Bargain Quest Potionomics Bonus Pack Renegade Games Online Store

The bonus pack is available now at @renegadegamestudios.com ! The reprint of the base game is still in progress, but your local game store may have copies in stock.

Many thanks to Chan Chau, Wojciech G., Patrick "Pixel Hat" Keenan, Kiara Macrae & missusruin for their contributions to the card art!

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.😅

oh nooo😂

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

Haha yes!! He's a helpful little fire slime.

5. Corsac wants you to Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

4. Quinn's character inspiration is Sucy from Little Witch Academia.🔮

3. Boss Finn's shoulder shimmies.💃

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.

Haha thank you!! We are a bit bummed that no one ever gets to see them.

❄️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.

Quinn🔮
めちゃくちゃ可愛い
