VN Ren'Py Innocent Witches [v0.11.2 Beta Fix3] [Sad Crab]

[Alcolaw]

My notes on the current build, as someone whose been following it since the start.

Pros
- HUGE step in the right direction. Finally getting some H-content
- Much less dialogue
- What needs to happen to progress is much more straightfoward and understandable
- Did like being able to chose your waifu
- This chapter is a good next step, but had it have been chapter 2/3 this game would be up there with summertime saga

Con
- Still grind-y as fuck. Is more time than it's worth to get your skills up to progress the story ( i just abandoned it)

Suggestions

You can probably condense the first 4 chapters into 2. Chapter 1 could just be coming to hogwarts and meeting everyone then banging mcgonigal. chapter 2 could just be befriending snape, learning the office interface and stealing the swimsuits (that could also be made simpler if you take out it being time dependent).

Cutting out a lot of work, I know, but as Kurt Vonnegut said; a step backward, after making a wrong turn, is a step in the right direction

You assuming that people can make 5 (10 with $5k+) high quality drawings per day. Yet you started talking about renders, not drawings. And you completely ignored that $5k are split to other people aswell (+fee).
Sorry (not really) but you look like troll who just make things up.

You can collect $ 20,000 and send it to me. I for month will make game with a huge number of drawings and it. Besides me, there are good freelancers who are not lazy. Go! There will be funding, there will be a huge project. In the meantime, I can only see that they have a lot of useless people who are not doing their job (hobby)

There will be no loss of stats for not training going forward (in hotfix) you can train up to 4 times in a day, any stat. The first level takes 3 pumps to achieve in any stat. So some of that grind is already removed.

With regards to the text, maybe once I am past 0.3F I will revisit it. The main issue there is, it's all in russian, so I have to cross reference translations (hopefully you understand why im avoiding it).

And as a reminder, there will be a new H-Scene (don't expect anal etc) in 0.3F with one of the girls, main or side, not saying.

Who someone have walkthough???

 

[ehct2332]

Personally, I'm of two minds about cutting text. One of the reasons I'm backing this game on Patreon for, beside the great art, is that it's attempting to be something more than your average porn game. In other words, it has a story, humor and personality. So I'm slightly dreading that cutting down on the amount of text in the game will take away some of that.

I haven't played the 0.3B version yet, as I made a decision to wait until there was something more substantial to play, but I'll still say that I'm hoping there'd still be plenty of text, but much of it should be dialogue with the girls. IOW, the "corruption" part.

Same. The art and the story complement each other really well. It's still very raw, but I love the tone of the game, as a result. As JoeBanks said, I would add a toggle feature, as this would appease those who want a quick release and those who want a bit more.

Is there a hero who will post version 3-1b ?

 

[grantpfl]

where do i find the time turner

 

[Markenswich1993]

I really love this game, tho.

 

[goochklok]

where do i find the time turner

It's by the entrance at night. I think your perception needs to be level 2 before you can pick it up. I may be wrong though.

 

[goochklok]

Also for the love of god can the OP link the walkthrough in the original post? It gets updated in this google doc at some point with most mainline updates.

Why to spread repeatedly passing in a thread ? Better throw off the new version of Innocent Witches 0.3.1 b!

That's great, I may actually excited for this game again.

Another thought I had which you may like is tethering the difficulty of Hermionie's minigame to your intelligence level. Instead of having three difficulties you just offer to play the game, If your Intelligence is low you get the hard difficulty, but as you level up they get easier and easier

I will have our other dev do that, he already wanted to, and he did an amazing job with Daphne's minigame.

Great stories are not based on the amount of text you put in. What is generally viewed as H.P lovecraft best work is color out of space and thats a short story around 50 pages long. On the other hand L Ron Hubbard does hold one record and thats not one of Scientology grandiose lies about him, L Ron Hubbard is the most profloric writer in history with the Guinness world record in most book published 1084 in total.

L Ron Hubbard magnus opus Mission Earth is 1.2 million words long , more then twice the length of war and peace. It is regarded as utter drivel, just because you can cram alot of words into your works does not make any good

More examples The Hellbound Heart the book hellraiser movie was based on is 186 pages long and it is a horror literary classic, its follow up novel the scarlet novels is 386 pages long and got scathing reviews from fans and critics alike

does anyone know if you can copy save games over from 0.2f to 0.3b? And if so, how to do it on a mac?

I found that the most difficult mode of playing games with Hermione, and the completion of the s stage in the fastest time, but she did not show off the undressing part, but it became a bit disappointing to cover the chest with one hand!

Unfortunately the logic is that she is the most prude and will be the hardest to achieve stuff with. Although we will be editing it to be easier with higher intel etc.
