Hello, wizards and witches!
Over the past few months, we've been keeping you updated on our plans and progress with your favorite Innocent Witches. At this stage, the work on version 0.11B is nearing completion. Today, we’ll share what has been done so far and which final touches are needed before the release. We’ll also talk about our plans and current work for the next update.
First, here’s an art preview (available in the next post). Today, it features Xandria looking for evidence against Hogwarts students and teachers with Marcus in the Abandoned Wing's bathroom. Judging by her satisfied expression, the strategically scattered beer bottles are excellent proof of the new Headmaster’s incompetence.
Now, onto the main news!
All necessary art corrections for the main side quest of patch 0.11B have been made. These corrections involve minor tweaks and fixes that arise once the art is integrated into the game. For example, we might decide to add an additional pose for a minion or adjust minor inaccuracies in the artwork.
Our testers have also conducted intensive testing, ensuring that this quest runs smoothly from start to finish.
Furthermore, additional interactions with the Elf maid in Chapter 2, Act 2, have been fully completed. Besides direct interactions such as changing her clothes and initiating scenes, players will now be able to inquire about her well-being through short dialogues, similar to interactions available with other characters. This addition brings more life and coherence to her role in the game.
It’s worth mentioning that these updates fit well into the 0.11B release. However, moving forward, our focus will shift more towards main characters, as previously stated. Secondary characters will still receive additional content, but the primary focus will be on the main characters.
Additionally, we have updated the logic of many events related to the missing waifu. During her absence, events will now temporarily halt and resume only upon her return. This overhaul took significant time as there were many temporary fixes and workarounds in place, which often confused players and made it seem like the waifu was never missing. With these events now properly scripted, the storyline flows more consistently and logically.
The insertion of Live2D animations for the scene with Minerva in Chapter 1, Act 2, is also complete. Most available art featuring her is now used and accessible in the new storyline. However, some art and animations (like the post-shower scene and cunnilingus) will be added later when a fitting place in the plot becomes available.
In addition, the artists are already actively working on content for patch 0.12A. For example, all sorts of... outrageous events are starting to happen at Hogwarts classes!
As you can see, a lot of work has been done, but a few final touches are still needed before the 0.11B update is fully ready for release. We still need to add new wardrobe elements, such as stockings and tights for your favorite prefects, which we have showcased before, and ensure they are accessible through the appropriate logic in the code.
We are also working on introducing a new background for the main menu and updating the background switching functionality, which will be based on the Hogwarts Houses. Additionally, we need to complete the first half of the mini-game with Hermione and update its logic.
Finally, before releasing the update, we plan to fix several minor bugs, insert edits and emotions, and address other tasks that arise during the process based on your feedback and reports. After these additions, the update will be ready for release.
Now, as usual, a poll. Wait… where did it go?! Ah, right. The part with the poll has moved to the end of the post to have a better grasp of the context for the choices in the poll.
That's all for today, friends! We greatly appreciate that you stay with us and continue to support the development through donations and feedback. Thank you very much!
We’ll meet again very soon in the next news release. Until then, take care and don’t forget to enjoy life!
Peace to the universe✌
Yours,
Sad Crabs.
