Hey everyone, 

We have hit a pretty cool milestone and reached 400 backers of the campaign, so here's a look at an as yet unseen character from the game...

Can you guess what she does?

Cursed Talisman Shrine
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Jun 08, 2019 at 01:15:22 PM

So much for the Talisman Shrine being cursed, because this level is now achieved, thanks to all of you, we have now hit yet another stretch goal.

This adds the Cursed Shrine as a object of power that you can build int he game, which allows you to assign individual talismans to characters in the game. Some will affect there temperament towards you, whilst others might simply adjust what outfits they are wearing.

Next Goal

Our next main goal will be attained when we reach the £23,000 of funding, and will unlock a significantly large amount of new content for the game.

This level of funding will allow us to add the Map system to the game, at present the game is primarily focused around your house, the visitors and the mushroom grove where you absorb magical essence, but this goal will add a larger area for you to explore each day if you wish.

Whilst your home will still be where the majority of content will be enjoyed, by working as a Witch (naturally) there will now be other locations to visit; currently this will add the following locations.

  • Home (If you leave you can easily return) 
  • Mushroom Grove
  • Tavern
  • Market
  • Blacksmith
  • Farm
  • Barn
  • Wilder Lake
  • Abandoned House
  • The Wilds

Each location will have different things to do, villagers to speak to and additional events to unlock, through these new locations we will also be able to add more secrets to find as well. Players will be able to explore the different locations freely, at any time choosing to leave their home to visit the village rather than work, but bare in mind you also need to make money to live, so you cannot explore all the time.

As things progress in the campaign more locations may also be added to this list... 

Design Rewards
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Jun 08, 2019 at 01:15:10 PM

First thank you for voting in the poll to determine how we create the secondary characters. Remember these are just the minor characters, travellers, heroes passing through town and the lesser known villagers that exist within the town.

The choices were simple a few completely unique characters (Create New) or a whole host of characters with a familiarity from our other games (Edit Existing). In the end, by an overwhelming majority you have decided that you would rather have a huge range of secondary characters rather than a few unique designs and so work will begin on those, we will try to reveal some during the campaign to illustrate how the minor characters may look and will be prioritising our artists to this in the coming week.

Design Rewards

Based on this decision and the campaigns success so far (now exceeding the £20k goal) we can now offer character design rewards and because of the way these characters are to be created we can keep them hopefully reasonably priced.

As such we have added five new reward levels:

  • £180 - Digital Minor Character Design

This level includes all the digital rewards and also the option to design one of the new minor characters who will be in the game.

  • £305 - Physical Items & Character Design

This level includes the Witch Dakimakura Set (two daki's: Witch & Ophelia) and the Physical Items Bundle (DVDs, Poster, Artbook etc), it also includes the option to design one of the new minor characters who will be in the game.

  • £400 - Dakimakuras & Character Design

This level includes the Witch Daki Set (two daki's: Witch & Ophelia), the Physical Items Bundle (DVDs, Poster, Artbook etc) and the Complete Dakimakura Bundle (Six Romanceable Character Daki's), it also includes the option to design one of the new minor characters who will be in the game.

  • £500 - Special Character Design

This level includes the Witch Daki Set (two daki's: Witch & Ophelia), the Physical Items Bundle(DVDs, Poster, Artbook etc) and the Complete Dakimakura Bundle (Six Romanceable Character Daki's), it also include the option to design one of the new minor characters who will be in the game. With the additional option to also choose what RACE they will be within the game. 

  • £2000 - Major Character Design

This level includes all physical and digital rewards of the campaign, in addition those who choose this level can design a major character who will appear in the game, the character will receive an original design based on the backers descriptions, a dakimakura design, a physical version of which will also be included and an intimate end game scene as the character will be romance-able like all other major characters currently showcased.

All of these design rewards also include the option to design a potion too. More details on these tiers are below and on the main campaign page.

New Reward Chart

Minor Character Design

 This design level, gives you the opportunity to create a minor character who will appear in the game, thanks to the choices of our backers we are able to create minor characters at a relatively low cost making it possible for you to have your input on one of them.

This grants you the option of providing the following details for the character:  Hair Style & Colour, Skin Tone, Eye Colour & Shape, Characters Name, Personality, Brief History, Role and also to provide references for certain clothing options. For this design level the characters must all be human. But can be male or female. 

Special Character Design

 This design level is an augmented version of the minor character design level, similar to that it allows you to create a minor character for the game; designing the Hair Style & Colour, Skin Tone, Eye Colour & Shape, Characters Name, Personality, Brief History, Role and also to provide references for certain clothing options. 

 Unlike the Minor character design level, this level also allows you to choose what alternative race this will be from the available character races shown above. After which you will also be able to choose certain traits and bonus character features based on what race it is. 

Major 'Romance-able' Character Design

 The highest design tier of the campaign is to create a main character, that is romanceable during the game. This character unlike the minor and specials will be designed from scratch based on your specification, you can provide reference images of descriptions as you prefer.

As this is a romanceable character the character must be female to remain in keeping with the current development plans. But can be any race, any design and any profession (though we will discuss this to ensure it is in-keeping with the fantasy world we have designed). In addition at this level we will create a Dakimakura for the character and an intimate scene for end game content like the other romance-able characters.

£22k Secret Goal!
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Jun 08, 2019 at 01:15:00 PM

Greetings all,

We have now exceeded the £22,000 worth of funding, and as we continue our march towards the goal of adding the map function to the game it is time to reveal a little secret goal.

Emoticons

This is a little bonus for those on the Wallpapers tier and higher, essentially that digital reward will now be augmented to include a set of emoticons based on the characters of the game. 

Above are some examples of the custom emoticons we have on our discord channel for people to play with. This bonus item in the Wallpapers tier will create similar emoticons for people to play around with on other platforms.

As part of the fun, we have a poll below for you all to vote on what emoticons you would most like to see us create.

More Goals Knocked Aside
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Jun 08, 2019 at 01:12:20 PM

Hey everyone,

Thank you all for the support as we have now achieved the £23k goal, unlocking the map content we described for the game.

The Map

Currently the game includes a map as follows:

More details on the map and locations to explore will be coming in a future daily info update.

Secret 24k Goal: The Wilds Achieved!

Our secret stretch goal has also been reached in the time it has taken to write this update, which adds the option for the Witch to explore the Wilderness from The Wilds which is an entrance-way of sorts into the wilderness.

Originally the Witch would have been able to encounter just a few creatures in the Wilds area, now the Witch will be able to explore randomly in the great wilds, finding some amazing locations that few have seen and find more secrets.

Next Goal

Our next goal is at the £25k funding level, it will unlock more creatures for the game which will fill the Wilderness so that as you explore the various locations you will also encounter more creatures.

As a witch you have an affinity with nature and the various creatures that exist in the world. As such you know that you need not fear these monsters as long as you treat them correctly. Of course it is also a good idea to have a backup plan in case things go badly.
