The Pill 0.4.5 Release
Added 2020-06-22 23:33:59 +0000 UTCGreetings and salutations!
The wait is over and the new version of The Pill is here! This is a major update that adds in an entirely new chapter to the game - the milestone Patreon only update that was achieved when we hit 750 patrons... which... was a while ago now...
I just want to give a massive thanks to all the patrons past and present who helped to reach this goal. If you were a patron in the month we hit it (April) or later expect 1-2 messages with the release details. Apologies for the double up, I just want to make sure no one misses out.
Anyhoo, if you want to dive straight in the links are here:
PC Version | Mac Version | Android Version (VERY experimental & untested - I cannot guarantee this will work)
If you're interested in what's new, check out the patch notes:
The Pill 0.4.5 contains:
- New chapter "The Party"
- Over 100 new character poses/emotions
- 7 new endings
- 10 new animations (not including reverse time)
- New type of animation featuring a dynamic camera
- 7 new music tracks
- Tweaks & improvements to the UI
- Fixed some image poses on Trish's chapter
This one was a three-month-long labor of love and I hope you all enjoy it. It essentially took as long as the original v0.0.1 of the game and is about as big.
Now I'm off to hit up the rewards for this month! Next month I'll begin the process of refitting Belle's content into the new engine.

I did get the all endings to appear on my screen

2020-07-24 06:03:54 +0000 UTCIt's possible that you retain them but I'm not positive to be honest. Whenever I bug test it I start by wiping my achievement progress so I can test them (you can do this in the gallery menu) so it has never really come up for me. I can say though that if you have unlocked all the achievements then you will have experienced all the endings. They should only unlock once you've found them.

2020-07-24 01:28:23 +0000 UTCI might be able to the 9th Trish ending that way, maybe
AlfaTango97
2020-07-23 07:41:17 +0000 UTCWhen the new version is released and I download it, do I still have all my achievements unlocked from the previous version, if I keep it still on my pc?
AlfaTango97
2020-07-23 06:11:35 +0000 UTCIn one sitting

2020-07-23 06:06:06 +0000 UTCThis version I played all the way though.
AlfaTango97
2020-07-23 06:05:16 +0000 UTCHm that's strange. Is it possible that you restarted the game after finding one of the endings? Restarting it will set the ending counter back to zero while the achievement remains unlocked.
B.E. Grove
2020-07-23 00:30:45 +0000 UTCI've got all the achievements in this version, but Trish's endings say 8 out of 9. All the rest or not available in this version
AlfaTango97
2020-07-22 23:09:28 +0000 UTCAll of Trish's endings should be accessible in 0.4.5 - what's the name of the achievement you haven't got yet?
B.E. Grove
2020-07-22 22:12:20 +0000 UTCI've played and completed 0.4.5, but Trish still has one more ending, will this be added with the next version?

Olaughalot
2020-07-07 05:24:11 +0000 UTCI can't figure out the secret ending for the life of me
DawnofRoxas
2020-07-06 22:27:19 +0000 UTCThe missing Trish ending must have been a bug of some kind, because I went back through it on a new game and got them all. Still missing the illusive secret ending however.
2020-07-06 12:18:59 +0000 UTCShot you a msg ;)
B.E. Grove
2020-07-06 07:03:13 +0000 UTCAmazing work! Can I get a hint for the secret ending?
2020-07-04 15:45:27 +0000 UTCI'll shoot you a msg how. ;)
B.E. Grove
2020-07-03 07:16:42 +0000 UTCcant seem to find the the "good ending". tried all the dialogue options im pretty sure :/

B.E. Grove
2020-07-01 02:29:37 +0000 UTCI'll shoot you a msg revealing how.
B.E. Grove
2020-07-01 02:29:29 +0000 UTCIs the "good ending" the secret ending? There's just one I'm missing and I don't know how I'm supposed to get it. Pretty sure I've done everything else I can.
OneDaxSter
2020-06-30 16:03:13 +0000 UTCCan't get the secret ending. Pretty sure i've tried everything ':|

2020-06-30 14:07:56 +0000 UTCI'll shoot you a msg with how to get there ;)
B.E. Grove
2020-06-29 00:41:56 +0000 UTCMaybe its the boobs distracting me but I can't figure out the "secret ending." Any hints?
2020-06-26 14:46:51 +0000 UTCHope you enjoy it!
B.E. Grove
2020-06-26 09:42:27 +0000 UTCHey Daniel, really glad you're enjoying it! In truth I probably won't go down the pregnancy path beyond it being an instigator for regular BE and I'm likely not going to go furry purely because it's not well suited to the very "realistic" style of rendering I do (it works way better with a more cartoony element). Will definitely consider some belly expansion though. If I go down multiboob it'll be from the results of a poll I think, as it's not expansion in the traditional sense. I'll shoot you a msg with how to get to the secret ending.
B.E. Grove
2020-06-26 07:44:49 +0000 UTCHey man, so sorry about that! I've gone in and fixed it now, so when the next update or hotfix is released it'll be correct.
B.E. Grove
2020-06-26 07:26:01 +0000 UTCJust a heads up my surname in the credits is spelt wrong the credits say Max Hancock but my surname is spelt Hancox (don't worry happens to me all the time) just thought I'd let you know.
Max Hancox
2020-06-26 06:31:24 +0000 UTCi am simply in LOVE with this newest update. Was very much surprised with your Wonka ending, and it got me thinking. Maybe for future updates you can try some belly/pregnancy expansion, or many some furry transformation, or even a multi-breast option. You've done such a fantastic job with your work and perhaps it time to get some wild stuff happening lol. Also, i was able to get all the endings but no matter what i do i cant seem to get to the happy ending again, to be honest i was kinda button mashing and accidentally skipped over some game speech that i would liked to actually read. maybe you could me out a tad bit?

2020-06-25 10:04:48 +0000 UTCim here no worries im going to try it thank you so much.

2020-06-25 03:19:36 +0000 UTCGlad you enjoyed it - I'll add your vote to my mental helium tally ;)
B.E. Grove
2020-06-25 02:20:06 +0000 UTCGlad to hear it's working at all to be honest. I'll try to sort out the landscape v portrait in a future update, but the videos are trickier. They worked on my phone but given the wide variety of mobiles I can see them not working for everyone.
B.E. Grove
2020-06-25 02:19:00 +0000 UTCAwesome to hear! I tried it out briefly but gave it far less attention than the PC version.

2020-06-25 02:15:27 +0000 UTCHeads up y'all the android version works great ๐

2020-06-24 16:02:22 +0000 UTCDamn, I just reached the end where Trish shrinks first and then swallows a pill. How I would have loved to see an animation of what happened afterwards :O
GKMoritz
2020-06-24 15:27:25 +0000 UTCIt's turns out so fkn good man, you hit the right point! But i would be nice if the animations would be a little bit slower, besides that the new chapter is perfect :D
GKMoritz
2020-06-24 14:47:37 +0000 UTCAmazing work! I really enjoyed everything you've put into this release! in particular the shrinking + BE, I was not expecting that but I was happily surprised! Really well done, keep up the good work! (Oh and count me in as one of the people hoping for a helium addition in the future :) )
Ben
2020-06-24 12:07:54 +0000 UTCLoving "the party" so far, with the android version the only problems ive encountered so far have been, the screen not being locked to landscape or potrait so it often streches the resolution (could just be my device), and animations wont play during gameplay, they do however work in the gallery (agian could be my device), but im exetremely impressed with the final product and I thank you for your work.

2020-06-24 08:43:40 +0000 UTCHa, never mind! =D
2020-06-24 08:22:40 +0000 UTCFantastic work as always! Definitely been looking forward to this release. =) I hate to be that guy, but any tiny hints for the 'good' ending? =D
2020-06-24 07:51:56 +0000 UTCThanks Makatoshi. The shrinking I know isn't for everyone, but glad you liked it. It is true, I know that there are some elements that each person missed out on, (which I'm actually looking to rectify a bit with a Sweater Stretcher reward this month). The blueberry one has been a bit polarizing, which is why I didn't invest multiple story arc to it as it's a niche subset. Plenty of other stuff there though! Personally for me, if it has BE in it, be it standard, shrinking, giantess, stealing or whatever then I'm down.
B.E. Grove
2020-06-24 06:35:23 +0000 UTCThanks TMK, glad you enjoyed it, and noticed the little hint with helium which I know a couple of you guys are hanging out for ;)
B.E. Grove
2020-06-24 06:29:55 +0000 UTCThanks for letting me know - I'll do a double check of the code. For some reason, those colorless text instances only happen on occasion, not consistently so it's hard to nab in playtesting. Glad you enjoyed it though!
B.E. Grove
2020-06-24 06:26:44 +0000 UTCMany thanks DragoonGTS ;)
B.E. Grove
2020-06-24 06:25:04 +0000 UTCHappy belated birthday then! Hope you keep enjoying it.
B.E. Grove
2020-06-24 06:11:00 +0000 UTCIt has definitely come a long way. I really felt it going back and play testing Trish's arc that this just feels so much better & dynamic. And thanks!
B.E. Grove
2020-06-24 06:10:30 +0000 UTCCheers, thanks Joey :)
B.E. Grove
2020-06-24 06:07:30 +0000 UTCPretty good stuff here in this update. Even a well done shrinking animation (shrinking is not my thing, why go small when you can be big?) that surprised me. The only things I wished were a more noticeable ass expansion (they way Belle stands facing you after it happens just doesn't do much for me) but I'm a more extreme sizes guy. The height Trish gets is great and those tall pictures are phenomenal (even though you never see a height animation for Belle). Really the only thing I disliked was the blueberry inflation but that stems from my disdain of that fetish, I just don't like it. If it was weight gain (especially massive/extreme weight gain) I would be all over it but maybe for another day. Still good work on the update + new chapter.

2020-06-24 03:41:10 +0000 UTCDear lord mannn!!!!! This is a MASTERPIECE! There's no other way to put it. A complete masterpiece! I loved it all! The animations were epic. The writing was flawless and hilarious. The endings were amazing! Particularly liked the tiny Trish ending with her managing to wrap her lips around that pill! And the teaser for helium pills to one day appear was icing on the cake! The foray into some Wonka inspired goodness was a welcome sight as well! Totally awesome job man!

2020-06-23 20:56:46 +0000 UTCJust finished the party chapter and it was awesome. I did find a few bugs and wanted to let you know. Never got a popup for the played us ending. Some speaches werent colored but had the code (color1233....). And a few animations for me were clunky (belle turning around was a jump twist the first time through). Really loved this update and im looking forward to what is next. Cant wait for belle on the new engine and hope we see more pill options for each character (i know that's hard to code so no rush) . Or more transformations like in belles Chapter with the wizard.

2020-06-23 13:40:13 +0000 UTCI'm really enjoying this so far! You know, it was my Birthday yesterday so this makes a nice late Birthday gift! Thanks! It's great to see Titty Trish and Busty Belle expanding again! Keep up the great work! ๐
DL-PL-TS
2020-06-23 10:22:47 +0000 UTCI'm speechless. Comparing with the first version of "The Pill", this is getting better and better. The animations are beautiful, the narrative is great, and the interactive storytelling works wonders. Congrats, and keep up the good work!

2020-06-23 04:11:06 +0000 UTCThat's awesome. I was really feeling it as I was writing that Trish works well when she can be 'the villain'.

2020-06-23 00:40:32 +0000 UTCFantastic work! Going through the party chapter now and Trish seems more likable now (didn't like her before) so that's a plus!
