Dragon girl redesign + Devlog #115 + Monstergirl poll #42 is on!

Finally, Dragon girl has been redesign! She looks at LEAST 500% better now ^^
She was drawn by LumpPaca who once again did an incredible job. It's just so much better than the old sprite, in every way!
There have been some slight design changes: Her clothes have been removed and replaced with scale like clothes (which are technically part of her body), the wings are a bit different near their base and make more sense, she now has a tuft of hair on her chest and on her heels (that one was Paca's idea!), there are some colorful scales on her hair and the gem colors have been improved.
Of course, the pose is also wildly different! It's a lot cooler, more dynamic, sexy, and has a lot of personality. It's perfect for her! ^^
As you might have noticed, she also has an ice breath which she can detonate by snapping her fingers. Cool stuff ^^
So yeah! It was a lot of work, but Paca thoroughly nailed it. I hope you'll enjoy her new design! ^^

Here are all the monstergirl ranks (BOOBS!!!):

Rank 1

Rank 2

Rank 3

Rank 4

Rank 5

I actually don't have a whole I can share this month, the reason being that other than the few fixes I worked on at the start of the month for the most recent build, the entirety of September was dedicated to creating new assets (or lists and ref sheets for new assets)!

The first half of the month was spent on new SFX. I made a massive list of every single required SFX then got to work! At the same time, I prepared various ref sheets for some of the most important/complex SFX and sent that over to AM4N (who composed several of the game's track).

I did encounter some internet issues right after that and got sick on top which slowed me down a bit.
After recovering, I managed to draw a bunch of new assets. You might remember that the Voleia's festival sequence is currently unfinished and missing minigames, and that the Biscotti restaurant is closed. Every exploration asset required for both of these is now ready!

I'm now drawing a few more NPC chibis. NPC variety in Biscotti is especially low, and I also need an actual alchemist NPC if I want to move Cookie into the restaurant!
Speaking of chibis, I also contacted someone to help me with a new process I had in mind to increase the chibi sprites' production speed. I sadly might not have chibi rank sprites ready in time for the public release, but this will be my priority as soon as this process is in place. And if all goes well, I might even have some extra good chibi news later!

For now, finishing up the SFX, adding the last important bits of content and doing as much cleanup as possible is my focus!

I'm actually not too sure whether posting one more build before the public demo would be worth it at this point... There's a good chance I'll reserve the newest additions for the public demo. We'll see! I'll follow up on that in the next devlog.

Additionally, this month's Monstergirl poll (#42) will be the last one BEFORE the public demo!
NPC polls will take place in November, and Alt costume polls will take place in December. The next Monstergirl poll (#43) will take place in January, and we'll continue from there!

And now, the Monstergirl poll stuff!

The next monstergirl poll has begun! You can now vote for the monstergirl you want to be included in BE Witches in the Discord server if you are a 2$+ patron!

The poll will be active until the 12th of this month. After this, you will be able to change your submitted modifier until the 15th. Finally, the two rounds of the modifier poll will take one week each afterwards.

Poll submissions

Also, now is a good time to submit a monstergirl and/or modifiers if you haven't already as a patron! If you can't think of anything to submit, here is a list of ideas you can choose from. You'll need to join the server to submit anything!

And that's all for now. A lot of good progress! I'm getting closer and closer to the public demo ^^
See you! :B
