The Arrogant Witch (Patreon)

As you can see in the 1st image above, the witch will have a signature move where she entices any potential prey by attracting them with her voluptuous features. Anyone foolish enough to get closer in order to indulge in some "boing-boing" (insert puffing sounds here or other onomatopoeia) will certainly feel really good just before being trapped by the nefarious woman.

It has been difficult to not go overboard with her skills in battle and thus making it way unfair, and currently I'm coming up and testing unique behaviors and patterns for her attacks against Maya. Then again, she will be one of the last boss battles in the game (in terms of gameplay progression) so she should be challenging. The idea is for her to have different casting animations for different sets of attacks, so that players can know what to expect and be prepared to dodge them.

When it comes to story and theme she fits in perfectly with the rough draft of what I want to do, and I can't wait to conclude this early alpha development in order to start fleshing out the story elements of the game. For now, suffice to say that she will be Haruna's mentor (the shop girl) and will play a major role in the plot.

As a matter of fact, there is another major character, or more specifically antagonist, that is yet to come and will be more or less the main the main villainess of the game. The idea is for her to be the type of antagonist that encounters and fights against the player through the whole game from the start, like rivals. She will be a succubus/demon type of character with the classic horns, wings and tail. Speaking of the tail, well you know me by this point... it will be put to good use against Maya.

But all of that is still reserved for a bit later of course, as currently I have to finish laying down all of the basic stages and enemies, which includes the witch boss and enemies coming in the next update. One of those enemies is the sailor as I mentioned in the previous post and you can see a glimpse from him above; he's the burly type of male character akin to the dungeon brute.

Overall progress on the next update has being moving along nicely these past 30 days or so but there still a heap of work to do that will take another month to complete, so please look forward to it being released by the end of next month.

Best Regards!
