Hello, witches and wizards!
Another 10-day development cycle has come to an end, which means 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 present a freshly illustrated section of the Forbidden Forest (work-in-progress), filled with intricate details that create a magical atmosphere. The twisted trees with peculiar bark patterns, tangled vines, lush vegetation, and ominous crimson mushrooms all come together to immerse you in a world of mystery and magic, inviting you to explore this enchanting part of the forest. This part is planned to be used as a background for a fullscreen scene in 0.12A, as well as other scenes that will happen in future updates. Finally, since it’s a work-in-progress version, it will be expanded with more easter eggs and details referencing other game and media universes.
Now, onto the development news! Over the past ten days, we’ve focused on the following tasks:
Our primary effort was dedicated to planning and writing the script for a small seasonal event we aim to release closer to New Year’s time. This event will feature two new holiday costumes for the students, along with other exciting additions. The script and texts have been completed and will soon be sent for editing.
Meanwhile, Siserg has started working on the artwork for the event. The tentative release window is set between December 24th and 31st, depending on how quickly all the tasks will be completed.
Another area of focus was addressing some of the tasks from the backlog. These included updating Ginny’s quest stage, where players need to guess the password to her diary, correcting how the titles are used in the English version of the game (Miss, Mister, Professor, Headmaster and so on) and making sure the uppercase is used properly for them, and fixing improper usage of the terms
Faculty and
House, along with several other more technical fixes and adjustments.
We also fixed some bugs, including an issue in the elf scene when auto-text scrolling was enabled, a problem with obtaining Hagrid’s address in Chapter 5 of Act 1, and interactions with the Transgression Potion in Chapter 3 of Act 1 and afterwards. Additionally, we added a hint to the memory page indicating that some memories will only become visible there after activating the old plot.
On top of that we’ve updated the files for the game’s music. After mastering stage during the preparation of the first part of the game’s OST, the tracks have been normalized and refined to deliver high quality and a more enjoyable listening experience.
In addition, we continued working on animating polaroid photos. One of them, "Forest Ambush," was quickly completed and has already been added to the game. Work on the next animation is underway. In the process we’ve updated the photo viewing mechanics for those photos which have both static and animated versions. As a result you’ll be able to choose how to display such images: static, animated, or set a preference to always show one format.
Finally, we’ve made significant progress on the next major update, 0.12A. The second part of the patch is being formed, and tasks are being assigned to the artists. Since part of the team will be focused on the seasonal event, the pace of work on 0.12A will slow slightly. However, we’re confident that the seasonal event will delight you and make up for this delay.
That’s all for now, folks! We truly appreciate your continued support, whether through donations or feedback. Thank you so much!
We’ll be back soon with more updates. Until then, take care and remember to enjoy life!
Peace ✌
Your,
The Sad Crabs.
Based on the result of one of the previous polls, it was confirmed that you liked the new additions to the prefects' wardrobe introduced in the recent updates. We too love new items of clothing for innocent witches, so we would like to know your opinion about which new things you would like to see on your favorite Hogwarts student? It could be one of the items that could be given to her, or it could be part of an event where she gets and tries on the item of clothing herself. Please vote or leave a comment below!
New clothing item I would like you to add to the students’ wardrobe:
- Lingerie.
- Swimsuits (both from the old plot and new ones).
- Alterations for the school uniform.
