BE Witches - demo V4!
Added 2023-12-01 16:51:37 +0000 UTCA lot of improvements and bug fixes have been implemented!
I'll have a full list of the changes in a few minutes in the next devlog ^^
If the download freezes, try refreshing the page! If that still doesn't work, tell me about it. If I get enough reports of the download not working, I'll look into uploading the game in multiple smaller parts.
You should be able to transfer your save from the previous version, but you'll have to do it manually:
- Start the new version, calibrate the mouse, then close it.
- Go to AppData\Local
- Open BE_Witches___2023_xx_xx(the previous version) and copy your save file
- Open BE_Witches___2023_12_01 (the new version) and paste your save file
A few changes won't transfer over however! In particular, a star radar has been added in the vending machine. You won't be able to obtain it if you've already bought everything in the vending machine in your transferred save!

"You don't need every single power orb to reach rank 5" Oh that's a relief. are you playing on a save created in this same build, or on a save transferred from a previous build? The Auria Tower bug was on a transferred save. The Forest and Tunnels are on a fresh, up-to-date file. "Are these paths still locked for you in areas other than the Auria tower?" I'll get back to you about confirming that.

2023-12-19 02:42:58 +0000 UTCThank you! This is one of the few main bugs that still plague the game, I've had several reports of these and will look into it asap. Leaving the floor/area and coming back should fix this issue in most cases, but I got a report just a few days ago about this exact Auria tower room being permanently locked. Are these paths still locked for you in areas other than the Auria tower? And just to make sure, are you playing on a save created in this same build, or on a save transferred from a previous build? You don't need every single power orb to reach rank 5, but I'm sorry you got locked out of this one... I'll do my best to have this fixed in the next build. Happy holidays to you too!

2023-12-17 01:27:48 +0000 UTCI'm sorry about that. As I very recently figured out, there is a certain GameMaker bug that affect most people and causes their game to run at 45 FPS at most. I was affected by this bug during develoment and didn't realize, so a lot of the game including the Angel fight has been balanced for 45 FPS. In all likeliness, you aren't affected by this bug and your game runs at 60 FPS, but this causes everything to move faster and be much more difficult than what was planned. This will be fully fixed in the next build on January 1st! Again, sorry about this, this bug has caused many people pointless frustration and I wish I'd have caught it sooner...

2023-12-16 23:03:16 +0000 UTCMay I ask if there's ever going to be a difficulty slider? Since I've been in the Ancient Pyramid trying to beat the angels for 4 times already and I literally am uncapable of following all the stuff happening with a bullet hell. I would have thought that the first one would have been easier but I'm just stuck here and I can't even save the last hour of game time.

2023-12-16 23:00:06 +0000 UTCHey Nosebecc. I'm on my second playthrough now that the walkthrough eases up on the hours required to find everything. There has been one recurring bug you may wish to know about. Certain divides between two adjacent squares that start locked and need unlocking, once unlocked, are one-way affairs. I.E. from one side, you can walk through the divide, but once through, you can't go back because I think the game still treats that lock as active. I've found an instance of it in the Auria Tower, the Forest, and the Biscotti Tunnels. The Auria Tower one prevents the access to a power orb :-( . Happy holidays.
