The Pill 0.4.7 Release!
🕑 Added 2021-04-25 08:16:11 +0000 UTCUPDATE: It turns out the mac issue is a Unity-wide problem to do with newer versions of OSX. I have built the game in a newer version of Unity which has the fix for some of the Mac issues. If you're a mac user please re-download and let me know if it works (there have been mixed results of success on the forums).
Happy weekend to you all! I am excited to release to you The Pill v0.4.7. Many of you have been patiently waiting for it and while I wouldn't call it Mozart I am proud of the result.
With it comes a new character to add to the roster 'Luca'! This version adds the first part of her chapter, with the second being introduced in v0.4.8 coming later this year. As stated above, it brings a host of new transformations, animations, ending and unlocks.
PC version | Mac version | Android version (note: experimental, videos may not work).
Whenever these come out I normally start a new game (which does not remove your achievement unlocks) but in theory this should work with all existing saves as well.
One thing that's different about this chapter is that I've tried to spread the loading load across the chapter itself, which means you get in faster, but does result in some pauses during dialogue. It's a step in the right direction but ideally in a future version, I'll look into proper asynchronous loading to solve the issue.
As always it's still an alpha so let me know of any issues you have and I'll try to address them as soon as I can. Otherwise enjoy!

great work!love the part of luca muscle growth,thats Amazing like mixing with BE and height growth which make sense from physics lol. hope to see more fmg and height mixing with be. really wonderful animation
B.E. Grove
Glad you liked it! And luckily there is more Luca in the next update :)
Lex
Luca Luca Luca Luca! Please more of her in future versions. She clearly loves growth most of all, so hopefully there's one where she gets really big (more than what we have now)
B.E. Grove
Huzzahs! Really glad it worked.

I downloaded the game for a third time but this time on a flash drive and a very clear day and now it works!
B.E. Grove
What happens when you try to run the .exe file? Do you get an error?
B.E. Grove
Not sure this one would ever get through Nintendo's content filter... Steam maybe one day though 😉
B.E. Grove
One day 😉

I seem to have problems with it. I downloaded it, but i can't seem to run it at all. I am using a PC.

DatGhostboi

B.E. Grove
Hope you enjoy.
DatGhostboi
awesome im finally back can't wait to play it yes.
B.E. Grove
There are, I'm on my mobile and can't grab them right now but you can find them in the Content Catch Up. There's one for Belle, Trish and one on how to get the secret ending in The Party.
B.E. Grove
Which version of the os are you using?
B.E. Grove
That's a first. What operating system are you using?
xFlashback
Are there guides for the endings?
I can't get it to open on mac. Immediately quits after opening.
RedWolf
I am having some technical issues, the option menu doesn't stop blinking in and out fast on top of the game. I have tried reinstalling or messing with the option settings, no dice. Has anyone experienced this issue before?
B.E. Grove
The catch-all type ending with the pill mixing has miffed a couple of folk and it's something I'll consider to look at when I make the second part of Luca's chapter. Even if it's just more unique animations. The chapters are connected, which will be partly made evident in the second part of Luca's story and may be more cemented in future chapters.
dawnbreaker
I will say this was very well done. Luca might be my favorite now but that might also have to do with having just played through her content. Plus her content was stuff that is more my taste then some of the other stuff in the game so that will naturally give her brownie point. Will say at first when I was doing the double pill into other pill routes I thought there might be different ending for it but it was the same as the other mix. Which was a bit unfortunate but I can understand how it would end up at a similar place. Regardless I still appreciate giving it variety in how you get there and how it starts. It’s a nice touch that didn’t necessarily need to be there. On another note I’ve been wondering something since I checked out the party chapter. Are all these chapters connected somehow? I know they all take place in the same world. Heck the first 2 girls know each other. However I was more so thinking in a more concrete timeline type thing. Or is it more of a loose connection at best where it’s more so intended as a reference/callback at best and not something to really be over thinking about.
B.E. Grove
I know many love it, but unfortuntaely multibreast isn't something I'm planning on in the near future. The main reason being that compared to other types of transformations it's actually really hard using the software I do.
B.E. Grove
You're headed in the right direction.
B.E. Grove
Interesting - are these saves ones that you have done on the latest build or ones from past builds?
B.E. Grove
I'll keep your suggestions in mind - at the moment for Android I'm just doing a straight up conversion of the PC version, but if I am able to make it more customised I will.
B.E. Grove
Hi Dark Matter, glad you enjoyed the story, save for the height/muscle elements. The next pill 'vitality' will focus on butt growth, and when combined with charisma will... well you'll find out. I actually saved it for last because I felt the average patron would appreciate it more as a standalone than the power pill.
B.E. Grove
Thanks Jacob, glad you enjoyed it.
Jacob
loving the story in this chapter they are the best couple
Sorry if you mentioned this elsewhere or if its in this update i have had a chance yet to see it ,but do you plan on or have considered multi-breast.
God's mistake
It's a great game and it has me wondering about that vitality pill maybe some rear end love
GKMoritz
Hey there i have some "save game" problems.. i cant load a save. If i m in game it just turns black and from the menu nothing is happening :(
Dagoloth
On Android can you make the icons twice as big and move them in one icon space and up/down one icon space? It also seems that the animations are stretched wide.
Allan Ellsworth
That’s funny cause I’m pretty sure the first versions of the pill were done in Ren’Py for that exact reason, but it was too inefficient. Maybe the change came with adding Trish, I don’t entirely remember
Have you ever looked into using Ren'PY instead of Unity? It may save you time since it is designed for visual novels. Just a suggestion.
Dark Matter
Wonderful work. The story was fun and the animations were great. I'm not personally part of the GTS or muscle growth crowds (the former does nothing for me and the latter actively turns me off), but I'm happy those enthusiasts have an update more focused on them. Hoping future releases will focus more primarily on BE (and maybe to a lesser extent butt growth). That third BE sequence in this update was one of my favorites you've ever done!
B.E. Grove
Dexterity won't be included I'm afraid as vitality is the third pill. Going for four would put the possible combinations into the hundreds, though be assured that there will still be a nice variety of transformations from these combos!
Rex429
Will there also be a dexterity pill added in the next update or would that be too much?
B.E. Grove
Thank you for asking. You have to download this version, there is no update function as of yet in the game.
Hello, Do you have to download this version or is there an update to the old one ? (Translate with Google)
B.E. Grove
The amount of work that goes into it can definitely be daunting, but if you break it down into the individual pieces (writing/modelling/compiling) it just becomes a matter of time and persistance.
B.E. Grove
You might need to wipe your Unity Player Preference: https://answers.unity.com/questions/22088/i-cant-find-playerprefs-on-windows.html#:~:text=On%20Windows%20standalone%20players%2C%20PlayerPrefs,%25%5CUnity%5CWebPlayerPrefs%20on%20Windows. Also if you don't want to go into registry try hitting alt+enter. It'll go full screen, but may cause some popups to be in the wrong location.
B.E. Grove
After you unzip it, it should just be a matter of double clicking The Pill.exe file

This appears to be a Unity wide issue: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/macos-builds-now-contain-a-quarantine-attribute?_ga=2.140049331.1855096908.1619435003-1842713861.1615266901 I'm updating my Unity version and hopefully that will solve the issue, though if not trench-lust discovered a workaround here: https://youtu.be/6fqzb4qpgcs

A slight difference, but I'm glad you noticed.

There are guides for the other chapters, though not yet for this one. The guides can be found in the content catch up post.
B.E. Grove
Thanks WestX, if I can get one true LOL moment each update I count it as a win.
B.E. Grove
Hope it all worked out for you.

It's true, though this time the issue seems to be communication error between unity and the new mac OS (https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/macos-builds-now-contain-a-quarantine-attribute?page=1#comments)
B.E. Grove
Glad you were able to get a workaround, and that you enjoyed it :)

Gotta keep her in check somehow.

That it will.

Happy (belated) birthday!

Thanks again, from looking in to this, this does appear to currently be a good solution.
B.E. Grove
Thanks trench-lust, much appreciated!

To anyone having trouble with opening the Mac app because it's "damaged" I found this solution which helped me and it worked fine. https://youtu.be/6fqzb4qpgcs

Brilliant as always. Its always fun trying to find all the endings and seeing how everything plays out! Well done!
real_hesh
I'm not sure how, but the app starts in a very narrow window that I can't resize. I'm using Windows, and the app had worked previously.
Matthew Jodoin
Yeah it said I needed 10.13 or higher so I have to use my pc. Im still trying to figure out how to get it to work from the zip on my windows.
JacDa
Yeah unfortunately I am unable to get the mac version to work for me as well :/
OsMyDog
Took me a second to realize the compound endings were all different animations. Very nice
RC
Yeah I'm afraid the Mac version still isn't working.
CC
I agree. Not able to change or make the game fullscreen even with the usual hotkeys. Makes it impossible to see or play
Is there a guide to get all the endings available?
BELover02
why is the game only in a small window?? no fullscreen available on PC?
WestX
I actually laughed out loud about Luca and the wallet test. Excellent work all around on her chapter.
DragoonGTS
As usual a great update. I can see the hard work that went into this and it only makes me stay away from making a game for now because of the time it takes to do this. This is a very very good project you got there!
Some Guy
Looking forward to Vitality myself, would also like to see dexterity pills that would make her frame more petite as well.
royaljelly
Downloading it now. I'm hype to see the new stuff!
Amazing work!
Some Guy
Would those be Heightened charisma, towering power, and one too many? while they end the same they start with three different builds depending on earlier choices she can start with two charisma and add a strength for heightened charisma, I'm fairly certain towering power is 2 strength with an added charisma and one to many starts with 1 strength and 1 charisma than adds an additional of one of the two.
Pazneccht
masterwork dude , this new animations .... 1st i was like only 5 endings ? we are being robbed , but after plaing i changed my mind . Simply amazing , i can say for whole comunity we want more asap :D wonder what will vitality pills do :D this was the best chapter yet !
Im also having Mac problems
PetetheTroll
you might want to try different software opening the file. Sometimes the software your using actually wrecks the file.
whatajoke2
So popping open my backup Windows machine, I was able to get a chance to play this. I think Luca is my fave of the girls. Looking forward to the next part when Vitality gets added!
Rex429
Will the Vitality pill be available in the next update?
Olaughalot
An amazonian to compete with Trish? I'm liking this
HektorPlasm
Saving and loading does not work for me. The first time I tried all of my saves disappeared. No big deal, but something wrong is going on. Also, I LOVE the Luca's story side and her animations are probably my favourite, but still, three of her achievements looks exactly the same :(
whatajoke2
also getting the issues with Mac
MysteryJoker
Still having the same issue as above on Mac, saying it is damaged.
Seán Davidson
So great timing! The day after my birthday!
B.E. Grove
I've done a re-build and am uploading a new version now. Will let you know the link when it's ready

it keeps telling me the file is damaged and cant be opened and to move it to trash. im on mac.
