You're porbably right.

 

[anuragk]

You're porbably right.

Will there be more focus on animations or new scenes? Please break the suspense

You're porbably right.

Come on Joe. Chin up, mate. This game is a diamond in the rough--you are getting there.

 

[anubis1970]

^ I agree. This game is actually going somewhere now that Joe's taken the reigns. It may not be as fast as some may like, but I firmly believe that good things come to those who wait.

Animator is a separate person from the artists, so all old scenes will get the live2d touch. Right now it's a hack to get it working. So new scene and animations ftw. I almost don't want to say anything, better to underpromise and over deliver.

It certainly has potential, I don't think so many people would be disappointed with it if it didn't and it certainly wouldn't have enough patreon support to keep going if it didn't have people willing to put up with how poorly it has been going for so long. The character art style and detail of the environments far exceeds most other games both 3D and 2D in this particular genre. Compare it to Witch Trainer Silver which has spent most of the last few years hacking content together using already existing assets to create frankensteined new characters and scenes before FINALLY striking out and making new artwork, and the difference is night and day. Innocent Witches has potential, it's just being wasted with godawful game design. The potential is there to be good.

So, I've played around two hours and I'm enjoying the game so far, but I don't think I'm nearly 10% of the game completed, it's just so much text. So I just wanted to know beforehand, why does this game has such a low score here?

f the game had had sex at some point and not the content that it had before, perhaps but they have not added sex, then the patreones are not stupid and stop supporting these programmers who only lengthen the final product

That is a common problem in lewd games. When you want to play a smut game, you don't want intrincate game systems, lenghty politics dialogs, difficult combats, or excessive and long grindin, you want to enjoy the characters and first and foremost, the sex, Legend of Queen Opala, for example has some of this problems, hours of story, quests and going around without not knowing well what to do for a quick sex art cg (top notch quality, but too little, too short).

This game is accursed with the same malady. There's tons of text, tons of grind-quest, you have a scene with McGonagall, then she practically begs you to fuck her during the game, and you have no chance on foing so. Hours of content, hours of text....for mostly nothing. I couldn't believe when after...6 hours? I FINALLY had a blowjob scene with ginny. (Which also was super annoying to play since the game has this pauses between dialogue bubbles and it doesn't let you read and advance at your own rhythm, because the looped animation has to loop 200000 times before you can read the next dialogue, and that's SUPER FRUSTRATING. is that, or the super accelerated auto skip. That should be adressed too)
I was rooting for Daphne, but the game is, like it has been called in this thread before, the most blueball experience I had with porn games. It's like it doesn't have the amount of sex art needed for even an early alpha, and the creator just stretched the narrative/quest parts so he could keep charging the patreons for the updates.

Innocent Witches can be one of the greatest porn games. It has a fantastic art style, it has a beloved fantasy universe, and it's not a "1st person DAZ render sex game visual novel" that overpopulates this genre, it's unique. But right now is basically trash due to 4 issues.

-This game needs content. Sex content. Tons of it. Badly. More scenes. More characters to fuck or to have a casual encounter with
-It also needs to let you read at your own pace, during sex animations, if I click after I watch the loop a couple of times, it means I want to advance, not that I want to see the loop 20 more times.
-Third issue is language: I understand that the author/s are from Russia, but some things got super weird and barely understandable in the translation, that, mixed with some bugs, make the game sort of confusing to play in certain parts.
-4 Due to lack of content, you find yourself in lots of situation when the dialogue suggests there's a sex chance here, then it's a lie, there's none, either there's a blueballing dialogue that goes nowhere, either there's a "you died" situation, (like with the mermaid, if we can't fuck her because she drowns us, and we have her bra, let us see her tits, and/or let her suck us off, this is a porn parody game! it should be exploring all the sex opportunities the script throws to the player, not leave them hanging like that!)

It has a low score because it's a mess. It's been around for nearly four years and it has less sexual content in it than many projects do in its first release. It has multiple quest lines in it that are poorly explained and expects the player to be able to figure things out on little to no instruction. It also assumes a certain level of knowledge on Harry Potter and then doesn't bother to explain things to people more interested in the art style than the fiction it's parodying.

For those of you that are new to this game. Since couple of updates back the ship has a new captain at the helm Joe Banks. Since his arrival the game moves in a positive direction. So be a bit more patient with the game.

Will he retouch the game up to this point? I mean there would (imo) be huge imbalance if the first several hours of gameplay are like it is now and then suddenly satanic amount of smut appears.

God i HOPE. I BEG for a satanic amount of smut to appear.

From what I understand, Joe and the current team will be going back and editing the early chapters to condense the massive walls of text you have to wade through, but first they're concentrating on getting some decent content into the game.

I agree that the game needs to have MUCH less grinding side quests and MORE sex scenes, and not too many teases and no context at all... I'm honestly disappointed.

The artwork is superb, I think it's wasted potential to just have 1-2 H-scenes and a lot of teasing.

I like the little background characters where you can see someone like Merula from the Hogwarts Mystery app game, characters like Babydoll of Sucker Punch, and many others. I thought this was a lot of fun. I thought they could be interacted with a bit more.

Also I think the environment should be larger or more interactable. Repeating the same rooms for hours with nothing new or interesting gets boring quickly, because we have to do the same stuff a lot.

On Act I, after trying Daphne's mini game for about 30-35 times, and guessing almost %90 of her lingerie correct, I gave up because it was too repetitive and not worth it. Also even though I was going by walkthrough and giving the exact answers to her expressions, it kept saying I was wrong and I lost my strike. I thought I'm not going to bother anymore. (Small edit: She sometimes started giving 2 different expressions to 1 guess, and I didn't know what to do at this point. I started answering with the second expression, she said wrong. I started answering with the first one, she still said wrong.)

Again on Act I; I also had to give up Mermaid’s Treasure quest because (according to the walkthrough) after summoning Snape informally ("look what I found"), nothing could be done with McGonagall. I tried weekdays, weekends, official, informal mails, every hour. Nope, she doesn't give any extra answers, there is nothing in her dialogue. I thought I'm not her fan anyway and gave up. Maybe it could work on another arc now, I don't know.

Sonya has absolutely no point at all. Buying clothes for Sonya does nothing. Basically, Sonya does nothing, at least so far. Maybe these could be improved. Also I wish I could stop her from saying things like "Nya <3"... I thought she was going to be a guide and help out whenever we were lost during a quest, but she did nothing.

One last thing: The walkthrough (The one that's a google document; sorry can't post links since I'm a new member) isn't exactly a walkthrough :/ I mean at this point, the book in the upper right corner was more of a walkthrough than this document. Saying things like "this does something" isn't a help to people who are lost. Step by step explanations were better, but I still didn't understand why some things didn't work even though I was following everything.
The quest order in this document is very very messy too, I didn't know I was on Act I of the walkthrough until I put on the Diadem.

I know that the game is still developing, but I wanted to share my thoughts after playing it for a couple of days. Now I'm on Act II.

So far I like it, but definitely, 100% needs more H-scenes and much less grind quests.


Edit: Question!
I lost the walkthrough where there was a dark background, the instructions were like the google document's but some things like Daphne's expressions during her mini game, were explained by screenshots. I think I found it here on this forum, but I can't find it again. Does anybody have that walkthrough? Thanks.
