April 2026 News Summary

April News Summary
Its already May, so of course we have another monthly news summary ready for you!

Artwork/Animations
- Yamkha have finished all our characters for 0.1 with facial expressions, arm variants and clothing. To that extend as already mentioned we tweaked all our antagonist manhoods to better match for future animations... a few of them was simply to large!
Yamkha have also started to work on another background, The Grand Staircase which will be a main place to traverse the castle, and will interconnect a lot of different locations in the future.
- Noirs.H have finished a prop, more precisely a crystal which will be a very important object in version 0.1 - Besides that he have started to work on another prop for a quest involving a key!
- Sadtowel have finished yet another prop, an owl delivering a letter from the ministry of magic. And have started to work on a homework scroll prop which you will see very early in the game.

- A lot of the above have already been showcased to patreons and also some of it publicly, both on discord preview channel and also our twitter -> https://x.com/CheatingWitches
- Our coder and game developer Mike have also showed a little bit extra on his own patreon page, go have a look for a few small extra teasers and info into our game -> https://www.patreon.com/posts/cheating-witches-156860682

Development / Coding
- Mike continues to add in all art-pieces as they get completed, like all the busts, all the props and other elements!
- Story work and scenes on 0.2 continues to be developed.
- For 0.2 we might split it up into parts so we can deliver satisfactory content updates without using a whole year between updates!

Game testing
- Noting worth mentioning this month.

Music / Sounds
- No news.
General Info / Story
- As mentioned above, 0.2 continues to be worked on since story for 0.1 is long completed.

Release Window
- This month we had a crunch mode running, which sadly not mounted to much extra deliveries in the art department.
Which also means I'm leaning more towards Q3 for a release then Q2, we still are missing a few backgrounds, plus our backbusts, and the main H scenes.
- So to sum it up, Q3 is the expected release right now from my viewpoint.

Planned for May
- Yamkha, continued work on the background, after that it could be the backbust, we will see.
- Noirs.H, working on his current prop, and preferable more props or adding characters to backgrounds... like last month!
- Sadtowel, working on the homework scroll, if time allows it another prop after!
- Mike, continued working on 0.2 story and dialogues. Also still tuning 0.1 scenes and events.
- UI elements soon!
- Testing 0.2 more in depth, need a few more added content there before testing it further however.

That's all for now!
Zellemate out.
