Just played through this for the first time and I must say that the narrative has me kind of confused. One of the in-game notes mentions that what we are currently playing will later be called the “blackmail route” and that they will also develop a “love route” in the future. At the point the story ends now though it feels like it’s leaning heavily towards some sort of “redemption arc” for the main character and all female characters seem to be going in a more, well “love route” direction rather than one of manipulation/corruption.

That’s not necessarily a bad narrative to portray but it feels like the tone shift happens way too late in the game and leaves me feeling much less satisfied playing through the latest content.

I had the same impression.

I'm not playing this game to be nice, and it would make more sense to me that her friend helping coach her to serve you would make her more submissive and willing to just roll with it. There could even be potential in making her voluntarily surrender under those circumstances and embrace being a slave girl.

Which isn't out of place. You know. In a game about raping girls.

Instead, sike.

Yeah I too was wondering if we get to choose whether a love or corruption path for elyon. But instead we have to be nice and honest with her to avoid a gameover thus forcing the player to "choose" the love path. But i'm hoping they don't mess this up since elyon seems to be the most popular in this game.

Latest development news
1738172458820.jpeg
Hello everybody!

And so, this time we were a little late with the news post. There were several issues related to the development, which we are currently solving in a hurry.
More specifically, we decided to slightly rework the current approach to the gameplay component. The gameplay part itself will remain in place, but we will remove some of the variation. Yes, it may sound like we are depriving you of something in the gameplay, but in reality everything is completely different.
The fact is that during the test run of the entire gameplay, we discovered a problem: due to the large number of different scenario options, the player risks missing most of the content if the first game segment is poorly completed. Initially, this freedom was supposed to add immersiveness to the gameplay, allowing the player to feel like a kind of manager who independently determines the outcome of the content. But in the end, we realized that it would be more annoying than enjoyable.
Therefore, we decided to make the gaming segment less critical of the player and his decisions. Now, even in the worst case scenario, you can get 60% of all the necessary scenes. This does not mean that the remaining 40% will be difficult for you, not at all. On the contrary, it's now even easier to get all the scenes than it was before.
But because of this, we are now making changes to the gameplay structure and script so that all the plot trails look solid, not torn. We also decided to add a few more scenes due to changes in the script, some of which have already passed the stage of the liner notes. These scenes will illustrate the part of the content that we originally wanted to play only with text and sprites, and will also expand the ending of the game. Anyway, these are just a few new scenes and we'll finish working on them by the end of this week.
Otherwise, the development continues without any major changes. We are testing builds of game mechanics and gradually putting the whole game together, albeit with some changes in the process. Next week, we will be fully compiling a build of the entire game on the engine.

I think that's all the news for today. You can share in the comments what you think about this kind of change. Thank you for your support from our entire team and have a nice day!

For real first we were Phobos' bitch now we're Elyon's bitch, seem like Rick was just created to be a pawn always under someone's thumb. Elyon corruption path was bs a big waste of time

Final work on the scenes, gameplay test and further development.
1738837638400.jpeg
Greetings to all!

Well, this week, as expected, we finished developing all the remaining additional scenes that arose during the adaptation of the script and revision of gameplay solutions. By and large, the game content itself is all ready and we just have to put it together, which is what we are doing now.
At this stage, we correlate all the scenes with the existing backgrounds, and also create a lot (a lot) of character emotions for each scene and new character sprites.
The gameplay and mini-games are still in the testing and refinement phase in terms of balance. But I think we'll finish this part soon and move on to the next one, an interactive but unrelated mini-game.
Right now, while one part of the team is working on refining emotions and scene variations, the other part of the team is engaged in testing, as well as preparing content for the next update. In particular, work on the script for version 0.25 has already begun, as we still hope to catch up with the previous pace of development and release updates faster!
Most likely this week we will finish creating all the variations of emotions and scenes. After that, next week, you will need to directly insert all these elements, namely scenes, sprites, variations of emotions, dialogues and gameplay, into the game itself, putting together a working build. It will still take us about a week and a half at best.
We also don't forget about animations. Work on them is already underway and soon we will receive the bulk of the animations for version 0.24, after which we will move on to animating old game scenes.

In general, work is underway, everyone is now immersed in the process and busy with something, which is partly why the schedule of weekly updates has moved down for several days. As always, we will keep you updated on all changes and how close we are to the release of update 0.24. Thank you all for your support and have a nice day!

This is supposedly from the same creator as this. Is it from a game? Or just a standalone piece?

It is from witch hunter, this game, there's an arc when you are searching for some files i think and you go to the police station, and he is banging her, imagining is barbara, it came out in one of the latest updates, 19 or 20?

Beta test, animations and Kurt and Lauren without clothes
1739561447038.jpeg

Hello everybody!

And so, we have some news for you. Let's start with the mini-games, namely the active beta test stage. Unfortunately, several beta testers, whom we counted on when creating past updates, can no longer help us. That's why we're now recruiting friends who might appreciate the gameplay, but have never been involved in development before. Watching their reactions is sometimes very funny.
For those who don't quite understand why we're doing this kind of testing, let me explain that we can't independently assess how balanced some gameplay solutions are. Since we are the creators of the gameplay ourselves, by the time its beta version is ready, we unwittingly become professionals in this mini-game. This prevents us from sensibly assessing how an unprepared player would evaluate such a game. I think you'll understand what I'm talking about when you play it yourself a couple of times.
Otherwise, we want to make you happy that the mini-game will not be as ruthless as it sometimes turns out to be. As some have already noticed, sometimes we are inspired by the mechanics of old flash games, partly paying tribute to the founders of the industry, and partly adapting similar game segments to the game's setting. After all, the series W.I.T.C.H. was released in 2004 and the game tries to match the spirit of that time. Initially, we thought that the game segments should also have some kind of "code from that time." But now we are moving away from this approach and making mini-games more friendly to the player. One way or another, we will soon finish developing all the game segments.
One of the funnier things we found... Have you noticed that Kurt and Laurent (the guys from Uriah's gang) have never actually had sprites with clothes? Yes, they're in the bookstore when they steal books, but they've never had clothes in the dialogue sprites. There are only their sprites from the beach, where they are wearing only swimming trunks. Well, if you haven't noticed this, then you're not the only one, because we also realized this just this week. Just at the moment when we needed their sprites in clothes. Therefore, now we urgently draw their sprites, as well as several other character sprites necessary for the harmony of the scenes in the game.
Also, we've already finished working on all the animations! The dialogues are also half inserted into the game engine, as are some of the scenes. In general, the work is going at a pretty good pace! Although we have paid too much attention to the gameplay part this time, otherwise we are already close to putting all the main elements of update 0.24 together.

Perhaps that's all for today! I think next week I will share a few updates from my personal life, because quite a lot has happened during this time and I would like to keep you informed. But more on that next time, but in the meantime, have a good week!
