Things have been busy, but progress continues!
dash attacks now come with visual markers to make them easier to track.
This applies to the farmer, including both of its stronger variants.

We're experimenting with a more reactive look for the UI
Cards now glow, flicker, and burn out once their effects end.
not final yet but we're getting there!

We've used modified Raider-Waite cards in Witchhammer for a while, mostly to save time.
They've served us well, but readability's always been tricky.
So we're finally making our own, starting with the Suit of Wands.
more soon!

Second spellcaster model is ready to be rigged and animated. I decided to add some arms and I think I will stick with them.

Currently working on a new spell caster for Witchhammer.
Still undecided on whether he needs arms.. What do you think?

Hey #PitchYaGame

Witchhammer is a real-time deckbuilding roguelike, where you will face relentless hordes of enemies to overthrow the Inquisition and harness the magic of your tarot deck to shape your destiny and avenge your fate.

We just rolled out a new update to the Witchhammer demo on Steam.

You can now test the Frozen Lake map, summon the first two Mage skeletons (Cups and Wands), try out the full Pentacle suit, and zip around with The Chariot.

Enjoy playing!

Fantasy Basel is a wrap!
We witnessed more than 30 wins and at least 40 deaths across all difficulties and got a ton of helpful feedback. We're already working on new content to further shape Witchhammer into the experience we imagine it to be.
Thanks for playing, more soon!

Day two at Fantasy Basel is done!
Had the pleasure to witness some great rounds of Witchhammer and even more casualties.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, played (and died), and gave feedback.
Final day tomorrow, ready for more!

If you're there, come by, give it a try, and let us know what breaks.

The lake is frozen, fires are lit, and the arena is ready.
Here's another glimpse at Frozen Lake before we jump into testing.

Working on the new snow map for Witchhammer. The layout is pretty much ready and we're getting closer to some test runs. Stay tuned!

Reworked our snow shader so we can reuse materials across environments.
Now it's just one slider to go from regular to snow, instead of duplicating materials across scenes.

New environment in the making!
We're building another map for Witchhammer.
Frozen grounds, dark woods and more places to get yourself cornered..

The Wand Skeletons are now fully functional!
Takes some care to keep them alive, but they’re finally doing what they were built for.
More soon!

Working on some new lightning visuals.
Might become part of a card effect, or just a really angry trinket, who knows..
