Hi!

Hefty update today, first is a screenshoot of the first village of BE Witches. It's more a a collage of the assets at my disposal than a real screenshoot, but this is pretty much what the game will look like. I'd say this is a pretty vast improvement, compared to the old demo.

I've been working hard to implement everything I drew, and I'm currently about 90% done. Most of what is left are visual effects or have some dialogue tied to them,like NPCs or signs. Here is a list of what's new:

- 13 new Shapes

- 15 new spells

- 3 new relics

- more than 50 new items

- training mode

- Every decoration and interactable objects are implemented

- a LOT of other improvements and various fixes

So yeah, that's a lot. I expect to be done with everything graphics related by next time. I'll begin to work on the sound effects as soon right after that, which will probably take some time. Following that, it will be time for me to do some level design. I will then need to make double sure everything works as intended, add the last touches, and then... The demo will finally be released.

Ideally I'd love for the demo to be ready before a certain date (I'll tell you when exactly once I know I can make it) for personal reasons, which makes it a bit stressful for me.

I'll do my best!

Q :  Where do you get your inspiration for and/or how do you choose which monster girls you will put in the game? 

A :  It varies wildly actually,  sometime they just appear to me in a dream, other times I want to have something specific, like a pose or a personality trait, and design them around that,  and every now and then I have to put a lot of thoughts into it until I get a satisfying result, though the more I do it, the easier it gets. I try to make the designs look relatively simple yet original, and colorful. If I can do that, the monster girl is ready to be added in BE Witches :) I usually don't go back once I'm done with a design, but there are some exceptions : Rose is at her 2nd design iteration, and Vuu at her 3rd (the first one existed before I even planned to make BE Witches). I also plan to update T's design at some point, but I doubt I'll do it for any other monstergirl.

Hope you enjoyed the update, see you! :D
