Witchfire GGU Patch Notes New Feature: Gnosis Redesigned Feature: Calamities New Feature: The Collector New Feature: Mirages There is a total of four new tiny areas sealed away […]


What's the Best Time to Release a Game or Big Update?

The first big Witchfire update, codenamed GGU, should be ready soon but will be released on April 4th. (Knocking on wood, spitting, throwing salt) Why? Why not release it as soon as it’s ready? Let me use this question as an opportunity to talk about release dates and the myths surrounding them. How important is […]


Seven New Things Coming Soon to Witchfire

The last thing we said about the GGU — Witchfire’s first big update — was: We are now targeting February, possibly March. I mean, let’s be honest, it’s going to be March rather than February, but it looks like that’s it. Still, despite setting the month, even our biggest fans are beginning to be impatient: […]

So that’s our responsibility, and we owe you an explanation. I believe our reason is more intriguing than the usual […]


Witchfire Design: Deep Dive into the Calamity

Heh, I probably should not be writing this post. You’re not here by accident, so most likely you know we are a small team who made Witchfire (now in Early Access). A small team means each day of work matters a lot. One of my jobs – apart from management, finances, business, marketing, outsourcing and […]

It sound hysterical today but in 2013, GIFs were all the rage. Yes, I mean short videos. But at the time, they were real animated GIFs. Not MP4s pretending to be them. We had no money to market our first game, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. But we knew we had something better: phenomenally looking […]
