Wands and Witches [v1.0 Public] [Completed]

v1.0 Public

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 Technically, the game has become quite outdated during this time.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.

v0.98_Beta
– Fixed bugs
– English localization has been proofread (Thanks to Send help for this)
– Built-in cheats added
– Interface changes

v0.97_Alpha
This version contains the finals, and technically completes the game. It’s size approximately 16,000 words in the English version. Finals are very complex, and depend on both your actions and the actions of the NPCs during the game. There are three main plots, depending on how you progressed through the game, and character finales. All animations have been completed too.

V0.95 Public
As we write, there is no new search in this version. Instead, we focus on completing the previous search beginning. Eight previous searches began to be expanded and resolved.

New content includes a new scene with Hermione (for male and female characters, but more for women). New scene with Luna (for male and female characters). New scene with Harry for women’s character. New scene with Ron for men’s character. And also some new events with special art for them.

Also, we introduce a way to influence the relationship between NPCs, and ways to find out about this relationship. Both are achieved through new events with old characters.

In addition, we have made several changes to the game balance. Some “Tough” characters now have reduced skills and ability requirements during their search.

Also, according to many of your requests, we have removed the time limit to play in this version. However, if you play beyond a certain point, the game will warn you that further savings may not be suitable for the final.

We have redesigned gifts in several searches, and they provide an increase in the ability of your constant character now. In fact, you can get +1 for every ability during the match.

public v0.91b.

• fix bugs because of which search can begin in the afternoon
• fix bugs that prevent 65 search completion for women’s characters in some cases.

V0.91 Public

• Two new searches. The first is the Christmas ball. The second happens during the ball, and you will fail if you cannot solve it before the ball ends.
• New clothes for almost all characters.
• New sprite, more varied for Ginny. So far we only use it for the ball, but we will replace the old sprite in the rest of the game in the next version.
• Four backgrounds have been redesigned or redrawn to better match the spirit of the holiday.
• Three new soundtracks.
• We have fixed a lot of bugs from the previous version.
