Rework Progress Notes #3 (Patreon)

Hi guys!💛It's been a little while since my last post and honestly that's mostly because I underestimated the whole "putting everything into the game and polishing it" part quite a bit... and wanted the next post to be about the playtesting and release date. Anyway!

What have changed?

Besides around 70% of the existing dialogue being rewritten already, (which was probably the biggest and most challenging part):

Extended the prologue and added a short tutorial phase, so it actually makes sense why you have the map and guide scroll.

Added a lot of game-logic fixes, like preventing quests from starting if they require something you don't have yet, such as a wand or a mirror.

Added several UI-related fixes and new elements:

New Item Received notification

Item Removed notification

You've Got New Mail notification

Journal Updated notification

Added the achievement popup with fade in/out animations

The map now opens on the actual area you're currently in, so Hogsmeade or Hogwarts, depending on your location (I think some of you guys mentioned this)

Added icons for the Owl Shop items and other quest objects

Added avatars for the message system

Added Dumbledore's and ???'s nameboxes

Improved the presplash screen quality

(And probably quite some other things I don't even remember yet)

New Background Animations:

(New!) Astronomy Tower

(WIP!) Main Menu ambient anim with Lily, Bella and Cissy

New NSFW Animations:

(New!) Stone Lily Blowjob

(WIP!) Stone Lily Rough Blowjob

Lily (21/21):

Her storyline for the rework is finished art-wise! 🧡 There are still some writing improvements needed but thankfully only for her last few quests now. Here are some screens from her storyline:

Narcissa (10/11):

I didn't really plan to touch her story as much as I did, but… well, I did. ^^

She got a new courtyard quest, a short series of talks with other characters about her, and a new teasing NSFW quest.

Bellatrix (8/12):

She's the one furthest behind right now, but once the remaining game-related things are fixed I'll wrap her up quickly.

Some of her stuff had to be adjusted because of game flow issues, like MC casting Alohomora in Bella's Q4 before he has even learned it. Also, since I've updated the Astronomy Classroom location (and even the portrait woman there), her telescope quest showed the old location, it was just weird, so re-rendered those shots. Little things like that made the rework a bit more complicated than I expected.

Oh and also re-made the sigil caused 4 renders to make them look better!💛Two of them:

Spell Training with Minerva:

There will be short scenes for every level of a given spell, up to level 10 - gradually progressing toward NSFW. In this update, Minerva will already be able to teach you 4 levels.

There's a very good chance I missed some things here, and I'm so sorry about that! My brain has been jumping between writing, renders, UI, logic fixes and deciding where to sunbathe on the weekend...😇

After this rework is done and the basics are finally in a much better place, adding new content should be so much more straightforward which I honestly can't wait. Like, literally.

I can't wait to stop wrestling with old quests and just make new scenes, new quests, new girls, and all the fun stuff again!💛

Thank you so much for reading and supporting the game. It really means a lot <3
