Devlog Jan/18/2021

It's been some time since the last public devlog. We sometimes tell all sorts of small news in posts for patrons only. But this time we really have something to say. 

All art for the new version is ready. Our programmer starts working on the code from today. Meanwhile, artists will be fine-tuning the art for the animation.  We plan to release the alpha in two or three weeks.

By the way, we already have the entire script plan up to the final version. And the lyrics for so...

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Your favorite character in this version

Hi!

A lot of time has passed since the release of the public version, and I hope that you have already managed to play it. So, it's time to do the traditional poll. Content related to which character did you like the most in the new version? It is in the new version, not in the game at all.

You can choose several options if you want. Or write your opinion separately. It is very important for us to know your opinion.

Wands and Witches development roadmap

Hello!
As always, after the release of a new version, we tell you about our plans for future releases. In general, they have not changed, but a little supplemented.

The next big release, we are targeting a version number of 0.95, will focus on completing and expanding already started quests. We have no plans to add new quests in the next version, however you will see more than enough new content and new scenes. We will also increase the game time by a few days, during which your char...

Wands and Witches 0.91 gameplay experience poll

A day has passed since the release of the new version. I think many of you have already played it. As a player-centered developer, it is important for us to know about your gameplay experience. You can select several options in this poll. If you have not played the new version yet, then I ask you to come back to this poll later when you play the new version.

Thanks for your participation!

Wands and Witches 0.91b Public release

Hi!

It took a lot longer than we expected. However, we have released a new public build of our game. What can we say? You have not waited in vain. This update is very big. The size of the game has grown by 17,000 words and 27 scenes.

We remind you once again that all new content takes place after December 21st. The game time has been extended until December 25. You must use the old save, or play again before the end of December to see the new content. 

We strongly do no...

Wands and Witches 0.90Alpha is out

Hello!

Alpha version is ready and available for our $10+ Patrons!

As always with the latest releases, it turned out to be more than we had planned. The size of the game has grown by 17,000 words and 27 scenes.

We remind you once again that all new content takes place after December 21st. The game time has been extended until December 25. You must use the old save, or play again before the end of December to see the new content. We strongly do not recommend using cheats to ch...

We need YOUR saves for testing!

Hi!

We are now in the final stages of pre-alpha testing. The English localization is already proofreaded as a first approximation. Now we need your live saves for testing. December 21 or 22, right after the story quest. It is desirable that these are clean saves, where you didn't use cheats.

If you are not sure about the name of a particular save, then they look like, for example

2-4-LT1.save

where the first digit is the save page number and the second is the file numb...

Devlog Oct/21/2020

Hi!

So the translation of the new version into English is finished. It took us three days. The update turned out to be much larger than the previous one, as much as 17,000 words! Unfortunately, our English is not very good, so the translation requires correction and proofreading by a native speaker. We are very grateful to those of our subscribers and Patrons who agreed to help us with this!

In any case, part of the proofreading is already done, and now we are waiting for completi...

Devlog Oct/18/2020

Hello!

We have a good news. 

Today we have finished the code and pre-alpha testing for the new version. Starting tomorrow we will be doing the translation for the English version. It will take two or three days. After that, it will take some time to proofread the translation and test the translated version. In any case, the new version is almost ready. We'll release it next weekend, or ...

Devlog Sep/30/2020

Greetings!

To our deepest regrets, we will not be able to release the alpha in September as we promised. Two of our main team members have been very sick this month, for two and three weeks. So we lost a lot of time. For now, the estimated release date for the alpha is mid-October.

But we have good news too. Our writer continues to work on the next version, and even on the finals. The artists also started working on the next version. We will continue to post new art for our $5+ Pa...

Devlog Aug/30/2020

Hello!

I know we promised devlog a week ago. But then it was hard for us to say something for sure. Now we actually have a story to tell.

So, the code is almost ready. Our programmer says that the degree of completion is about 95%. But everything is complicated by the fact that we need to do a lot of pre-alpha testing in this version. The fact is that the events in the new version checks a lot of your actions and decisions you made earlier. Including the results of many quests tha...

Devlog Jul/11/2020

Hi!

As our Patrons reminded us, we have not done any posts for some time. So we fix it now.

Don't worry. Work is underway, although not as fast as we planned. However, the code for the new version is more than half ready. All the art is ready for a long time. The situation is worse with animation. We expected that it will be done by our artists, who are not currently loaded with work. But it didn’t work out. So just two animations are ready for now. However, we want to speed up ...

Thank you for staying with us.

We are glad that you are following us during this difficult time. We hope that everything will be fine. Be healthy.

Stay home and play our games.

Your favorite character in this version

Hi!

A lot of time has passed since the release of the public version, and I hope that you have already managed to play it. So, it's time to do the traditional poll. Content related to which character did you like the most in the new version? It is in the new version, not in the game at all.

You can choose several options if you want. Or write your opinion separately. It is very important for us to know your opinion.

Wands and Witches 0.87 what's next

Hi!

If you follow our news, then you know that almost everything is ready for the next version. Except for the code. But we have already started making code.

The next version will be entirely devoted to the Christmas Ball, without exception. That is, there will be only one quest and several events in it. But there will be content for all the characters in the next version. Also, its size must be very large, both in terms of words and scenes.

I do not know the exact alpha rel...

Wands and Witches 0.87b Public

Hi!

A new public version is ready.

Despite the fact that this version includes only half of the initially planned content, it is already quite large.  As I wrote earlier, the new version was too big, so we divided all the content into two parts. This is the first of them. 

What's new here?

- 12.5k words of new content.
- A new big quest in which you can roman...

WaW 0.86 Beta has been released!

Hello!

We just released a beta. We are still not sure if this is a bug-free version. Some animations are still not ready. But we hope this version is more playable than alpha.
What's new in this beta compared to alpha?

- Six new small events, +1500 words total.
- Added new animation with Colin.
- We have seriously redesigned navigation at Hogwarts. Transitions between locations will now be faster, and without visual effects. We also removed the "Closed" alerts.
- Now y...

Devlog Apr/13/2020

Hi!

We have some good news. While we are waiting for feedback from alpha testers, we decided to slightly diversify the content of the game. Especially the early game when you see very few different events.

We added six new small events with primary and secondary characters. Each such event is a small dialogue that a player’s character accidentally heard. These dialogs allow you to look at the characters from the other side, as well as diversify the early gameplay. In any case, t...

WaW 0.85 Alpha released for $10 Patrons!

 Hello!

We just released a new alpha. As I wrote earlier, the new version was too big, so we divided all the content into two parts. This is the first of them. Despite this, its size turned out to be quite large.
What's new in this alpha?

- 11k words of new content.
- A new big quest in which you can romance Snape. This quest is completely finished and available for the female and gay characters. This quest contains three new scenes, two of which are already animated. W...

Devlog Apr/5/2020

Hello!

We are almost done pre-alpha testing. 'Almost' means we need to finish a few more minor points before release. Unfortunately, we won’t release an alpha version today. I believe we will release it on Tuesday. Maybe on Monday, but hardly. In any case, it will be soon.

We know that you are waiting for a new version, and you can believe us - we ourselves are waiting no less than you!

Devlog Mar/29/2020

Hello!

We have a lot of news this time.

We have repeatedly written that each of our next update is getting bigger than the previous one. And that has a big impact on the release date. So, we made a fundamental decision to reduce the size of updates and increase their number.

Firstly, we decided that we will split the next update into two parts. The first one will include all events except the Christmas ball. The version numbers for this update will start at 0.85. Its size wi...

Devlog Mar/20/2020

Hello!

We apologize for the subsequent delays.  Сorona-chan psychologically finished off all of us. Joke. In fact, we have some progress here, it’s just less than we would like. All art is ready. In addition, our artists are gradually continuing to redraw old backgrounds. You can see one of these backgrounds  above. Although, frankly, there are almost no "draft" backgrounds in the game now.

As for the code, this is the most painful topic. there is a progress here, but...

Devlog Feb/14/2020

Hello!

Unfortunately, work on the new version is not progressing as fast as we would like. We still hope to release alpha in February, but that’s not for sure.

Basically, it depends on the fact that the new version will be built according to a scheme that differs from the previous ones. We already wrote that almost all of its size will be occupied by one huge event. Size matters too. We are not yet sure how many words will be in the code, but it looks like 25k+. This is actually...

Devlog Jan/15/2020

Hi!

We regularly inform our Patrons of news about how work on the next version is going. So they will already know some of what we say today.

Firstly, the text for the new version is almost completely ready. Minor changes are possible, but that is 99% done. You can see Snape's romantic quest in the new version. We will also add the logical end to Colin's “good” storyline. In addition, you can see another event with the Cat Hermione. All the rest of the content in the new versi...
