Works great! You’re the best, I’m flattered to prompt an update (even if it isn’t just for me <3)

Great game, been following for a while.
My only real complaint about the game is that the BE part of the game is basically irrelevant, you upgrade the tiddy then the tiddy is bigger and that’s it. If it was up to me, I’d make breasts downsize as a character gets hurt, if they’ve been upgraded in the past.
Basically like you’ve upgraded an enemy to rank 4; as her health gets lower, she drops to the rank 3 size, then 2, then 1 until she loses.
Another option I guess would be to have the BE tied to mana storage, like you’d build your mana and her tits would grow up to whatever max you’ve upgraded it to, then they’d shrink when you cast spells, but I suppose that’d basically punish the player for casting spells, so I dunno.
IDK, it just feels like the BE side of the game should be a bit more tied to the gameplay and not just upgrading it and forgetting it.
I have to reiterate though, the game is incredible as a game, my complaint is basically that the game is JUST lewd enough that I can’t play it publicly, but it’s not lewd enough to really fap to, I guess.
While I agree that the pieces are pretty disparate, I don’t think HP-based shrinking really gels with the theme of the game. It’s BE witches, not Breast Reduction witches.
The mana growth idea could work, but at the same time it lends a sort of impermanence to the big sizes.
Personally, I just want the biggest tits to be the ones I see, the actual growing of them is just in service to that end.
This game is in a really weird spot as you say- it’s really mechanically good but just on the wrong side of NSFW to be accessible. Which obviously has other downsides. I don’t know what a good change would be, tbh. If any.

Glad to know that took care of it! 
Yeah the game really does land in a weird place, my only real argument for that is that in the end I’m just doing what I like.
The enemy BE is only there to show that it happens to other characters in the demo, it will be different in the final game.
As firesoul said the problem I have with breast size decreasing during fights and such is that it gets rid of the idea of permanence, which I don’t like.
There are actually reasons to rank up other than BE, it’s simply not very clearly explained in the demo: amplifying increases your max number of mana during fights, unlocks new equipment slots, and allows you to use better spells (the only example of that in the demo being E-Flame, which can only be equipped at rank 2+). There will be a few others in the final game, but that’s it for the demo. If anyone has ideas for other rank up related changes, I’m open to them!
I think the real problem is that it’s not explained very clearly, happens very fast, and isn’t required to beat the demo. That will change with better balancing of both the enemies and the rank up conditions.

Once you finish this version of the game making a SFW game with the same mechanics could be good as well. Because the gameplay itself is great.
I might simply add a setting which visually keeps every girl at rank 1, I think that would do the trick.
It’s been a hot minute to say the least… The initial post has been updated! I just released a huge update to the game.
I hope you’ll enjoy it! ^^

How does one download the cheat version? If its still even available that is.
It’s not a thing anymore, it was too much extra work to keep it updated. There IS a debug mode on the Patreon version, but other than that the public version needs to be played normally now ^^
I might genuinely be a bit stupid, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to progress past the windmill. I get that I’m supposed to do something with the button behind the barrels, but I cannot find/figure what the additional step is, I may be dumb stupid.
Nevermind I was in fact stupid, after flailing for a while I accidentally found it, I can progress!

I can’t figure it out, I’m also stuck on that part. What am I missing?
It has to do with the cave, one of the colors won’t match the others, and it doesn’t use the new smash hand.

Ahh, I see! Thanks! I had tried it before but the box to grab it was a little strange so I gave up on that idea
Thank you, I’ll try to make this part a bit more obvious!
If you ever get stuck too hard, you can find a walkthrough here ^^

which level of the patreon does one need to get access to the debug mode?
The $1 tier is enough ^^
This game is extremely well made, and honestly could easily be a regular non-fetish game. I really liked how you introduced the mechanics within narrative, with the minigames at the festival. I did feel like as a BE game, it did seem to lack moments where the fetish takes center stage. The gameplay loop is challenging enough and engaging. There were times I didn’t like the point and click and puzzle aspect, as it’s really easy to miss things, and have to go searching the previous area meticulously. But overall, a very high quality game!

IMO, BE Witches isn’t lewd enough to be a “breast expansion fetish” game (despite the name), but it’s too lewd to play openly like any other game on a public account with your door open for anyone to see. Really the only “in-between” game like this that I like is probably Atlyss, and even that’s a smidge too lewd for my SFW Steam account.
Also, IDK, I’m just not a fan of NSFW games that are super long or have a lot of padding, it’s super hard to justify spending hours between lewd scenes when people are generally limited in how much time they can dedicate to shutting themselves in their room with the door locked, and this game’s got a lot of padding. Outside of the MC going up half a cup size about an hour into the game, there’s no BE for like, another four hours after that, and at that point I was long past done playing, heh.
EDIT: ha, I just realized I complained about this like four years ago, I’m repeating myself.
Anyway, new observation: Steam players will likely only get the one BE scene at the beginning and a lot of flat/small chests within the return window, as the next BE scene is a few more hours in (depending on how they play, at least.) Makes me wonder if people will return the game due to not having enough BE scenes? I think this is part of why game devs love frontloading content, hooking players in long enough to keep them from returning it? IDK.

That’s very fair! I agree that the lack of BE content is one of the main flaws currently. I wrote something about it in this FAQ !
But basically, the next big update will aim to fix this!
I want to increase the BE to gameplay ratio, especially near the beginning precisely for the reason you mentioned.
I appreciate the criticism, thank you very much ^^
