Hello, Wizards and Witches!
January has come to an end, which means it's time to share the latest updates on the development of Innocent Witches.
While most of the team was on vacation for the first 10 days (or trying to recover from the holidays), the overall development never stopped. Some team members continued working on backlog tasks, focusing on improving gameplay and reintegrating content from the old storyline. At the same time, various fixes and improvements were implemented to further polish the game.
The past ten days have been dedicated to integrating content for the next patch. The second chapter of Act II is now about one-third complete, and the process is picking up speed. Along the way, we are making small adjustments—refining existing artwork and adding details that naturally fit into specific scenes.
As for the third chapter of Act II, which will make up the second half of patch 0.12A, work on the text is nearly finished. The deadline for the scenario and the texts is set for February 9. By this time, the prototype of the second chapter should already be complete, so the integration process should not slow down or be delayed due to unfinished text or artwork for the third chapter.
Meanwhile, planning for patch 0.12B is also underway. This update will introduce secondary content, including further character relationship development, an updated main menu background featuring Hermione, new and improved polaroid photos, and other exciting additions.
Additionally, our Live2D animator has begun working on the updated main menu background featuring Hermione. The format will be similar to the existing one with Luna, which, based on player feedback, has been highly praised (and we completely agree!).
We will also continue optimizing the gameplay by refining or removing mechanics that disrupt immersion, or which just become a nuisance instead of something interesting to do.
We understand that delays can be frustrating, but development continues daily, bringing the release ever closer. Thank you for your patience and support—we can’t wait for you to experience the second and third chapters of Act II!
That’s all for today, friends! We truly appreciate you staying with us and supporting the development through your donations and feedback. Thank you so much!
We’ll meet again very soon in the next news update. Until then, take care and don’t forget to enjoy life!
Peace to everyone✌
Yours,
Sad Crabs.
Finally, the traditional poll!
In Innocent Witches, quests constantly unlock and progress as you play, and the quest journal helps track them. It ensures you don’t lose your way and occasionally provides hints for the next steps.
We’d like to know how you prefer to play the game. Suppose you finish a dialogue with a character where the next step is mentioned or hinted at, and a notification appears saying that the quest journal has been updated. What do you do at that moment? Do you follow the hint from the dialogue immediately to do the next step in the quest, or do you check the quest journal for details first?
This information will help us decide on a potential improvement to how the quest progression announcements behave.
