Witches and Butchers Final demo release!?


Hi folks! 
An update was already published last month, but there wasn't a devlog like the previous updates had... Let's fix that! (Andres wrote one for Kickstarter, funnily enough)


Coloured UI!

 




Revamped UI! From the simple hues of the main menu, to the graphical cooking & inventory UI. Hello Color!


Update Attacks!

  

Enhanced dynamics in player attacks! Each character now has a more defined niche that they can tackle from front or back, which goes with the...
Dynamic & aggressive enemy rework! This was done to get around GB Studio's limitation around local variables, and fixing some visual bugs that were present in the older code. Do tell us if they end up being too challenging!... or spaz out and stop functioning, that's bad too. oof.


Cooking time? Cooking time.


The cooking UI has gotten a massive rework, telling you how much ingredients a particular dish may need, which is now represented by icons instead of plain text. Pozole never looked so good...


Exploration incentives? Don't mind if we do!


Exploration is rewarded with a good ol' treasure chest system! Each piece of loot makes the arduous journey that much easier.


Wow, a shopping list!


Grocery trips are made easy with an overview of your ingredients within the cooking screen, while store interactions now also tell how much of something you already have. 

(not in demo) Continential postcards! 


No matter your transport - witchcraft or walking, the full journey will have even more regions to traverse through. Be greeted by scenic graphics as you enter a new area, not too unlike a certain Stealy Wheely Automobiley installment set in the late 80s!


And so much other stuff that can't be told with pictures, including: 

  • A new boss! 
  • Fixed collisions! No more getting half-stuck in geometry.
  • Platformer sections have been refactored to be less nauseating compared to last year's build!
  • Cheats!? (No, it's not the Konami code... but where could it be!?) 
  • Secret areas just off the beaten path.
    Even if you've tried the free demo before, we invite you to play through it again. It's just that much better!

As we work toward the final version, we'd like to thank everyone who have supported the project one way or another, publically or in private. You know who you are!!
Ending this devlog, we hope you've been well :)
