That's kinda this games problem, it seems to be designed to be a fucking spiteful headache for the player. Nothing is fun or easy, just more obstacles between the player and fun or story.

That's kinda this games problem, it seems to be designed to be a fucking spiteful headache for the player. Nothing is fun or easy, just more obstacles between the player and fun or story.

I doubt it's designed to be a headache or in any way spiteful. The problem is that the people making Innocent Witches don't understand one very important aspect of a video game: balance. Sad Crab is deadset on trying to make a video game instead of the usual visual novels or cheaply made RPGs we see around here. The amount of mini-games, stat building, and puzzles makes that much abundantly clear. Unfortunately, ignoring the other flaws in their design process, Innocent Witches fails to strike a balance between effort and reward and without that balance the game feels like a struggle to play. It's not malice, it's inexperience and a lack of ability to self reflect. All you have to do is read a few pages and see how the people who work on the game, JoeBanks excluded, who post here respond to any form of criticism. By and large one of two things happen, either they attack you for daring not to suck their dick or they deny the issue and malign your intelligence.

One of the biggest problems with patreon funded game development, especially projects that are based on a popular intellectual property, is that all the people making them see is the money rolling in. Most people who support a patreon don't post on the page or critique the project. So the ability to recognize and grow from mistakes is severely hampered in patreon developers. There's no boss telling them they fucked up, there's no lead designer coaching them on their mistakes, there's just a largely silent echo chamber that tells them what they want to hear because they drew a Hermione with nice titties.

I can clarify, I said "seems" like meaning it feels that way in gameplay, to me anyway. I doubt they are doing it intentionally either, but it sure does feel that way. Tedious gameplay with no reward, chalking it up to inexperience feeles very generous.

So what art level does this game have?

It looks okay, probably autodidactic, slightly advanced highschool level. Perhaps by someone who was refused at art college. Or didn't make the grades there. Only reason why this game got so much attention is the Harry Potter IP, without which the game could be reduced to absolutely nothing.


And since you were asking - There are in fact several games with actually great original art, which are literally "cranking out" content. Example this game which delivered a multiple amount of hardcore content, in a small fraction of your development time:


The Big Beyond

Granted that the artist and his game had to learn & improve a lot over the course of the development, this game is out for less than two years and already smashes Innocent Witches completely in regards to the amount and quality of sexual content.

You should be ashamed that your entire team with its hilariously bloated patreon budget has accomplished so much less in over threefold the time period.




And what exactly does Innocent Witches have until today?

A mind-boggingly stupid story going in circles around lame-ass nerd jokes, which probably aren't even funny for Harry Potter fans.

In all these years you had one great, interactive sex scene in a very early release, the pseudo-rape scene with the old teacher. Then it took what, five years (?) until the next H-scene, which was the very same recycled scene, just this time without actual sex!

Instead there is so much bullshit, like the dressing options for the in-game advisor who can explain a thousand things you don't even need to know in order to play the game. Instead players just need to look into the quest journal to proceed, so the whole advisor thing is just another obvious "play for time" measure in your patreon milking scheme.

And instead of explaining why things don't go forward - example the original artist who did the first Minerva scene was obviously replaced (or had a stroke and lost most of his artistic abilities) - all i see are arrogant insults against the community.

To each their own but no, this art is no way on par with the Innocent Witches art.

Here's an even better guide that goes 2 steps : unlock the gallery and don't play the game

if you had played the game you would know that your "guide" doesn't unlock the same things as mine.

A few costumes for a girl you only see when you need help compared to all the scenes in the gallery (even those you can't unlock without restarting at least 3x) ....... Yeah, I'll take mine

Ok something I don't understand. According to the walkthrough, in chapter 4, I have to look at the IMVOIS codex at 10 am in the bookshelf, but it doesn't appear. How come?

 

[Hazart]

The android version keeps crashing after i play a while. Is there a better android version or this is the only one?

Better Android = PC

I think i'm starting to see why projects here get abandoned so often, it must be difficult to remain vigilant and continue progress when you have so many people just constantly shitting on you for what feels like no reason. Ah well, at least this Dev seems like they can deal with all of the shit, I know I couldn't.

Indie games getting abandoned is a common thing. Especially those games that spent over 5 years of development. However, they won't be abandoned by "many people are constantly shitting", they would be abandoned by Patreon supporters' leaving .

Anyone wants to share the images of the lates patreon news?

Alright, just gonna ask a question that's probably been asked 1000 times last year alone, but the search function is awful and does fuck all to answer:

How much actual sex is in the game? How many hours of gameplay are there? And how far into the game do you have to go, to get to the good stuff?

Actual schlong into girl : about 2-3. There's lots of jobs and teasing though
Gameplay : over 10 hours. 9+ of those are reading
Far into the game : you get 1 scene in the intro, the rest is sprinkled all over the place (and pretty thinly)

As I put in every reply : unlock the gallery and don't "play" the game. You save having to replay the game 3+ times to unlock everything (and even then, you can bug out and still have stuff locked)

You can also change search results in your account preferences, not the search window (pretty dumb but look where you are)

There is at least:

Toys and fingers:
Luna - act 2 ch 1 old plot (L2d) Hermione - act 2 chapter 2 new plot

Spanking and titjob:
Susan - act 2 ch 1 and new plot (L2d) Elf maid - act 1 ch 3

Handjob:
Hermione - act 2 ch 2 old plot (L2d)

Blowjob:
Ginny - act 1 ch 5 old plot (L2d) Xandria - act 2 ch 2 old plot Parvati - act 2 ch 2 new plot

Sex:
Daphne - act 2 ch 1 old plot Vampire - act 2 ch 1 new plot (L2d) Minerva - prologue

Anal:
Ginny - act 2 ch 2 new plot And

100+ other small scenes and ero/porn content
And don't listen to nerds without a personal life who assure everyone not to play our game, although he himself only played version 0.6, which was released 3 years ago.

I said I stopped restarting to play the story at 0.6, I didn't stop unlocking the gallery yet. And since unlocking the gallery removes having to read through 3 novels over 20 hours and skips all the bugs, while also having more stuff to see than actually playing the game over 3 times to maybe unlock everything (still debatable with the bugs), I'm enjoying the game way more than every1 else who still insists on playing normally .......
