Wands and Witches

So we’ve finished Wands And Witches.

It took us a long seven years. It’s fair to say there were big pauses in the game’s development. But it was always you – our players – who helped us out. It was you who gave us the strength and motivation to move on.

We always tried to listen to the community. It was your wishes and the results of your polls that guided us in creating this game. During these years, even the very concept of the game has changed. Initially the game was planned to be more like a sandbox, with no main story at all. The animations were simple and made on the engine (you can still see some of these animations in the game).

But it was your feedback that made the game what it became. The game became simpler, more obvious, less grindy.

During this time the composition of our team has also changed a lot. Two writers have changed. Almost a dozen artists and designers worked on our game at different times.

But now the development of the game is finished. How do we feel about it? Various things. We are happy that now we will be able to focus on the development of a new project. We are a little bit sorry to part with our old characters (though let’s not hide it, we’ve gotten bored enough with them ). Technically, the game has become quite outdated during this time. And we could hardly refrain from spending a lot of time to bring it to more modern standards. Maybe we’ll still do it later, releasing a gold edition or something. Anyway, in the coming months, the game may still get minor updates for localizations that community members help us with.

But now, version 1.0 is out. We hope our older players will enjoy what our game has become and how it ended. And those who didn’t play Wands And Witches during development will be able to discover this game.

Thank you everyone!

The game is finished, but our studio’s creative journey is not. We would appreciate it if you follow us in the future as well.
