DomJOI Witch - v1.1 Release - Bi-weekly changelog - Survey results - AND MUCH MORE
First off, I want to thank everyone for their patience and support. We’re two weeks behind schedule, but I’m confident the new version is worth the wait!
The delay was a combination of a few things. There was some major drama on itch.io that took a lot of my attention, and I also got pretty burned out working on the Android version. On top of that, we ran two surveys to get your feedback on the game. I’m really sorry about the delay. I try to stick to my word, but sometimes things just don’t go as planned. I ended up needing two extra weeks instead of one, but I’ll try to be more realistic with timelines in the future.
In a few days, we’ll be adding the official post about hardware requirements. There’s also a special build for slightly older hardware that doesn’t support Vulkan SM6 — it’s called Windows-DX11.
Lastly, before getting into the details, I’d like to thank you all, as this month we hit our target for new supporters! We even have our first mastermind-level supporter! You all rock!
TLDR:
First ever poll, and then another one!
New rhythm task - cock hero-like events
New Kink: Humping with a few “toys” ;)
New Kink: Pain
A lot of community feedback implemented
Banners now shown for endings
Bazillions of bugfixes
More options in the engine settings
Last Android version that will work on older phones - read the poll results section
Some UI tweaks
A lot of codebase changes (I’m constantly refactoring to make it easier to maintain, and it’s already paying off!)
Some marketing
New DX11 version for slightly older hardware that doesn’t support Vulkan SM6
Discord enhancements! Join us on Discord.
Long story
I know you’ve been waiting patiently for the Android looking good and new version, but I have to be honest—it’s a massive challenge. As the main dev, I got sidetracked trying to fix it, but it’s just not happening without a huge investment. The game’s materials, meshes, and lighting are just too complex for older phones and ES3.1. To get it to run at all, the next Android version will require a powerful phone. I’ll post the detailed hardware requirements in a few days. I’m even buying a new phone myself to test it properly—no more borrowing from relatives :D. This change was voted on in the second poll.
By the way, some of you have noticed (once more) the creepy smiles on the character. That’s my face! I recorded my facial expressions on my iPhone, and, well, my face isn’t perfectly proportional. Maybe it’s a feature, not a bug?
The menu for engine options also got a few new options, so it’s easy to scale the game to your hardware. When the game starts it also set the default scalability level based on platform - high/medium on PC and low on Android. Tweak the game to your liking and hardware :).
The rhythm are a new type of task that requires the player to stroke you know that ^^”, it’s like cock hero game. There are to option the “edge” and “cum” during tasks, edge is non-punishment at the moment, but in the future we might add extra options for it. In the end instead of using 4 animations I created 7, just to make it look better. It’s still not perfect, but it’s good enough. Visit “Kinks” options to enable extra options.
From technical point of view in my previous game I used collision to determine when the “stroke” of the rhythm should happen. But it’s quite resource hungry solution and it’s quite slow. Because of that now it’s done with UI and timers. It’s not perfected yet, so your feedback about it is suuuuuper crucial for us. DM me, write on Discord, itch.io comments are welcome etc.
The new humping and pain kinks add more than 100 new tasks to the game! The humping kink also includes four toys to extend it! There was a small change to the nipples kink, as now some tasks that might be painful require both the nipples and pain kinks to be present. This is to ensure the game is more consistent and the tasks are more logical.
We were able to implement a lot of new features, like banners during endings. There was a nasty regression bug that caused a little havoc, but it was fixed after a day of debugging. There are also a lot of new unit tests :).
Another improvement is how pretasks are handled. Now, it’s a more specific, single function that makes it much easier to get the pretask for a given task cluster. Also, the way task clusters are built is now much easier to understand, as there’s a factory class that provides a better, single, and easier-to-use way to create task clusters. For anyone interested in the code, it’s clear how important it is to clean the codebase regularly and introduce small fixes and refactors to make it easier to maintain :).
I did a little work with marketing, starting with making Discord much, much better. Thanks to one of our supporters for pitching the idea of making it a community server and how to manage channels!
There were a lot of bug fixes. My favorite is the bug with the outfit color. It was simple to fix, as it only required a change in the order of messages, but it’s quite impactful since you should now get colorful outfits as intended. Another fix was for the feet outfit, as there was a small string bug that caused the character not to wear boots :)!
Lastly I also bought and tested the new Xandra F4 model. And it’s good, the new options when it comes to genitals are great, but there is no promised futa option yet (the male model is still in production). We will wait for the bundle, as our game requires clothes, hairstyles etc. Change the main model might look like a small change, but in reality because of so many dependencies and customizations that I added to it would require a lot of work. For now, we wait.

About polls
There were two polls. The first one was about the Android version. The results were clear - the new version will use Vulkan and SM5, which means that it will require a powerful phone. It’s end of support for older phones. The poll was open for everyone, and the results are extremely clear - it’s better to support fewer phones, but have a working and good-looking game. Also with time more and more phones should support Vulkan and SM5.
The second poll was about the new kinks/features. The results were also clear in order of popularity:
Most popular:
Futa option
Self-Facial Endings
Toys: Vibrator
Then came:
New Poses and Animations (especially low-angle shots)
Glasses
Horns
Toys: Condom
Toys: Fleshlight/Sleeve Toy
In the end the next version plan in MoSCoW is:
Self-Facial Endings - Must have
Toys: Vibrator - Must have
New Poses and Animations (especially low-angle shots) - Must have
Glasses - Should have
Horns - Could have
Toys: Fleshlight/Sleeve Toy - Could have
Toys: Condom - Could Have
The Horns should allow me to marketing the game more for the Monster Girl fans! The glasses are a nice touch, and the new poses and animations should make the game more interesting. The vibrator is a must-have, as it’s a popular toy. The self-facial endings are also a must-have, as you want them, so I want them too ;).
What’s Next?
Changes to the game cores - new session types
New kinks and tasks according to the poll results
New Android version with SM5 and Vulkan only - powerful phones only
Ohh a few bug fixes here and there like no more breast jiggle on teleport >.<” (It’s not a bug, it’s a feature :D)
Thank You
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience, support and understanding. This journey has been challenging, but your encouragement keeps me going. I’m committed to making DomJOI Witch as long as there are people interested in it and I can see real growth in both the game and the community, especially supporters (I still dream about becoming fully independent and working on the game full time!).
