Announcement - New Designs, Upcoming Updates, and Future Plans!

Salutations, everyone!

With the Tonks update now released and the majority of bugs squashed, today's announcement post will focus on upcoming content. We've got quite a few exciting things to cover, including the focus of the next update, so get your wands at the ready! First things first:

Astoria & Susan

As many of you know, Astoria and Susan have been neglected for quite some time. This is partly due to how their content is currently presented, but also because their character designs haven't quite lived up to the standard set by the rest of the cast.

While we've been hard at work on the Tonks update (and the one after that), Nix has been cooking up fresh new designs for both girls. These redesigns will finally allow us to give them the content they deserve.

So without further ado, here are the new safe-for-work designs for Susan and Astoria.

We hope you enjoy the new designs as much as we do! All previously available outfits have been redrawn for the new models. Additional artwork for both characters will be shared on our other platforms, so keep an eye out.

As mentioned earlier, we'll be focusing on personal content for both Susan and Astoria, which is quite an undertaking. To start, the spotlight will be on Susan. As a girl with a rather heavy build, Susan's storyline will explore Genie helping her deal with bullying and shifting her perception of her body. Of course, there will be plenty of twists, turns, and discoveries along the way.

Astoria will be fully introduced a bit later, and her content will reflect the traits you'd expect from her, a girl who's not afraid to speak her mind to the headmaster. But, as you'll discover, what she says and how she feels are often not the same.

Looking Ahead: Project Goals

Before we dive into details about the next update, we'd like to share a bit about our future goals for the project.

As many of you have seen, we've now introduced personal content for Tonks, and we will be doing the same for Susan and Astoria in the future. We're also putting effort into adding new artwork to existing content throughout the game.

Our short-term goal is to continue as we are now, using funds carefully to commission new artwork from Nix. That said, we've also been discussing what might be possible if he could dedicate himself to the project full time.

With Nix on board full time, we could improve and bring more visual consistency to the entire game. This includes new additions for CGs, locations, chibis, and more.

Endgame Content: The possibilities

Our main focus right now is finishing the personal content for each of the main girls. That's our top priority, and it's where the bulk of our development efforts are currently going.

That said, if we receive enough support and resources to go beyond that, we'd love to expand the game with endgame content for players who have completed all the girls' personal storylines.

As an example, we think it'd be nice if Tonks could offer up her bedroom for some group fun, once she's satisfied with your progress with the girls. Johnny has also shared his personal wish to include an epilogue, similar to Hermione's Ball ending, that would feature all the girls you've successfully courted. (Imagine a points ceremony, which includes lewdness befitting of each character.) Much like other sandbox games with an epilogue, you would be able to return to just before the ending, allowing you to keep exploring and revisiting content without losing progress.

If this kind of content interests you, consider supporting us. With enough backing, we could bring Nix on full time instead of part-time, which would make expanded content like this far more feasible.

As a small thank-you for your continued support, here's a preview of one of the CG backgrounds that will be updated in the upcoming release:

Upcoming Update: Luna

Now, onto the focus of the upcoming update. This next release will centre around Luna's personal favours, as she continues to deal with wrackspurts.

If you've played through her story so far, you can probably guess where it's headed. In addition, this update will also include:

- An additional tier of Personal favours for Luna
- Multiple new writing variants for when you return Luna's underwear.
- Additional artwork for Luna's self-pleasure events
- Additional artwork for Hermione's favours
- Luna-specific dialogue for Tonks' new favours
- Dialogues for each item in the Weasley shop
- New outfits and other additions
- Updated CG background for introductory and self-pleasure events
- And more...

Early development builds for this update will be sent out to Gold-tier Patrons and above, along with a new asset pack that includes the most recently released outfits. If you'd like to have a say in which outfits we add next, we also run a monthly poll for Platinum-tier Patrons on our Discord server.

That's All for Now!

That concludes today's announcement.

Wands down, everybody... I said wands down. You can't get it down? Okay then... I'm just going to get back to work. I'll see you in the next post, alright? Alright!
