Dear Witches & Wizards! Welcome to our weekly DevUpdate!
But first, here's a little dad joke approved by fisherman Jimmy from Dale:
A mermaid is half-cute
...
The other half is just some lady.

As always, a joke is best accompanied by a list of things done for the next release, so here it is:

• Finished 77 renders with Kayla, Samantha, Ahchi and Ashley for version 3.7.1
• Retouched 74 renders to maximize their magical atmosphere
• Finished 2 amazing 60fps animations for version 3.7.1
• Finished planning the main storyline for version 3.8.1
• Finished planning Haley's storyline for version 3.8.1

That's it for today! Stay tuned for more information, and have a great week!
Sincerely,
Bear in the Night team.

MarsUltor alright, I get that. But I'm curious about the other things the other commenter talked about and the writing in general.

Ofc one should watch the tags but as you aptly pointed out, just a tag can be not enough to assess the content.

I agree that tags are not a perfect reflection of game content, but they are generally an pretty good indicator. I should also note that I was not being accusatory with my "...that's on you" comment, but it was more of an emphasis on the need to do one's homework when choosing games, and on managing one's expectations regarding games we choose.

With regard to game dialogue, there has been a fair amount of criticism of Lust Academy's dialogue quality. IMO the dialogue quality isn't great, but it isn't the worst I've seen, either. Its quality varies throughout the game; you can go through a stretch of dialogue that's fine, then come to one or more lines that are awkward, or cringy, or don't quite make sense. There's definitely a bit of an "English from Google Translate" vibe to some of it. To be fair, writing fluid conversational English dialogue with unique nuanced "voices" for different characters is a specialized and relatively rare skillset, even for native English-speakers (and there is obviously a difference between British English and American English), and is potentially even more challenging for non-native English speakers. Honestly, only a small number of the games I've played here have had especially good dialogue, so I value it when I encounter it, but I also tend to overlook dialogue deficiencies if a game has enough other desirable attributes.

How can I import savegames from season 1 to season to, and then to season 3?

 

[Nemo56]

You need to EXPORT (or better "transfer") a game from S1 to S2 using the function on the save screen. Then in S2 you start a new game using the save game it detects when doing so. Same from S2 to S3.

Be aware that this only works in sandbox mode and will transfer only your stats and inventory.

For Season 1, I'm missing a single gallery scene - the first scene in the second row on page 2. Can anyone clue me in on where to look for it? I have no doubt the answer has already been posted on here somewhere, but haven't had any luck with searches.

I just started playing this, but almost done with season 1. What is the ingredients for the fifth potion? It hasn't given me the ability to learn it, and everything I try fails. So, can someone tell me what to put in the cauldron to make it appear? Thanks!

Moonwalk Tincture

Lunar Nymphaea, Mermaid Blood, and Dandelion Dust.

Lunar Nymphaea is harvested from the fountain on campus during certain nights.

Sadly, this game is unplayable for android phones.

I had no problem transfering from s1 to s2, but I'm not getting the banner to transfer from s2 to s3, do you know anything that may be causing this?

Not really, maybe you don't have the latest version?
Check the checklog on page 1 when it was introduced.

It does not give me the option to pick anything in season 1. Does that not happen until season 2 or something?

Like I said, it's only on certain nights. I believe there's also an event linked to them starting to spawn. I'm afraid I can't remember exactly what that event is or what the trigger is though, it's been a very long time, sorry.

The potion itself is linked to Audrey though. Have you progressed with her as much as possible?

jfi: Tuesday night.

 

[PR Mitter]

Any idea when it will be completed? This really looks good. I can't wait to play it. I love magical stories.

had perfect breasts why would she need a developer or subscribers to probably want her to have these terrible buoys and not breasts why disfigure her with this

 

[Talmadge]

Progress the "Sam" and "Audrey" quest lines to discover this potion,

I'm trying to get 100 with everyone before I do Leona and Arthur. Waiting for Audrey to "make the next move". Been through a couple weeks and nothing as of yet. How long does it take for this to happen?

MarsUltor sure. I mean, I began to write smut in English as a non-native, and I've come to realise how difficult dialogue can be.

 

[Chimera_za]
