Goblin and T chibi reveals + Devlog #124 + Monstergirl poll #49 is on!
🕑 Added 2025-07-01 12:41:36 +0000 UTCChibis!
As I mentioned this in the last devlog, I'll be revealing chibi sprites every now and then instead of a new character! Kinda testing the waters for now, I'll see what the reaction is like. Feel free to tell me how you feel about this ^^
Here are Goblin and T's R1 to R3 chibis. T has so many sprites, I separated them into 2 sheets! I actually noticed a small mistake in one of T's sprites too! It turns out her small neck lights have been missing in her sitting straight chibi all this time. It's almost nothing, but now it's fixed! I'll probably find more inconsistencies like this as time goes. ^^
R4 and R5 chibis are available to $10+ patrons!
This is going to be a shorter devlog!
The reason for that is simple, I've been doing nothing but art and directing ^^
First of all, I finished the Coatl design. This is going to be a pretty surprising one, but I'm very happy with her ^^
This means that all of the first 30 poll winners are now designed! Their ref docs have been written and several are being worked on right now.
More 3D chibi models have been finished as well and RandomGuy, who you might know if you're in the server, has been helping with these!

The Goblin and T chibis were based on the 3D models Random and MrUberPie made, which is a process GS helped me refine. Thank you again! :B
Though as it turns out, even though the whole process is now pretty optimized and efficient, it still comes with its own set of problems. It's extremely useful to keep proportions and designs consistent across all poses, but the time I would spend figuring this out on my own is more or less spent directing instead. Rather than applying it to every single character, it's generally a better option for characters with more complex designs and/or difficult poses! Or exceptions, like Slimegirl, who gets taller as she ranks up.
With so many designs ready, I'm now fully focused on the chibi sprites. In fact, it's basically all I'm gonna do over the next few months! I already have more ready that I can't wait to show ^^
I actually figured out some techniques to both import a lot of images at once in SAI 2 (I'd have to basically do it one by one before, which gets old real fast), and to export every layer of a SAI 2 file as a png! This one is especially huge as there are so many chibi sprites (or other graphical resources) to export and no way to batch export by default. I actually spent days exporting everything back before the new demo release. Thanks to this, all of that tedium has been shaved off and I can get everything exported exactly how I need it in just 5 seconds, it's perfect ^^
On the coding side, no news of the next GameMaker 2 build yet... If it doesn't come out in the next couple months or so, I'll use whatever is the most recent version and swap to the actual one I want once it does come out, which shouldn't be a big issue. Getting the right version from the get go would be ideal, but it is what it is. Then again, I've got so much to do on the chibi side that it isn't much of a worry ^^
Finally, on the audio side! I've been joined by Kawashin!

Him and AM4N have finished a new track and let me tell you, they cooked!
This was a pretty special track that I had been feeling a bit stressed about for a while now. What I wanted was very specific and actually caused some issues in the past... But they absolutely nailed it! I really can't wait to share that one ^^
On a more personal note, I'm still working on my IRL situation. If all goes well I might actually finally move out this month (hopefully)! Like before this means I'll need to focus on something other than deving here and there, but I'm finding ways to stay productive despite that.
Things will be much easier after too, I'm very excited ^^
And that's more or less everything this time!
The next few devlogs will also be on the shorter side because of the art focus, I hope you can understand! I won't run out of stuff to show for a while at least, so no worries there ^^
And now, the Monstergirl poll stuff!
The next monstergirl poll has begun! You can now vote for the monstergirl you want to be included in BE Witches in the Discord server if you are a 2$+ patron!
The poll will be active until the 12th of this month. After this, you will be able to change your submitted modifiers until the 15th. Finally, the two rounds of the modifier poll will take one week each afterwards.
Also, now is a good time to submit a monstergirl and/or modifiers if you haven't already as a patron! If you can't think of anything to submit, here is a list of ideas you can choose from. You'll need to join the server to submit anything!
Thank you for reading! Bye for now! :B
