Wands and Witches

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 Technically, the game has become quite outdated during this time.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. ~The Team! v0.999_Beta - A lot of bugs and glitches have been fixed. - Added French and Ukrainian localisations (we are looking for a native proofreader for the French version). - English localisation has been proofread - Changed fonts in the whole game. I hope they are more readable in general. - Redesigned the interface of some screens and menus. - Added missing art, redrawn a couple of scenes. - Added a few characters to the ‘magic window’. 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. v0.95a. - Known bugs fixed. - Android version should work normally now. - English localization has been greatly improved. v0.95 Public As we already wrote, there are no new quests in this version. Instead, we focused on completing previously started quests. The eight previously started quests were expanded and completed. The new content includes new scenes with Hermione (for the male and female characters, but more for the females). New scenes with Luna (for both male and female characters). New scenes with Harry for the female character. New scene with Ron for the male character. And also several new events with special art for them. Also, we introduced the way to influence relationships between NPCs, as well as the way to know about these relationships. Both are achieved through new events with old characters. In addition, we have made some changes to the game balance. Some "tough" characters now have reduced skills and abilities requirements during their quests. Also, according to your numerous requests, we have removed the restrictions on playing time in this version. However, if you play beyond a certain point, the game will warn you that further saves may not be suitable for the finals. We have redesigned the reward in some quests, and they give a constant increase in your character's abilities now. In fact, you can get +1 to each ability during the game. v0.91b Public - fixed a bug due to which quest 2 could start in the afternoon - fixed a bug preventing the completion of quest 65 for a female character in some cases. v0.91 Public - Two new quests. The first is the Christmas ball. The second takes place during the ball, and you will fail it if you can't manage to complete it before the ball is over. - New outfits for almost all characters. - New, more varied sprite for Ginny. So far we have only used it for the ball, but we will replace her old sprite in the rest of the game in the next versions. - Four backgrounds have been redesigned or redrawn to better match the holiday spirit. - Three new soundtracks. - We've fixed a lot of bugs from previous versions. v0.90 Alpha 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 change the date in the game, this can completely break it. The events of this update are very variable, and it is almost impossible that two playthroughs will lead to two identical balls. Even though we put in a lot of pre-alpha testing, we're pretty sure we couldn't find all the bugs. So, if you find any, or you just think that events in your game are developing illogically, then we ask you to tell us about it. What has already been done - Two new quests. The first is the Christmas ball. The second takes place during the ball, and will fail if you don't complete it before the ball is over. - New outfit for almost all characters. - New, more varied sprite for Ginny. So far we have only used it for the ball, but in the next versions we will replace her old sprite in the rest of the events too. - Three backgrounds have been redesigned to better match the holiday spirit. - Two new soundtracks. - Animations for 7 scenes out of 27 are ready. What we have to do before the public version - Catch and fix the remaining bugs. - Complete the remaining animations. - We have ordered another soundtrack, and we will add it to the game too. - We are waiting for one of our Patrons to do the final proofreading for the English localization. Many thanks to him for that! We will release beta and public versions as soon as they are ready. This largely depends on the activity of alpha testers. We will definitely finish the remaining animations in two weeks. So we think you can see the next releases in early November. v0.87a - 12.5k 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.

But some other actions you can do up to three times per daytime, for example, a conversation with an individual character, or taking a shower.

Now you can try them too. Firstly, the choice of "Praise" topic now ends the conversation, and ALWAYS adds one point of the relationship. You will not be able to select this option if you have already discussed other topics. This is done so that you can quickly develop a relationship if you do not want to choose a lot of topics. If you don't want this, then you can play as before, hoping to get up to 3 points of the relationship instead of a guaranteed one point. Secondly, we will limit the number of conversations during the daytime. You can talk only once in the morning on weekdays, after which the professor will require silence and begin the lesson. The same will be for the middle of the day, if you are in class. At other times, you can make three conversations, and after the third the next time will co me. So you can choose, speak twice and improve your skills, or speak three times. Thirdly, now there will be an option in some locations to support the conversation in the company. This can bring you points of relationship with everyone who is in the same location.
