I would like to see different potions with different effects, like shrinking or something.
Feel free to put potion effect ideas in the thread. All effects doesn't need big events tied to them. They can be shorter, something that adds things to the wardrobe that fits better as a potion than clothing or joke potions.

That's a pretty hyperbolic way to phrase what's been going on. This project's changed hands a couple of times, and content made by previous people had all piled up into varying degrees of buggy, unfinished mess. The current team (who seem to have a pretty clear vision of where they're going and how to get there) have cut out a lot of stuff, but the stuff they've replaced it with has all been of a significantly higher quality and consistency. The reworked routes aren't all back to where they were before all this started going on, though, so a lot of folks are grouchy about how long it's taking to rework everything. There have been a lot of outfits added compared to the story content, but I'd guess it's because their artists can easily knock out clothes while the story content/under the hood stuff is being worked on by the programmers. If you can get your hands on older versions there's some good stuff in there that's no longer in the game, but eventually there's going to be much better new stuff to replace it so eh.
Summarized nicely, a lot of content was very hard to work with as well from a technical standpoint. We spent months trying to work with Luna's content specifically to avoid disappointing or angering people. But in the end we felt it was more worth it both for the mod in the long run and to be able to add more for her to rework it even though it will take a while to get back to the "same" point. I have incorporated some of the old writing into the events that already existed but also improved it a bit to pull in more of her characteristics from the books. The masturbate being the one currently implemented which has some old writing.

The old favours used mostly editing in photoshop and tracing of other Akabur scenes which limited a lot of what we could do. And despite popular belief, not something we want to do, not only from a moral standpoint, imagine being stuck with the characters all facing the same direction for all scenes.

Hope you guys enjoy the potions update, it's been a long time coming. It has some of the original themes of the old potions but also now is properly integrated into the corruption system, so they include different corruption variants, new public variants and choices, replay variants. I'd say playing them at least once when they become available and higher whoring levels (sex levels) is worth it.

Yeh, I'm still gonna have to pass. I love the dom luna too much to download this new patch. Looking forward to more content though, so...cheers.

I will play it, but I know already I probably won't enjoy it as much as if there was some continuation for Cho, Luna, or basically any character. On the other hand I never gave a fuck about potions, and I know some people wanted this back so bad. So I hope next time we'll be done with the potions, or if we're not, that there will be at least also story continuation for various characters. Cho, Tonks, Luna, anyone really.

And now that Snape has an office, I'd like to see him have fun with students too, even if it's not Hermione or any of the ones Genie fucks (I wouldn't mind if it was some of those personnally, but people might disagree with me on this), but at least seeing some random Slytherin girls under his desk.

In the far future, I'd really like to see some kind of gameplay where Genie and Snape send girls to eachother, to be trained in specific things that only one of them can do. And then create a secret brothel inside Hogwarth with the most fully trained girls. Tonks would be the "Mama" of this brothel of course. And there would be a bit of brothel management gameplay too.
See you in 2034 for this update.

"a lot of outfits" - most of the "end" scenes use the starting school outfit - namely Cho's, Luna's, Astoria's, even Hermione's. Same applies at the scenes with Tonks. No matter what outfit you placed on them, when things become really interesting they show up with the same starting ugly clothes. And I understand why - that would mean they have to create a separate scene for each outfit combo in order to fix this, and that would take years. However, at least the talking figure (not the one in the scene, but the one appearing near text window) should be able to keep the custom outfit, but it doesn't. And that begs the question - why creating so many outfits in the 1st place anyway? For playing dress up doll in a porn game?

And speaking of artists... apparently none of them have seen Jade Olivia (actress playing Astoria Greengrass).

What I'm trying to say here - and I believe I'm not alone in this - while I'm enjoying the game (a lot), I can't be blind of it's shortcomings. Every update takes a very long time, and the "selling point" - graphics - are made just for the sake of it, not to be useful. Corruption progression doesn't make any sense sometimes, the decisions regarding certain characters are forced and out of place. Most expected developments (Tonks, group sex, Hermione gang bang, etc) were either removed or were pushed down the priority list. (And I'm not even starting nitpicking lol.)

Anyway, I guess I'm asking too much. It's just a porn game, right? All we want is to nut - no matter how, right? RIGHT?

This is not just a porn game, it's a very good porn game with the potential to be a great one. The overall art style is excellent, the story threads (once all bugs are worked out) play out nicely, the humour is good and the corruption side of it is very good.

I am trying to make my own game, and with currently nothing to show for it my mind boggles at the complexity of it. I'm not saying you need to try and make a game in order to make criticisms, but you really should be aware of how difficult this is. Even at this stage, top marks.

It is implied by the writing that the clothes you ask characters to wear are worn explicitly in your office, but never outside of it (Don't look at me, I didn't come up with that idea :D), but the real reason behind this behaviour is that it would be impossible to account for every combination of clothes and make other characters that are already present in the room react to their poor fashion choices in writing, so we had to make some compromises in that regard.

Instead, we want to incorporate progressively more negligee clothing to each event based on character progression (hence the existence of Outfit Scheduling), but we still haven't had the time to implement it in everything.

Most outfits are created during downtime/meantime, so they do not take away from the development of content.

At the moment, outfits exist mostly for its dress-up aspect. Some will enjoy it, some won't. Cannot win them all.

And speaking of artists... apparently none of them have seen Jade Olivia (actress playing Astoria Greengrass).
To be honest, we never really cared much about the movie representation of character cast, and the only characters truly based on it are Hermione and Luna, the rest of them are based on artist's imagination and vision (which may be influenced by the movies to a certain degree but I digress).

It's true that each update takes a long time to produce, it is also true that there are oversights and shortcomings, but there's only so much two people can do in a single time frame.

You read it right, the potion update was brought to you by mostly two people, and if it weren't for the new artist joining us at the end of development, we wouldn't be able to release the update until at least the end of the month.

We are far more organised than we were years ago, but it would be unrealistic to expect updates every month when we have to create an update plan, produce new writing, produce new art, design gameplay mechanics, implement new gameplay mechanics then test them, design new interfaces, implement new interfaces, design new events, implement events, on top of it there's also quality assurance, unit testing, bug fixing, patching and so on.

It's just like Bummenphist has mentioned, game development isn't something that can happen overnight, it requires either time or bigger budget so we can hire more people, and currently time is all we have.

I hope that sheds some light on the development of the game, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on our discord.

My girl Tonks is pretty close too. She reminds me of a combination of the movie Tonks, and this freaky goth chick I dated in college— much like Tonks, she was an unabashed pervert as well. … ah memories…

But yeah, I wasn’t a Harry Potter fan outside of this game, so I had to Google most of the characters to see who they were in the films. And most don’t look like their source material. I’m alright with it though. I don’t recall Emma Watson having hooters the size of her head, but I don’t hear anyone complaining about that. Accuracy isn’t a hill worth dying on in a game like this.

It seems Hermione sex scenes are broken again since the 1.41.1 patch and Luna got set back on her personal favors? Also when we going to have more fun things with the other girls?

I think this was talked a few pages ago but I really wish this project would be considered a game in F95. It's a matter of discoverability, people that use the Latest Updates page will never know about this awesome mod.
