BE Witches

Hey nosebecc i noticed one bug in the game but its just random not that kind of bug that makes the game unplayable, so one time when i was about to test kobolds ability on the heart i got to seable(the starting place) amd interacted woth the scarecrow dummy but when i switched to kobold it instantly crashed, i tried this few times but it didnt work, y'know its not that important but still just saying it!

i tryed turn on debug mode, does anyone knows why it doesn't work?

Hi, firstly, great game, peak fiction!

Secondly I have found a few bugs:

1. When viewing Klehss's in a menu, when the image moves it causes her left right leg to 'flash'. I don't know if this is just due to how my computer displays it.

2. Notice on that a red and yellow onyon are on the same space, 4 from bottom, 2 from left

3. While walking through the ?Biscotti tunnels, the game crashed and i got this error

hey! it's me again, two things, is there a document or web with a guide? I don't know where to find some things, and second, I found the best way to farm xp, use 4 girls, and go to a spawn zone, there'll be one enemy that gives a lot of xp, if the spawned isn't that one, fight and don't remach, and if you find that, remach it with all the girls, in the forest before Nightmare's first encounter, focus to the phantom girl

nothing but love for this game so far, its amazin

i have absolutely no idea how to get falling stars

help! I'm new in the game, I played the old demo, I'm before do the yellow orb thing, fight to the cowgirl I think, I want to level the characters to level 14 for the rank up, I'm using the more spawn shard, bit I think I'm leveling too slow, there's a way to level faster?

nosebecc if I donated 12 months or more in tier 1 would it already be valid with what the tier is described in the print https://prnt.sc/UId2oNtDoq0Y

or would I have to donate at least once in tier 3?

how do u save?

There will be a adaptation for linux?

I am on the 3rt island, there's some way to go back to make 100% on every map or only in a new save file?

just finished the demo and now im trying to see all the BE possible on all the characters and oh man, shards are going in negatives😭😭😭

Oh amd yeah, i really like the celleras and slime nurse's booba especialy celleras bc the cowgirl and stuff it adds after 3rd rank, i like the slime nurse's bc its kinda like Vuu but makes me think its better, well tbh Imp is a real thing, i use her to fight and shes dang Hot!!

And is it true theres going to be 6th rank in feature? If yes im super happy!

Cya booba lovers!

Just out of curiousity, how do you access the other playable characters?

I can't seem to get out of Biscotti. I've looked and interacted with everything I possibly could and I'm just stuck

In the newest demo is it possible to find 6 power orbs and increase size at level 20? I am so lost as to where the last one is, if that is the case. Can I get some help? Been looking around the last shroom section in (Biscotti tunnels). I can't find the solution to section(A1-3  or  14) and can't find solution to section (B2-2 or 14) Could it be there? Are the puzzles finished?

Edit: I cheated and found a guide. It was too hard for me to notice what I was missing.  Would like to know if anyone  else had a hard time on this as well. It was a quite the reward I almost missed out on.

The game has been a blast. I can tell there has been a lot of love put into this. So charming. The character designs, the colors, the different locations. The puzzle too, some very hard, some sweet. The core battle mechanics have such a playful design. And the attractions you interact with feels really good. Even the small things like the feel of the UI, environment interaction.

As someone who has wanted to make games of my own this is truly inspiring. 

Has anyone been able to beat Nightmare? i get her hp down low but she manages to hit me for 9999 and kills be before i can recover x,x

Ok im beginning to get a lil pissed... how tf do i rank up or whatever to get the BE? Im pressing everything i can, im hitting it, don't know. I've had to skip 2 or 3 ow cuz I have no clue

Has anyone done the Night dome Constellations? i got 2 of them right by following it but some i'm still confused on how to follow the guide

What's the different between this new demo and the last demo that released in 2023? Does the play through gets longer and have more content?

有没有大佬告诉我怎么找到黄色封印

An ecchi game, not a hentai game!

But ... but, ecchi literally means H as in hentai. Japanese bashfully abreviate hentai to h and even use the english pronounciation to "hide" what they are talking about.

It is like having a bee game instead of a booba game.

nosebecc The game's difficulty isn't a problem for me, but be careful not to make the game too easy because you can make some very challenging puzzles and very good battles.

I think the shapes in the Auria Tower should have a spawn rate like the shapes in the other areas to demonstrate more about that type of battle and give people the chance to collect the triangular trinket (I mean the bill cipher from that area).

But nosebecc, just don't forget to leave something for those players who like a challenge, so that it doesn't get in the way of players who just want to finish the game.

I don't think the Brazilian Portuguese language will be added, but it will still be a good game when it's finished.

but the name of the witch gravitates when it is a selected character that would be "Goza" and it is very funny here in Brazil and just do a translation from Brazilian Portuguese to English and you will understand.

Amazing game! Am I the only one who thought the Kitsune boss was a dick in the eye though? "All the things I've learned--all things I've applied aren't helping me! [She's] just fucking wrecking me!"

Was not prepared for things to get so Touhou so fast. I gave up after an hour and dropped the difficulty and still barely won. That was at level 9.

If there was some mechanic like a particular weakness that makes the encounter more manageable, it was apparently real easy to miss. Doesn't help that you have no access to storage, shop, etc at this point.

I wouldn't have even batted an eye or asked the question if the rest of the game hadn't been exemplary in terms of polish, design and difficulty curve.

Haven't even gotten to the fetish parts yet. This game is literally just playing bejeweled and undertale while tripping on adderall, I love it and I want to die.

Edit: each segment of this game is different and more painful than the last im actually hyped

What are the use for souls?

Hey, where can I find Jelly tentacles? The guide doesn't say where to find them like it does pretty much every other item in the game

I've been wondering about the items that are dropped by witch bosses in the final version of the game, is there any way to farm these items in some kind of revenge system? Or in another system like Rose's stick drop?

Will chibi art be added for the remaining characters (which are obtained only after defeating Nightmare) in the demo version? Or will they be added only at the release (or in some future exclusive builds, if any)?

Just finished the demo, and holy hell was this an awesome experience! I'd probably give it an 8-9/10. This will be fairly long, covering things I picked up on during my playthrough, alongside things I felt could be adjusted.

--- Art

I loved pretty much all of it! It's oozing charm from every corner of the screen. From the unique interfaces such as Trix being the inventory (also tying into the games lore! The game does this a BUNCH and gives it so much points in my book) to the simple charm of getting additional effects from clicking objects, the game makes it fun enough to just simply click around the screen or just well, look at it.

A friend of mine had made the comparison that the overworld section of the game looks similar to Super Paper Mario's aesthetic, which I'd say shines through in areas like Biscotti with the geometric cliff faces/rocks contrasted by the softer chibi sprites and flora, and the red/yellow seaweed in the Sablee depths.

The pixie just sort of looks off to me in comparison to the rest of the characters. Smallish head alongside the hips just set off the anatomy alarms in my head.

Minor, but Rose looks on edge constantly cause of the small pupils lol. I get the direction ofc but it'd help if the girl's eyes calmed down a tad in some frames. And is her tattoo meant to be missing in her artwork? Can't exactly tell if the tattoo transforms directly into the claws or if it projects them.

--- Music

Again, holy heck all of it is awesome! I'd say its almost the main reason I stuck with the game. It's never repetitive or overbearing,  This is what made *me* think of SPM, rather coincidentally. I was shocked finding out RRThiel worked on this, which is probably *why* it reminds me of the game come to think of it :P.

The only track that rubbed me the wrong way was the Biscotti Tunnels theme. The bass track is too in front and doesn't really mesh well with the rhythm/tempo of the rest of the track.

--- Plot

I was NOT expecting to be so endeared by the writing in this game my god. Everything just flows so damn well, I kept noticing mechanics and justifications being weaved seamlessly into the plot, such as T losing her limbs after the escape sequence justifying why you don't have access to her until Biscotti, the subtle shooter mechanic tutorialisation with the festival and more. The angel segment was a neat and sudden subversion of the game's vibes, although it's a bit silly that you can just decide to go the wrong way back and trigger it anyways.
The game's exposition rarely if ever feels out of place, and the game takes the time to justify itself when it does happen (Vuu never having died before and thus not being as knowledgeable about the festival and titans, Rose being an isekai victim and all etc.).

The game dries out on dialogue and direction pointers after the Cerelea/Myacine fights; I was slightly confused after completing biscotti tunnels on what to do since it was a fairly long dungeon, and there's not really any introduction sequence to the Night Dome. Just something like a small reminder to also beat up the blob in the plains after freeing Biscotti. Subtle skill issue, though.

--- Gameplay

-- Exploration (Point & Click / Dungeon Crawler sequences)

I'd already said it but there's soooo many things to click and get feedback on its so damn entertaining. The puzzles stay relatively challenging and unique throughout, and a lot of rewards are hidden pretty well and out of immediate sight.

Foraging is neat, and a nice way to pad rooms that don't have a treasure or secret inside.

It would be nice if the map had a metroid-style system to show if you've missed/completed a secret in a room (ideally only after completing the dungeon) and to mark resource areas. Having notes is good for this but it would be nice to have the game mark this down for you automatically.

Stealth mode doesn't feel like it has enough of an impact on encounter rates (as in, it is rather annoying to need a fei inhibitor to get the rates I'd sort of expect with just stealth alone). Fast mode also doesn't feel like it makes you move much faster, which in combination leads to floor clean-up feeling like a bit of a slog (unless I just misunderstood what the setting does).

The fei crystals floating about in the underwater dungeon are a bit distracting, I'm sort of anticipating a puzzle whenever I see them which makes it confusing visually. It'd probably help if these were feiless variants or less notable outside of the puzzle rooms.

A skill issue on my behalf, but it's not immediately obvious how to solve the constellation puzzles in the night dome; the hint doesn't tell you to try smashing the stars, and to my knowledge the order you do them in does not matter, so it gives you outright incorrect information. I had assumed there was a hinted order from the direction of the spinning light around the stars at first. It's also possible to do the shooters here out of order, which leads to missing the tutorials for them. I found myself getting rather frustrated lining up shots until I realised you could hold down the button to aim the shot vertically.

Another skill issue, wasn't particularly obvious at first that you can drag Trix onto heartfruit to get the inventory expansion, and the mechanic of picking up Trix about doesn't seem particularly useful otherwise. Lead to me tossing them about in Biscotti after finding this out in the forest, anticipating they'd break the barrels.

Tutorial notes seem placed in rather strange locations, and later than they should otherwise be.

-- Combat (Puzzle / Shooter sequences)

This is such a damn entertaining genre fusion! I'm not really into either of the two, so it should say something that the game has engaged me so much. Reminds me of Puzzle & Dragons if it were less restrictive for tile movement (loving the chain mechanic and its potential), alongside shapes feeling like a more engaging version of punish mechanics seen in other titles. The micromanaging between them feels chaotic in the good way, although I feel you aren't rewarded for taking out shapes enough, and it is very easy to lose combo trying to clear out the outside board. Rose feels VERY restrictive in this manner, despite feeling great otherwise for shape combat. I tended to play as T due to the set and forget playstyle they have for shooting with the mines and ranged AoE.

I do hope the witch card system is made more viable. I never really felt like I needed to change witches or really use others at any point, due to being able to regear before fights and not being particularly restricted with equipment. Something like being able to use two witches at once (one for shapes, one for oyons/spells) could be interesting (but would need obvious balancing), or having passive buffs in encounters depending on the witches in the party, to increase the viability of having certain characters on the deck.

The combo meter is a super interesting mechanic, with being able to swap out which buffs you get and at which combo level.

There's a lack of scaling to shape only encounters. Feels like it could get very stagnant later in the game without any progression beyond new enemies.

-- General

Budget feels *pretty* tight. From buying spells (multiple copies per witch), needing money to store items mid-dungeon, revive npcs, warp to save points, lower spawn rates etc. I didn't feel like I had a lot of freedom with my money, and I ended up just restarting the game on failures, over dealing with the lack of utility items and witches in a dungeon at points. I never really felt restricted with shards, in comparison.

Always felt one item short off of doing the alchemy puzzles. I also didn't feel particularly enticed to engage with them as the rewards weren't particularly notable, or weren't particularly relevant without needing other spells/items first. Forget making multiple.

An option to keybind alternate left/right mouse buttons would be nice, it can get a bit hectic at times (and I'm a weirdo who willingly used touchpad so that would help with gameplay a bunch. I've tended to play pretty on par with mouse users for other games on my skill level and this game QUICKLY humbled me on the limits I have lmao)

--- Boobs

:3c teehee

Ofc its for game balance (and well, size options) and all, but are characters like Nightmare *really* rank 1 when we get them? Sort of expect someone like the yellow guardian to be well, not rank one. Makes me double take.

I hope the rank lock setting is made a bit more robust. I feel like the game genuinely stands on its own without the ecchi content, and it's why I haven't mentioned it until now; it's just not my immediate thought on what makes the game feel good to play or what kept me playing, and I'd hope it can be as serviceable when possible to as much people (prudes) as possible.

'Rank Lock' isn't immediately descriptive until you connect the dots between ranking and BE, a more direct name would be helpful.

More granularity would also help; locking rank appearance per witch, alongside presets to match people's limits better (perhaps someone's fine with when it comes up in the plot, but don't want the amount of 'freedom' Nightmare or Cerelea ends up having, for example).

Being able to set rank lock on first boot would also be nice, if someone wants to boot up the game without risk of catching weird looks from those who hate fun and whimsy.

Of course, considering its literally in the title of the game, don't let any guardrails set up ultimately restrict you from what you aim to create at the end of the day :P

--- Game Title

It's a biiit annoying to find the game or content relating to it. 'be witches' will come up literally, and 'breast expansion witches' will just assume nsfw tags. Probably something worth keeping in mind.

I loved the experience throughout, and I can't wait to see this game evolve as time goes on.

Will this get mobile?

NoseBecc, the game BE Witches has very good gameplay and a cool story and characters that are fun to watch interact. I would have liked to have seen some interaction from Rose about improving her rank. It seems like she came from the "isekai effect" so I thought it would be funny.

It's a shame that I'll already be playing the demo on normal and difficult, collecting everything ): I just didn't use the mechanics of changing the witch during the duels much because I didn't find it very useful. I don't like playing this type of game where you mix 3 or more colors and point click, but as I said, I really enjoyed playing your game.

It would be cool to see some characters that you resurrect appear at the cafe at a table to see dialogue interactions with the character that is in front of the party, but I understand if that's not possible.

Your game is very good to play. I think it would be a good idea to talk to some gaming influencers and recommend your game when it's finished or to support the project.

I don't know how famous the game is outside of Brazil.

To be honest, I haven't completed the game yet (I'm still suffering in the Biscotti tunnels), but I can already say that the new demo is even better than the old one (no wonder, more than 4 years have passed since the last public demo). It's a pity that it's still quite a long time to wait for the full version of the game, but at least the game no longer resembles an "endless loop" (as it was in the last public demo), haha.

The only thing I particularly disliked was Vestia's "death" (all because of the recent update of the plot in one game, and yes, I wrote it in spades, because it's not known if you plan to somehow bring her back to life in any way or not). But these are personal claims, nothing more. So it doesn't spoil the game.

By the way, I noticed on the Steam page that you are the only publisher of the game, although there was another one before. Did you have any problems with the previous publisher (I just don't read blogs, maybe that's where you explained the situation)? You don't have to tell me what happened if it's something like that.

Never mind about the Jelly Tentacles. I just found my first one after like 15 Jelly kills so I was just getting unlucky with the drop rate lol. The game is super awesome btw and I've been really enjoying the battle mechanic!!

Android version?

quick question but is there anything else you can do with debug mode apart from walking everywhere
