I have set my RenPy folder in appdata as read-only to prevent all apps from making saves there and to encourage them to use saves from the main game folder and keep on getting this error.
1. neverever post what's inside error to thread, instead attach traceback.txt on your post.
2. might want to ask here https://f95zone.to/forums/programming-development-art.73/ to see if your problem has solution or ask at reddit's renpy section.

Do we have any indication of when this would be done? Like, is it at least halfway done? Does it have three acts, or more? Does each act have six chapters, or is it variable? And how much time does it take to finish and add each chapter?

Hello, Wizards and Witches!

Another 10-day development cycle has come to an end, and it’s time to share the latest updates on the development of Innocent Witches.

Let’s start with an art preview (available in the next post). This time, we see a casual moment between Marcus and Xandria having a private conversation in the picturesque Forbidden Forest. The dialogue clearly promises to be intriguing, as reflected in their emotions—ranging from embarrassment and thoughtfulness to cheerful smiles and playful glances. It seems the conversation has a subtle undertone, with Xandria trying to extract something from Marcus, perhaps ready to offer something in return.What might they be talking about? Jokes, secrets, or perhaps something more personal? Share your guesses!


Now onto the main news!

The team is back to full-scale work after the New Year holidays. Some team members continued working even during the holiday period, focusing on tasks from the backlog. These included gameplay improvements and reintegrating content from the old storyline.

For example, we re-added the ability to purchase erotic stories from Hagrid, and interactions with him have become more polished and convenient. Additionally, changes were made to the system for unlocking main menu elements featuring Luna: now, if these elements have already been unlocked, the game will no longer notify players about it redundantly.



Beyond that, the team has implemented several minor fixes and improvements to polish the gameplay and smooth out rough edges, making the game more enjoyable for players.

Since January 12, we’ve been actively integrating text and artwork into the code for Chapter 2 of Act II. This chapter consists of approximately 31 events, some of which vary depending on the chosen waifu and previous decisions. So far, about one-fifth of the content has been fully integrated.

Meanwhile, work on the text and artwork for Chapter 3 of Act II is nearing completion. As this chapter contains less text than the previous one, its integration will begin immediately after Chapter 2 is finalized, ensuring no delays due to unfinished text.

Once the artists and writers have completed their tasks for version 0.12A, we’ll hold a series of meetings to outline tasks for version 0.12B. This release will focus on developing the secondary storylines introduced in 0.12A and further reintegrating content from the old plot.

Additionally, our Live2D animator has started working on the updated main menu background featuring Hermione. This version will include new additions, such as outfit and accessory changes. The overall format will be similar to the current version of the main menu background with Luna Lovegood, which has received high praise from the players.



Based on the experience gained during the development of version 0.12A, we’ve decided to focus on optimizing the scale of new content in version 0.12B and future releases by creating more compact events. This approach will allow us to release updates faster, ensuring players receive new content more frequently.

An analysis of the current process revealed that the main slowdown is caused by the extensive script and the large volume of text required to implement all the events. By reducing exposition and emphasizing compact but visually rich events, we aim to speed up development and improve team efficiency.

That’s all for today, friends! We truly appreciate you staying with us and supporting the development through your donations and feedback. Thank you so much!

We’ll meet again very soon in the next news update. Until then, take care and don’t forget to enjoy life!

Peace to everyone✌
Yours,
Sad Crabs.


During the continued development of the game, the amount of text and events in each chapter has been steadily increasing. However, this means that it takes more time to create, integrate, and connect everything into a cohesive gameplay experience.

We’d like to hear your thoughts on this topic. What do you prefer? Do you enjoy shorter chapters with less text and fewer events, but with enough erotic content in them? Or do you prefer longer chapters with more diverse, text-based events involving various characters and a moderate amount of erotic content spread throughout them?

The main question here is about the volume of the story events and plot exposition, and not the lewd stuff, as it’s always playing the major role in the development and is considered the main goal regardless of the amount of story that supports it.

Please share your thoughts in the comments below or join the discussion on our Discord server:

1. I prefer longer chapters. I want deeper immersion in the game world and more story development.

2. I prefer simpler and more compact chapters, focusing on key events without excessive text.

3. I don’t have a strong opinion on this and trust you to decide what’s best.

4. I’d like to see the poll results.

I ran this through two different AI detectors and one came back 89% possible, and the other says 100%.

Also, this is written with the implied fact that there's been actual new content, which is false. There hasn't been any new chapter made. They're just remaking every scene with Live2D, which is basically just taking a still picture and making it wavy in some areas--a 10 year old can do that with about 2 hours of training and another hour of work.

There's a reason why they don't actually provide updates on what they have done, and instead direct you to a site for the update, which provides nothing but the same drivel we receive in this thread.

These scammy development teams just need to be banned from posting updates here until they actually start to work on their product.

divide that with ~2 restarts every year.
OH, is that the reason I remember this game, but little of what I remember is actually in here anymore? Now it makes sense~

That's a shame, really. This current available version here looks good, but it's so slow and there isn't really much to it. Remember the lewds going waaaay further~

How dare you say they do not provide us with new scenes? Did you forget about the most anticipated scene with everyone's beloved character - THE ELF MAID AKA FEMALE DOBBY? Everyone literally begged for it and the devs happily delievered, executing the scene with perfection that awokes awe. You should apologize now.

Hello, wizards and witches!

Another 10-day development cycle has come to an end, which means it's time to share the latest news on the development of Innocent Witches.

Let's start, as always, with an art preview (available in the next post). This time, we’re showing one of the stalls in the Abandoned Wing’s toilet at Hogwarts. It seems this place has kept many secrets. The wall is covered with old Polaroid photos, left there by someone long ago. Just below, there's a hole in the neighboring stall, accompanied by a rather suggestive inscription hinting at its intended use.

Empty bottles, a bra hanging on the wall, worn-out wooden panels, and a tattered magazine create an eerie yet intriguing atmosphere—suggesting that this stall has long been used for purposes other than its original function. What story lies behind all of this? Perhaps you will manage to uncover its mysteries.

Now, to the specifics. Over the past 10-day development cycle, we have been actively working on inserting the content for the upcoming 0.12A release. Specifically, we’ve been integrating dialogues, artwork, and event logic into the middle of Chapter 2, Act 2.

At this point, 23 out of 31 events have been successfully integrated. In this context, an "event" refers to a logically connected part of the chapter, consisting of dialogues, character interactions, movement between locations, and various activities.

From February 10 to February 20, we plan to complete the integration of Chapter 2 and move on to Chapter 3, which consists of 26 events—slightly fewer than Chapter 2.



Work on Chapter 3’s text is nearing completion. Out of 26 events, just 5 remain to be finished text-wise, and three writers are actively working on them. The text is expected to be fully completed this week, after which it will be integrated into the game and also sent to the translator and editor for further refinement in the meantime.

We also traditionally continued working on fixing bugs and various issues reported by players on Discord and other platforms. Huge thanks to everyone who helps us make the game better!

For example, we identified and fixed a rather specific issue that prevented the Lovense devices from connecting to the game under certain network configurations. To resolve this, we held a live call with the player, where they demonstrated the problem in real time, which helped us pinpoint the issue. Based on this, our programmer made the necessary code adjustments, compiled a test version, and sent it to the player for verification. After testing, the player confirmed that the issue was successfully resolved. Hurray!

We continue to closely monitor your feedback to promptly address any reported issues. If you encounter any bugs or errors, don’t hesitate to report them, and we’ll do our best to fix them as soon as possible!

Once we finish work on the release 0.12A, we plan to revise and update certain game mechanics to ensure they either feel like a natural part of the game or are streamlined or removed altogether.

One such mechanic is the earning and spending of Galleons. Currently, the system is quite basic, which isn’t necessarily a problem, but we believe it could use a refresh or improvement. We haven’t thoroughly explored this yet, but once 0.12A is released, we plan to analyze how players earn Galleons (or other currency) and how they spend them. The main goal is to make in-game currency feel meaningful and well-balanced.

We also want to make the process of earning currency more engaging and interactive so that it adds an extra layer of fun and challenge to the game. While these are just preliminary ideas, we will take a deeper look into this after completing the work on the current release.

And of course, an equally important question is what exactly Galleons can be spent on. The team already has many ideas, some of which are based on player suggestions gathered throughout development. However, final decisions will be made when we thoroughly review the earning mechanics to ensure that spending is logically balanced with income and naturally fits into the gameplay.

That’s all for today! We truly appreciate your continued support, donations, and feedback. Thank you so much!

We’ll be back soon with the next development update. Until then, take care and enjoy life!

Peace to everyone✌

Yours,
Sad Crabs


hat do you think about the process of earning Galleons in the game? Would you like to see new ways to earn in-game money or other currency? How do you feel about the current earning and spending system? Let us know by voting or leaving a comment below. Thank you!
1. The current system works perfectly for me—I’m comfortable earning and spending currency in the game.
2. I don’t mind grinding for currency, but I’d like more ways to earn it.
3. I don’t like routine grinding; I’d prefer earning currency through interesting and interactive events.
4. Currency like Galleons feels unnecessary in this game—it seems redundant, so it’s best to remove it altogether.
5. I just want to see the poll results.

I'm convinced they lost their old artist and didn't know what to do, so they just started using AI to generate fluff update posts and continue with that since it still makes them money.

There's probably just one guy left, and all he does is open up ChatGPT and DALL-E once a month. Anyone remember when they suddenly started making Hermoine look like a MtF trans weightlifter and characters started having extra fingers?

God, what a waste of a great idea. I wonder what their old artist is working on.

Did that happen? Are they seriously using AI? I'd really like to see it.

I haven't left this project, because it's my main working place right now o_O
It's not always easy to draw Hermione well and that's my personal struggle -_-
Other artists are also doing their best and I keep an eye on their drawing quality. But I definitely haven't drawn extra fingers. That sounds strange. Can you show me?

No, we don’t use AI. Also we often record the drawing process which you can see in our news.
The amount on Patreon has grown and the number of our artists has increased. I try to keep an eye on the quality but sometimes I can miss some things. Also once I drew a foot facing the wrong way on Twitch stream -_- That was embarrassing, but still not AI.
