Yooo We Got Trading Cards!

Steam approved WitchHand for community items! :wh_cat:

I'm excited to see my art in those official Steam card frames. I don't know. It just feels really good.

What's Next for WitchHand?

Good question! A lot of things are still up in the air as I balance continued WitchHand support with other ongoing projects. I don't want to make any grand promises on what I wish or hope to do for this game. That said, the game will be getting, at the very least, one (1) new witch. Stay tuned.

Patch Notes (additional)

  • swords, shields, flame cake, armored smoothie now have better tooltips when being used - fixed source cards able to craft on top of enemies - fixed explore tooltips not showing the correct explore contents - fixed collapsed village outline collision not factoring for the radiant beacon max seven slots

Closing Thoughts

Thank you. I've made three games now and this one is far and away my most successful* game (in terms of sales and reception). Thank you for making that happen. I appreciate all of you.
