it's been like a month and a half since my last post here on my blog!

      I think I owe you a good status update.

      Right now I am working on a bigger animation that won a poll for my patrons. Every few months, in-between game updates, I will let the community suggest and choose a random animation based on a video game that I will create afterwards.

      Currently my schedule works like this:
      --> zum Damenhaus ---> Potion Shop Schwesterherz ---> random animation ---

      Time will pass, like 2-3 months until this cycle repeats.

      Let me tell you more about:
      random animation:
      It will be a surprise. Patrons only know the setting and the characters that get used. But I give you a few hints: Its 3rd instalment has already been announced, the graphic is cell-shaded and the character is tiny and loves explosions.
      And it rhymes with Bonerlands....

      zum Damenhaus:
      The next update is about numbers. I do some quality of life changes and include a running cost mechanic (if possible and easy). Probably something else as well.

      Potion Shop Schwesterherz:
      My new game that is already in the works. Last time I prepared and played around with the over world. My next step will probably be an inventory mechanic.

      So far, so good. If you wanna stay up-to-date I recommend my Discord server. I'm very active there. 

      Have a nice weekend!

      Patron version 3.7 released!


      Updates:
        • new animal that can be found in the mountains: the Yeti
          • includes 8 brand new animations
        • 1 new dialogue
        • added yeti trivia
        • added new CG for lioness and kobold. (You can find the CG's in the bar hanging on the wall as photos. Reach the neccessary reputation to unlock them piece by piece)
        • added a SubscribeStar link

        Changes:
        • lioness' walkcycle looks more natural now

          Bugfixes:
          • bug that always wanted to have 99 service points for a request
          • bug that showed the reward of the request "New offers" as NaN when it was about gloryholes
          • music starts playing again if you turn it on (stopped working when turned off the first time)
          • a slaves likes/dislikes ignored horses
          • got rid of a potential bug when trying to move madeline out of a private show room while still with a horse

          • I did some code optimization in hope to get rid of some of the awkward bugs. The chance that this worked is pretty slim tbh BUT if it worked then I got quite a bunch of them. And if it doesn't work then I now at least that the things I fixed weren't the problem 
           (all Bugfixes in public v. 3.6 as well)

          Hints:

          • if you click the name of a slave / monster girl you can change their name. If you don't press [enter] after you are done, the girls information won't disappear! If this happened you might have accidentally clicked her name. 

          Version 3.6 is now available for the public! Patch notes
          The Yeti was probably the last animal that got included in the game. Now more game mechanics, embellishments, rooms, but also animation sets will follow.
          As an alternative to my Patreon I created a SubscribeStar as well!

          The yeti, a new game and a birthday

          Right now I am working on the new animal that gets implemented, The Yeti.(I hope it doesn't take offence to it when I said 'animal'.) I determined all positions of the eight new animations and start animating in the near future.

          Before I did the design of the yeti, I finally started with my new game on which I work simultaneously in the Unity engine. The new game is called "Potion Shop Schwesterherz". I invite you to read more about it in my general description on Patreon. And if you are a patron there is even more information to it, with more to come. #Devblog is a thing.

          'zum Damenhaus' turned three years about a week ago (21.03.2019). I kept on working at this project and added more content for this period of time. I am sorry for every bug you encountered, but I am still happy that this title held itself well so far. That's also because of your support, so thank you for that.

          I wanna finish zDh as good as I can. There will still be quite a couple of updates till I reach that point.

          Patron version 3.6 released!




          Updates:
          • new monster girl: The Kobold (+15 new hentai animations!!!)
            • she can be found in the new location: the mountain
          • two new dialogues
          • the game diffiulty has been increased. The clients worked actually different than I intented since version 3.3. If at least one demand was fulfilled, everything was fine for them. NOW EVERY DEMAND MUST BE FULFILLED! if not, then the tolerance system comes into place
          • added unlocking mountain and savanna as a request on the request board (forgot savanna actually when it was added as a location)
          • if a slave has <= 20% happiness, there will be a warning for the player
          • added three more CG's (Slave, Plantgirl, Bunnygirl) to the already existing ones (Amanda, Madeline, Cassandra)
          • I put in a function to delete bugged clients. This is supposed to work only on them who get stuck in front of the elevators. Just click them once and they will get removed from the game. This won't cost you reputation. If even this function doesn't help please tell me, since it helps me finding the actual bug (implemented in public v.3.5 as well)

          Changes:
          • all girls now earn base level exp on the bar as well (33% of what they would get in a brothel room)
          • femdom + slave on a clients wishlist is no longer possible
          (all Changes in public v. 3.5 as well) 

          Bugfixes:
          • background music loops again
          • fixed a layer issue between cassandra singing on the stage and a serving slave / monstergirl
          • when amanda is "busy" with the captain and dialogue between her and whoever pops up, there were 2 Amandas in her room. I simplified some code for that; hopefully it works. If similar cases oocur, please contact me
          • if you already had an animal show / gloryholes, the game offered you it again, which is not possible to have 2 of those rooms of the same type it substracted coins when clicked. I also fixed a small spelling error there
          • fixed a small queue of clients issue on the bar. After one left cause his conditions weren't met, the queue started further away from the elevators
          • price of unlocking locations has been reduced
          • fixed a bug on which a lioness in the second and third gloryhole booth won't continue her job when unpausing
          (all above Bugfixes in public v. 3.5 as well)
          • there actually is a pretty good chance that I got the client-walking-endlessly-in-front-of-the-elavator-bug

          Hints:
          • if you click the name of a slave / monster girl you can change their name. If you don't press [enter] after you are done, the girls information won't disappear! If this happened you might have accidentally clicked her name. 

          Version 3.5 is now available for the public! Patch notes
          This was the last monster girl that gets implemented. Her animal is the next thing that I'll work on. There still is enough that I need to do for "zum Damenhaus" till I consider it as done. Nevertheless I will work on my new game simultaniously. More information about that can be found on my Patreon.
