Does anybody even know if they're making progress in that hole they all reside in? Is there ANYTHING to look out to these coming months? I cba looking on their site cause it's usual "we're working on it" shit that I don't want to read..
You're better off asking that the next time you see Innocent Witches on the latest updates page. The updates are always the usual "we're working on it" shit that you don't want to read and the updates are also typically scenes with characters no one asked for if they have scenes at all. The game has been treading water for years and whether or not any given update actually has new, worthwhile content in it can't really be determined until it's out.

Hello everyone!
The holidays are now over and it’s time to look at what we've been doing during the past ten days, and also have a glimpse at the upcoming seasonal update. Let’s begin!
First of all, the art-preview (available in the following post). Today it’s a shot from the start of one of the events in 0.11A. Why is Hermione looking in the mirror in Marcus’ bedroom? You will find the answer (and what this mirror event will be about) in the upcoming update.
Next, an overview of the recent developments. Most of the team was taking a holiday vacation, while some continued to work throughout the winter days. Most of the time was spent on the upcoming major release, 0.11A. During this specific development cycle, the focus was mostly on the implementation of a new scene with Minerva, which is based on the combination of existing content in the new plot and the scene with her in the prologue of the old plot. Almost all of the existing art that was not yet present in the new plot was reintegrated and added into this scene. There are still a couple of minor pieces left and they will be added in the next patch. And of course, it was expanded with new content as well so that the scene feels fresh and juicy.

The scene will have multiple choices during its course which will result in different endings (if you know what we mean >:D). It will not have the same stress-managing minigame as it had before, since it was decided by the team that it will be too out of place in comparison with other existing scenes. However, we’re sure you'll enjoy what’s coming nonetheless :)

Apart from that we’ve been working on adding new music tracks to the game, mainly for the new locations that are coming in 0.11A. Later we will also add new tracks to the existing locations and characters as well that don’t have their own musical theme yet. For example, elf-maid will get her own character theme, together with a spicier version for more personal encounters in the bedroom, and more ;)
Finally, we’ve begun the preparation for a seasonal event that will come out in February. It will be based on two foundations.

First one is the recent Miss Hogwarts tournament. The idea is to reference this competition without breaking the fourth wall in the game. The event in the game will start after the competition is finished, and since Hermione is not used to the amount of attention she gets (at least not in the school), she will naturally need help from the headmaster. Markus, being a responsible person (not really) will of course agree to help her out.
Second one is St. Valentine’s day. Since this celebration will happen quite soon, we won’t be able to produce lots of art, such as decorations for the Headmaster's office, or content for all of the four prefects. Instead it will be combined with Miss Hogwarts competition and will be focused on short but sweet romantic interactions with the winner herself, Hermione. If you choose her as your waifu, there will be more content to enjoy. Finally, if she’s not the one you like, you will be able to skip the event completely :)
When it comes to art content of the update itself, it will include a new costume for Hermione, several miniatures (art of the character on a location), and of course a bit of lewd stuff.
Apart from that the artists continue to draw all the art for 0.11A, while the scenario team works on the seasonal update and on planning the update that will follow 0.11A.
For today’s voting round we wanted to ask you about your opinion regarding mods for our game. The idea here is to provide some sort of tools and guidance for people interested in modifying the game’s content. This includes creating or modifying existing art, adding dialogues and quests, and so on. However, this will require some time spent on it, especially the documentation for how to structure the code and insert proper logic that is specific for our game. What do you think about this? Please let us know by voting or leaving a message below.
  • I think mods are a cool thing and I wish to create one! I would be happy to know how it can be done.
  • Mods are cool and I would certainly check them out, however I don’t want to create them myself.
  • I think it’s a waste of time to spend resources on this now. Mods might become a thing when the game is finished.
  • I don’t care / I want to see the results.
That’ll be all for today, folks! We greatly appreciate you sticking around and continuing to support the development by donating and leaving feedback. Thank you!
We’ll meet again in 10 days. Until then, stay safe and have fun!
Peace✌
Your,
Sad crabs.

Last time I played you did the cooking thing with Susan and her apron falls and her tits come out and there's also the training thing . Has any content been added for Susan since and are you able to do anything with her? Or is it still random updates with music and shit? Don't want to download the whole thing and replay through only for there to be no actual new content.

Whow to send gift if i play new story not old story?
In the new story you summon the girl you want to gift something too. As long as the summoned girl does not trigger an event, you will get a menu at the top of the screen, where one of the options is to gift.

How many fucking times are they going to reinvent the Minerva scene?

elf-maid will get her own character theme
lmfao, I can't with these guys. I simply can not.

Welp. They finally jumped the shark. You know they're making too much money for too little work when they've gotten so emboldened they're asking other people to make the content to their game instead.

" Public News 01.01.2024

have a look at what’s been done during the previous development cycle.
  • First, we’ve added a third background to the main menu together with a new music theme. Now each of the three backgrounds will have its own music theme, and when you switch between them both art and music will change. In addition, we’ve added a button to hide the book so that you can enjoy the view with less obstructions.
  • One more thing to mention is that the new background image will be static in this release, but we already have it planned to be animated with Live2D in one of the next releases.
  • Optimized the engine a bit to work with images more effectively which resulted in reduction of memory consumption. This will especially be noticeable in Android and Web versions of the game. For you as a player this will mean fewer crashes and more stable work of the Innocent Witches app in general.
  • Continued to work with the content for 0.11A. The rest of the development time was dedicated to this task. There’s still lots of content to insert and many lines of code to write, but we’re moving forward each day without encountering major roadblocks. "

Do you think they'll ever run out of unnecessary things to add/change and they'll eventually have to make some progress? According to the first page, it's been 7 months since there was an update. 12 June 2023.

Heya everyone!

Another ten days since the previous news post are past us so it’s time to update you on the current state of Innocent Witches. In this news post we’ll look at what’s been done for the game, what’s planned for the coming days, and of course say a couple of words about the upcoming release of 0.11A. Let’s begin!

We’ll start, as always, with the art-preview (available in a separate post). This time it’s a preview of the fullscreen scene that is coming in 0.11A. In it, the faithful and diligent elf-maid is preparing herself for some sexy time with the naughty headmaster! Hopefully, there won’t be too much mess to clean-up after they are done playing ;)

Next, here are the main features that we were working on during the past 10-days development cycle:

  • Live2D animations for the various scenes with Minerva at the table are now around 60% finished.






During the years of development this particular scene received a lot of modifications and addons, including cat’s suit, shower foam, fingering, and more. On top of that, 0.11A will bring yet another addition in the form of a royal dildo, including various interactions. Due to this, the animations of the scene are quite time consuming. However, once they are finished we’ll be able to add Live2D animations to all scenes with Minerva at the table, starting with the one at the end of chapter 1, where Marcus helps her fix a malfunction with her clothes, and finishing with the various scenes in Act 2.

  • The work on updating the mechanic for Hermione’s first minigame has been finished.






The main part of the update to the minigame’s mechanic is the addition of a new mode where the player needs to rotate the pieces of the image in order to restore the original picture. The system is quite dynamic which allows us to control how many pieces the game should consist of and how much time is given to finish the task. We can also use practically any available image in the game for this puzzle, which is quite a nice thing to have when it comes to expanding the minigame.








At the moment the plan is to expand the game with various photos and polaroids which the player finds throughout the playthrough. Hermione on the other hand will have different reactions to them. In addition, this will allow to add a certain progression to the minigame itself, such as for example a different reward from Hermione will require specific photos to be used for her minigame.

Finally, this is only one new addition to the minigame, new art and more interactions are also planned to be added with the goal to refresh the whole minigame as much as possible, somewhat similarly to how it was done to Daphne’s minigame.

  • The events that lead to Myrtle’s scene are now available outside of Act 1 Chapter 4. Prior to this change the scene with her was only available if the player did certain actions in Chapter 4. We thought that she needs much more love, so now it will be possible to reach her scene not only in Chapter 4, but in the chapters that follow as well.
  • A somewhat minor issue with the broken broom in Chapter 4 has been addressed. Before this change Marcus broke his broom during certain events, and he never received a new one, that is it just reappeared in the inventory in the next chapter. To fix this we’ve added a short interaction with Filch where Marcus is able to get a new broom. The only thing required of Marcus is to endure being humiliated by Filch…
  • Potions classroom has received a new musical theme. The composer is currently working on the character theme for elf-maid, including both standard and sexy versions of the music.
  • The editing process of the texts for 0.11A has been finished which means that we can tick off this task and focus on finishing the art and the code for the update.
Apart from that we’re currently preparing for the seasonal event that will come out in February. It was described in detail in the previous news post, so check it out if you want to know more details. At the moment, it has a scenario outlined and the text is almost finished. However, it will require some time from the artists which means that they’ll need to switch from 0.11A for a short period of time. Anyhow, we will work hard to release it in time but as you know something will always go wrong, so we ask you to be prepared for slight delays :)

Speaking about that, the current deadline for the art required for the next major version is now set to be 5th of February. Previous one did not give enough time to finish all the tasks, so we had to move it forward a bit. After 5th of February we will use all the time to insert the art and add the code to make it work. It will include several new locations, a fullscreen scene, and other juicy events. Overall, due to these circumstances we won’t be able to release 0.11A in January as it was planned before, but instead we’ll put everything into making the release in February. We understand and share the frustration caused by such long pauses between releases and we do everything in order to shorten the delays as much as possible. The work continues every day and 0.11A is just around the corner <3

And finally, a voting round. This time we would like to know your option on side activities in the games you play. How would you feel about having more side activities to do that don’t have a lot of impact on the main events in Innocent Witches? For example, Marcus could visit the Forbidden Forest to collect some of the ingredients for potions, which he could then sell. Or he could start fishing… Anyhow, would you spend time playing them knowing that you for example might get additional galleons and spend them on an item from a catalog (assuming there will be items worthwhile to buy), or would you just stick to the main events and move the story forward? Please let us know by voting or leaving a message below!

  • I would absolutely love to click on things here and there during these side activities. The more the merrier!
  • I think I would check such stuff once and probably get back to the main events.
  • I don’t want to do such stuff, I want to spend more time with the characters instead, and advance the story.
  • I don’t care / I want to see the results.
That’ll be all for today, folks! We greatly appreciate you sticking around and continuing to support the development by donating and leaving feedback. Thank you!

We’ll meet again in 10 days. Until then, stay safe and have fun!

Peace✌

Your,

Sad crabs.
