Nice game but the Pink Potions! is a bit misleading. It says to add Pink stuff to smelly stuff then add more smelly stuff meaning, Sulfur + Cupid + Sulfur. Not Cupid + Sulfur + Sulfur, meaning the Bimbo Potion was actually the hardest for me to make. Not sure how that makes me feel. :p Maybe change the order or the recipe?

Already discussed here. It will not be changed.

Thanks for all the support! It means a lot. I was a little bit worried about releasing weekly(ish) as people tend to have unrealistic expectations about how much can be worked on in a small amount of time but I'm pleasantly surprised, everyone has been very positive.

I hear you. People want quality, but quality takes time, and people are impatient.

I don't know the answer. Some games have 1 update per 2-3 months and while some complain the game survives. While a shorter update cycle keeps attention on the game, but can you get enough quality in that way? I don't know.

I wish you luck. Once you are more established I might even join your patreon.

Neat game so far! Here's my thoughts after seeing everything the game has to offer at the moment:
-I wish there was a little more "actual sexy stuff." The rat furry transformation? Adorable and naked, though... that's it. The dickgrowth? Hot, but only having the two spurts of cum is a little lackluster. If there were extra animations or longer text afterwards, even if it just ended up in masturbating in different ways, I feel like it'd be a hotter game overall.

-A couple of the results feel lacking in other ways, too. The other uniform? Eh, sure, it's revealing and embarrassing but in the end it's just a change of clothes. Considering it's from an all-girls' school (and a private one no less), you could tie into the (somewhat based-in-reality) stereotype of those schools being apparent hotbeds for lesbianism, and have her change mentally, wanting to go slut it up with a bunch of girls. Not sure how you could make the peer-into-past bit more interesting, though. Maybe it fills her head so much she has to go and "try out" the willow for herself?

-The direct parody of Harry Potter doesn't really mesh with me, and Hermione as the character in question just feels a little... off. The setting can be looked past at least, but Hermione doesn't seem like the character to be testing out unknown "forbidden" potions (without good reason.) I feel like maybe if the girl was an original character it'd work better? A set-up like she's falling behind in Potions class so she's decided to salvage her grades by testing out some potions she's never heard of, and her logic might be "oh if these potions are ~forbidden~ and I can show off how good I am by making these potions" or something (dumb) like that.

With aaaaallll that being said though, I realize that given how the game's been made and what you've already put in, it's probably way too much work to implement changes like that. (Especially for what amounts to a series of suggestions from a guy who can't even support the game financially, what a shmuck.)

I'm inclined to agree with that, in fact.
I'd say it's better for the dev to just change her name now.
Dev, consider the fact that your game and your patreon seem to be gaining more and more attention at a steady pace.

More and more people will find out about it, and while that's a good thing cause more money, the chances of gifs and screenshots ending up on places like twitter and reddit will grow ever higher and you might wake up with a copyright/DMCA/whatever strike one day. Call me paranoid, but I say better safe than sorry.
I think it's best to just change the name, it's not like people play this because of who the character is, they play it because of your art style.

For your first two points, I think you figured it out in the last paragraph. I would love to be able to make each animation 200 frames long and have multiple stages to the scenes but I am the singular dev, I work a day job full time, nearly everything ins hand drawn and animated, I am on a weekly update cycle and just to remind you, this is only the second update. After a couple more weeks, once patrons have a bit more faith I put out consistent updates and won't run away with their money, I'll switch over to monthly releases which will allow for bigger updates and more ambitious animations. But I think the key is:
it's probably way too much work
Have realistic expectations! I wasn't working at it constantly but it took me around 6 months to get to releasing the first build.

For your last point, I will be allowing the player to change the names of things in the future. Also, the plan for this game is that it's animations and code will feed into a larger, more story-driven game where there will be time for setting up the Witch as falling behind etc. The scope for the potion room is deliberately small.

I'm inclined to agree with that, in fact.

Already the plan! You're right about the DMCA stuff, it's part of the reason I haven't posted about the game in other places. You'll be prompted to choose the Witch's name and the school name at the beginning of the game. Probably the update after next I'll implement a namemod, where it auto changes the names so the player doesn't have to input a whole essay once there are more names in the game.

I actually quite enjoy these sort of games - the whole mix ingredients combo and see what you get. Wish there were more like it. I remember playing an old Flash game when I was younger called Bartender: The Right Mix and it was sort of like this but more simplified (and no porn, lol).
