Hey there, Wizards and Witches!
We've been hard at work over the past 10 days, and it's time to share our progress and plans for Innocent Witches.
First up, we've got an art preview coming in the next post. We're continuing to create collectible photos that get more erotic with each stage. Today, we're excited to introduce a new collectible card featuring the charming Luna Lovegood, lying on the floor with a bottle of magic potion in her hands, wrapped in playful tentacles. Her teasing smile suggests she's thoroughly enjoying herself. Keen-eyed players might even spot a little easter egg referencing another universe.
This photo of Luna is similar to those we've previously showcased featuring Daphne and Ginny. We plan to release similar sets for other characters in the game. Alongside the regular versions, there will be more erotic ones that can be unlocked in various ways. Each photo will have three stages, with the final stage being the most revealing.
In update 0.11B, you'll find a new full-screen background for the main menu with its own music theme. This background can be unlocked by choosing Luna as your waifu and completing her storyline. We're also actively working on Live2D animations for this background and plan to include them in the current update.
We're almost done with an event in the Potions classroom where Marcus will be supervising while Snape is away. As we mentioned before, there will be funny consequences of mistakes students make while brewing potions. We've put a good amount of effort into crafting this quest, illustrating comedic and erotic positions for the students, as well as their emotions and unpredictable behavior, to make the scenes more lively, interesting, and of course, fun.
The script and texts for the next chapter, continuing the events of the first chapter of the second act, will be completed before the end of June, and then will be translated and edited in July. These texts then will be integrated into the game, allowing us to release the chapter this summer according to the roadmap. Meanwhile, we'll keep adding side content with existing characters.
We're also fixing the pesky bugs of course. For instance, we fixed a bug with hint arrows at the start of the game. Previously, they pointed to incorrect items when the extended inventory type was selected, but this issue is now resolved, and hints display correctly. Additionally, we've added a new feature allowing you to quickly move items between the wardrobe and inventory by holding [SHIFT] and clicking the left mouse button on the desired item. This simplifies and speeds up inventory management, making the gameplay more convenient and enjoyable.
Now, for our upcoming plans. The final stage of the current development cycle will be focused on finishing the main side quest. After that, we'll start working on a new chapter, creating and implementing new animations, and expanding the range of items in the store. Additionally, we're preparing technical improvements for smoother gameplay.
Almost all planned Live2D animations for patch 0.11B featuring Minerva and the Elf Maid have been tested and added to the game. Only one scene remains: a Live2D animation with Minerva and the Maje-stick, which will be added after we finish with the main side quest.
At the moment, the main side quest is about 70% complete, and we plan to finish it in the current development cycle. This quest will introduce interactions with new characters and a new full-screen scene at the end of the quest.
We're also considering adding new game mechanics and improving character interactions to make the gameplay more diverse and engaging. We've already started working in this direction, enhancing interactions with the world and introducing advanced features for character customization.
More on this: recently, we conducted a survey among our Discord channel members. Many expressed a desire to diversify their favorite waifus' wardrobes. Previously, we had already introduced new stockings for the waifus. However, the survey results showed that additional expansion for the wardrobe for the waifus is also in high demand. As a result, all the waifus will have a new assortment of stockings available in the store. We also added new hand positions and skirts to show off the stockings from the front. These additions increase customization options, allowing players to decide how their favorite innocent witch will look. In the future, we plan to introduce the ability to choose what the Head Girls wear in full-screen mode when visiting Marcus in the Headmaster's office.
Additionally, interaction with the Elf Maid will be expanded. Starting from the second chapter of the second act, you will be able to summon her just like the elf merchant Bobby. This will allow you to change her clothes, among other things. If you unlock all available outfits, you'll receive a pleasant bonus. And don't worry, even if you give her a sock, she'll still stay with you!
Now, as usual, a poll.
Which of the planned additions are you looking forward to the most?
- Collectible photos / cards
- Potions classroom event
- Expansion to the wardrobe for waifus and the Elf Maid
- Collecting ingredients for the expanded potions brewing mechanic
