Poll: Which is your favorite initial form in Witch's Minion?

I ask because, while there will be basic solutions available to every form, certain options--particularly those tied to a wardrobe requirement, and by extension requiring illustrations--will not be available in every possible body. I would like to ensure, however, that the most popular forms have at least a decent amount of content available beyond the basic path, or, more precisely, that the additional content I write will be distributed along the paths where the greatest number of players will be able to enjoy it.

(Note that the incomplete forms do not yet have illustrations and as such have been intentionally omitted. If one of these forms is nonetheless your favorite, feel free to say so in the comments.)

  1. Veronika has always been one of my favorite models. Right up there with Bianca Beauchamp and Denise Milani. Denise is still my hands down favorite...but hey, I love me some V.Z.!

  2. Ha, well, actually, you're in luck; Denise is featured--in a way. Not all of the models have actually posted the pictures I need, so I occasionally have to improvise. In this case, some of more exotic outfits for Jana (namely the police and superhero costumes) are actually photo-composites of Jana and Denise Milani.

    Like so:

  3. Just wanted to ask that will the game have hardcore sex images of these girl in the future?

  4. Probably not, I'm afraid. Apart from the considerable technical challenges--many of the models used in Witch's Minion are not 'hardcore' actresses, so such images would all need to be heavily doctored--it doesn't really fit with the tone or the illustration logic of the game. Generally speaking, Witch's Minion provides illustrations for places and people but the specifics of individual events--both racy and mundane--are left to textual descriptions and the player's imagination.

    I don't mean to dismiss the idea out-of-hand, though; I do seriously consider every suggestion I receive, and I've nothing at all against games that do include such images. It's just that, in this case, I don't think those images would be quite the right fit for Witch's Minion, either practically or stylistically.

    My apologies.

  5. Hey, no apology needed at all, I'm just asking cos most of the models in there are not porn starlets, and there will be tons of images editing to be done if you had included hardcore ones, which would definitely slow down the project.

    Erotic descriptions of the act would be enough for me, esp with the multiple choices system you got there in the game, it should be damn fun when you're in some sex act.

    Keep up the good work:)

  7. How do you get the different initial forms? I've only seen one of the brunette forms so far.

  8. To get the other forms, you need to explore the house before the Witch ambushes you. She will then tailor your transformation to fit what you've done before being caught.

  10. On topic: I'm a complete n00b to this format, but I have to ask - I don't suppose there would be a way to allow players to import, or create and submit, their own packages? What if, say, someone fancies playing a specific combination of hair colour and breast size, but doesn't fancy the actress representing that combination?
    Just a thought, it may well be more effort than it's worth. At the end of the day, the text and the player's imagination are all that really matters :)

    I'm pretty new to this kind of game myself, so this may not be the best solution, but I found that the WinGlulxe stand-alone player does the job. You can get the latest version at http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXprogrammingXglulxXinterpretersXglulxe.html (not the first file, check the dates).

  11. @ Demonralf: Bob has it! Any Glulx intepreter (including Glulxe, which he linked) should be able to open the game file.

    @ Bob:
    An interesting thought, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You mean submitting an alternate set of pictures for a given bust/hair combination? While I don't think it would be possible for the user to import a selection of pictures themselves (Inform requires you to specify and include in the source text all media that will be referenced in the game) I could certainly add alternate sets manually if anyone wanted to submit some.

    If there's any interest in this, I'll put up a blog post listing the the images that will be needed for a set to work.

  12. One question, How do you get the Asian forms? I'm guessing it has something to do with the chest..but I can;t figure out where the key is for it...And trying to break it open doesn;t work..any advice?

    ReplyDelete
  13. You're on the right track; try looking around the room with the chest. Of course, separating the key from its guardian may take some doing all its own...

    (It's worth noting that, as reflected in the poll options, two of the Asian forms are still unfinished in the posted build.)

  14. Where do I find outfits? I go the stripper job but can't start since I'm walking around naked. In the apartment, the note says I have 1 set of clothes but I can't seem to find it. Tried looking in the dresser and there doesn't seem to be a closet.

  15. Is this game still in development or have you abandoned the project? Looks very promising and I like the depth. Hope you decide to continue.

  16. The project is a hiatus(from what i read on tfgames), dunno wether scipio has abondened it though, and just a question how do you free Jacob? Never could figure it out

  17. I'm guessing you can climb the elevator shaft after you turn off the power, but I couldn't get the climbing gear from Dan. You can try sleeping with the guard (after you wear the clothes you get from the shop).

  18. So I guess this game is OFFICIALLY dead as there hasn't been word from the author in months. if this is wrong author please strike me down with righteous fury.
