Why use German rail? Were you bahnned from the Autobahn?

I usually got my Knowledge stat to around 80 at its lowest when the trial came, it made every accompyning door which needed that stat simple

Animal form can be one of the items you get by buying the 'books from america' from the store. I got it up to some high level after practising with spellpower and intelligence in my free time, which, for some of the options, gave the option to use it

"nerd girl" Is that what you call Violet, you barbarian?

When it comes to meeting the cast, you have to do the extracurricular things - studying, mingling, training, etc. You aren't guaranteed to meet a girl and get her respective event through it every time, but if you do it enough, like for studying, you'll meet Elisabeth and Violet, and go through their respective event lines. While when it comes to the trial, what were you doing? Trying to brute force? For stats like spellpower iirc, you could use animal form to skip a part, while if you want to at least meet two of the girls and pass, just max out knowledge, if you read the options, and can deduce which one accompany's the knowledge stat, you'll be able to breeze through it as first place and the exams.

I feel stupid, I misread: "New artwork for Violet's fifth event" as Violet's next event being added. I made a new save, played until I reached the end, continuously Studying trying to get it. No regrets however, super fun.

I rate this game as being over 9000!

Jesus fucking Christ man, heard of a joke?

What is the creature depicted on your profile, Shady Characters? I, at first, assumed it was a cat, but with further investigation, I see no paw, ear, and instead, an odd-shapped figure.

Wassup fellow degenerates; I have a question for y'all:
If you have a favourite girl, who? If so, why?

If I had to imagine, wouldn't it give some player choice, and ensure some randomness where so that the player is trying to find one of the girls, like with the other event (I forgot the name of it, but the one where you specifically go to find one of them, which you've made progress with, or just with Eric), as I'd imagine a lot of players have at least one of the girls in their main focus, and would like to at the very least choose one of them to meet (Like with Violet), with the second being the 2nd highest one in terms of progress made? idk, that makes most sense to me

Also -"

So after some consideration, and weighing a couple of other options I ended up adding another value in the game that would reflect a girl's willingness to visit you before the Trial and choose the visitor based on that."

iirc, you mentioned before in another devlog that each of the girls will have a house that they'd refuse to date the player if they're part of it, (iirc, you used Violet as an example), if the player is from one of the opposition houses/house they dislike, would that play into the the value and effect it?

I'm uncertain on the exact amount, I generally got around 80s when the trial started

You might be able to get a high enough intellect stat if you do the subject for it, or study every day, or every second day for when it stops. I myself always rotate the classes and don't do the double-stat ones, while slow, it ensures that my other stats are improving. Yet for when the exam and first trial ends, you can, even if you just went full-study, begin doing every other stat for the time between it and the second trial, which should be enough time to ensure you meet some more of the cast, and get it high enough

Generally, one of your stats must be high, tho' Shady has said, iirc, that you can pass if they aren't that low. Generally, I myself just go for intelligence and max that out + getting animal transformation, where it makes Exams and the first trial easy. I've just focused on intellect - which just made it a need to just pick the correct option for Intellect, which pretty much found no failure

From what I understand, the different activites in your free time, studying training, etc lead to different interactions with the girls. Studying is for Violet and Elisabeth. I'm not sure what the others are for. From what I understand, the classes are mainly for your skills, to give lore about the game, and to give some events for you to react with

Same (Not for this one however.) it's always funny when that happens.

So is Professor your first name, or your surname?

I have a question for Shady 2:
How hard is it for them to draw the characters, and all their different poses? (especially parts like hands, feet and clothings)

Violet is going to make me look violet.

This was very interesting to read, I never thought of such issues

You have 2 kidneys, you can live with only 1.

"I know I skipped last week's devblog, but I only had time to either make a game build or sit down for a devblog."

Are devblogsa time-consuming process to write out? What's the process you do for them?

Yep

Going through the intro again, it was just very funny for me to see the unfinished intro. for Elisabeth was funny

Hey, Shady Characters - Itch.io has released a statement regarding NSFW games (https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content) and the changes that will come forth with it. How may this affect Under Your Spell? Any foreseeable idea on what problems it may make?

If we look at every time the main character's penis is visually depicted and cross reference it with objects to try to measure how long it is, do y'all think its size, as depicted by the graphics, is consistent?

All Hallows Eve goes brrrrr

I think I first downloaded the build around Dec. or Jan., even comparing the progress from then onwards is really exciting.

While writing for the events for the girls', how are you 'certain' if its right. When Under Your Spell is fully finished, would you revamp previous events- or just dialogue, to fit how you've reimagined their personalities?

They could always skip book-day and attend leg-day.

I love the artwork. Shady 2 is doing amazing! Did they take up drawing as a hobby? Or professionally learn?

Really excited to see how development goes.

Still trying to figure out Divination. Might as well light some candles irl and hope the wax shows me the answer.

Violet's cute.

Hearing how the coding aspect of it is really interesting, especially with the explanations of how it works and the absolute problem with making so many sprites

I'm finding the renditions done in the Sims, and the aim for it very interesting. I think until all the sprites are done, that text based descriptions may serve until it is filled. (Tho' continunity and any changes made to the layout may be confusing to some

News of the game's development? Best birthday gift a man can ask for

So is there a possibility the player would be able to not advance into any of the girls' questline and/or piss them off in any sort that they'd refuse to express their feelings?
I'm just wondering this, as due to the Samhain event, hanging out with Eric is the default option by the looks of it, with the other girls' whom you've progressed in their questlines. This had me thinking, as from what I understand, if a person just rested, they'd be able to completely avoid, or attempt to, advancing into any of their questlines. If one kept this up, what would happen in the end?

I myself find doing Magic Theory every day as being the best for getting knowledge. Usually gives 1 every time. While you can make up for your other stats if you focus on studying with other classes. I myself don't suggest dueling practise or the other classes which give multiple points, as them giving you some aren't guaranteed. I found grinding knowledge makes the exam a breeze and the trial of mind too (especially if animal form is bought), where other stats can be focused on at the expense of knowledge. But that's just how I went with it

I've learnt animal form, but the text is showing up saying teleportation instead of animal form. I'm pretty sure I brought this up before, and it was patched, but the bug might've resurfaced with this update.

"-Samhain festival is now completed for every girl."

Does this mean their reactions to the player's progress is now fully implemented for the first event?

For the past 3 months or so, checking every Saturday/Friday has basically become routine. I'm really excited to see what's in store!

YAHOO!

But man, Violet looks so sickly in the image, compared to her other depictions, probably just due to the colours and how they blend

"redhead or that she was Scottish"
Did not know they are mutually exclusive

Just look at that face on the bottom-middle, the art is so good.

Violet is the best girl, and I'll stand by that fact 'till the end
