Hello everyone!

Witch Hunter 0.27 is now available for $5+ patrons!

We also wanted to clarify something about the content in this version. Based on the cover, some players got the impression that this was a "MILF update" focused entirely on Susan. There is definitely a lot of new Susan content in this update, but it also includes content with almost every major character in the game. So if Susan specifically is not really your thing, there is still plenty of other content for you in this version.

Part of the issue is probably that we did not have much SFW content that we could use for the cover. We will pay more attention to this in the future and will most likely make additional release posts when new updates come out.

As usual, the next posts will focus on voting for content in version 0.27EX, so we recommend playing through version 0.27 before then. Before the voting starts, we will also launch a small poll to hear your overall impressions of this version.

! Important ! Saves from version 0.14 and newer will work with this build, except for version 0.15.1, which may have issues. Saves from older versions are not supported.

Please also remember that this is an early release. Even though we tested the update quite thoroughly, there may still be some bugs that we did not manage to find. Please report any bugs in our Discord server, through direct messages, in the comments, or by email.

Hey everyone!
 
It's time to wrap up the second vote for the 0.27 EXTRA content, and at the same time talk a little about the results of our recent survey and your reaction to the new format for future updates.
 
Let's start with the voting. In the second round, scene #1, "The Grumper Sisters," won by a large margin, receiving a total of 497 votes across all platforms. The fight for second place was much closer. In the end, scene #4, "Alchemy Under the Spell," took second place with 294 votes, beating scene #2, "Miranda at School," by just 8 votes. Miranda's scene received 286 votes.
 
So, the winners of the second poll are:
 
#1 The Grumper Sisters, 497 votes
#4 Alchemy Under the Spell, 294 votes
 
And since we now know the results of both polls, work on 0.27 EXTRA is already in full swing.
 
As for the version 0.27 survey, we carefully reviewed both the statistics and your comments. Overall, the results were quite positive, which we are of course very happy to see. Most of you responded positively to the update, its visuals, the new storylines, and some of the new gameplay mechanics. It was also very useful for us to see your opinions on the amount of dialogue, the translation, the distribution of content between characters, the mini-games, and individual story directions.
 
Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. Statistics like these really help us understand not only the loudest opinions in the comments, but also how the audience as a whole feels about different elements of the game. We will probably continue doing surveys like this in the future.
 
We would also like to clarify a few things regarding our recent announcement about changing the release format. Judging by the comments, this topic sparked quite a bit of discussion, so there are three important things worth pointing out:
 
1. The new format is still an experiment.
We have not announced a permanent switch to a two-part system. First, we want to see how it works in practice with Ep28. If the result turns out to be worse than the previous format, or simply does not provide the benefits we expect, we can return to the previous structure of major updates.
 
2. We would not have made this decision if we believed it could make development take even longer than before.
The main reason for this experiment is the exact opposite. We want new content to be released more frequently and consistently. Splitting an episode does not mean that we intend to simply increase the overall development time or artificially stretch one release into two.
 
3. In terms of size, Ep28 Part 1 will be closer to the updates we released several years ago.
As an example, you can think of the "Beach Episode" from version 0.21. At the same time, once Ep28 Part 2 is released, Ep28 as a whole, including the already released Part 1, will be comparable in overall size to our current major updates.
 
This is a new approach for our team as well, so we do not want to draw any final conclusions until we have seen how it works in practice ourselves.
 
So, the winners of the 0.27 EXTRA polls have been decided, work on the new content is already underway, and we will be able to tell you more about it in our upcoming posts. In the meantime, you can see the line art for one of the Ep28 scenes we have already prepared in the image attached to this post.
 
I think that's all for today. Thank you to everyone who voted, completed the survey, and shared your thoughts in the comments. Even when your opinions differ, they help us better understand what works well and what may need to be reconsidered.
 
Thank you all for your support, and have a great weekend!
 
 
 
Всем привет!
 
Пришло время подвести итоги второго голосования за EXTRA-контент версии 0.27, а заодно немного поговорить о результатах нашего недавнего опроса и вашей реакции на новый формат будущих обновлений.
 
Начнем с голосования. Во втором раунде победителем с большим отрывом стала сцена #1 "Сестры Грампер", которая набрала 497 голосов суммарно на всех площадках. За второе место борьба получилась намного плотнее. В итоге его заняла сцена #4 "Алхими под магией" с 294 голосами, всего на 8 голосов опередив сцену #2 "Миранда в школе", которая набрала 286 голосов.
Таким образом, победители второго голосования:
#1 Сестры Грампер, 497 голосов
#4 Алхими под магией, 294 голоса
И, поскольку результаты обоих голосований уже известны, работа над 0.27 EXTRA идет полным ходом.
 
Что касается опроса по версии 0.27, мы внимательно ознакомились как со статистикой, так и с вашими комментариями. В целом результаты оказались вполне положительными, чему мы, конечно, очень рады. Большинство из вас положительно оценили обновление, визуальную часть, новые сюжетные линии и некоторые из новых игровых механик. Также для нас было полезно увидеть ваше мнение о количестве диалогов, переводе, распределении контента между персонажами, мини-играх и отдельных сюжетных направлениях.
Спасибо всем, кто потратил время на прохождение опроса. Подобная статистика действительно помогает нам лучше понимать не только самые громкие мнения в комментариях, но и общее отношение аудитории к различным элементам игры. Пожалуй, мы будем и впредь проводить подобные опросы.
 
Отдельно хотелось бы внести небольшую ясность, касаемо нашего объявления об изменении формата релизов. Судя по комментариям, эта тема вызвала довольно много обсуждений, поэтому здесь стоит отметить три важных момента:
 
1. Новый формат пока является экспериментом. Мы не объявляли об окончательном переходе на систему из двух частей. Сначала мы хотим посмотреть, как она покажет себя на практике в рамках Ep28. Если результат окажется хуже прежнего формата или просто не даст тех преимуществ, на которые мы рассчитываем, мы сможем вернуться к прежней структуре крупных обновлений.
 
2. Мы бы не стали принимать это решение, если бы считали, что оно может еще сильнее увеличить сроки разработки. Главная причина эксперимента как раз заключается в обратном, мы хотим сделать выход контента более частым и регулярным. Разделение эпизода не означает, что мы собираемся просто увеличить общий срок разработки или искусственно растянуть один релиз на два.
 
3. По объему Ep28 Part 1 будет ближе к нашим обновлениям, которые выходили несколько лет назад. В качестве примера можно вспомнить "Пляжный эпизод" из версии 0.21. При этом Ep28 Part 2, (то есть завершенный Ep28 целиком с учетом уже выпущенного Part 1), по общему объему будет сопоставим с нашими нынешними крупными обновлениями.
 
Для нашей команды это тоже новый подход, поэтому сейчас мы не хотим делать окончательных выводов до того, как сами увидим результат на практике.
 
Что ж, победители голосований 0.27 EXTRA определены, работа над новым контентом уже идет, и в следующих постах мы сможем рассказать о ней подробнее. А пока, на прикрепленной к посту картинке вы можете увидеть лайнарт одной из сцен Ep28, которую мы уже подготовили.
 
Думаю, на сегодня это все. Спасибо всем, кто голосовал, проходил опрос и делился своим мнением в комментариях. Даже когда ваши мнения расходятся, они помогают нам лучше понимать, что работает хорошо, а что стоит пересмотреть.
 
Спасибо всем за поддержку и хороших вам выходных!

Hi everyone!

We've been a little late with this post because our team needed some extra time to think everything through and make a final decision.

The last two updates were released noticeably later than we had originally planned. After looking into the situation more carefully, we came to the conclusion that the scheduling problem is structural. It is not only about the various difficulties we occasionally run into, but also about the fact that the amount of content in our updates has grown significantly over the past few years.

If you compare the changelogs from two or three years ago with the ones we release now, the number of scenes and the overall amount of new content have almost doubled. Looking specifically at the content in the CG gallery, from version 0.20 through 0.27 we released roughly as much content as had been created during the entire previous development period, from version 0.1 through 0.20.

Hey everyone!

So, it's been a week since our last vote for the scenes that will be expanded in version 0.27EX.

In the first poll, scene #1, "Guardians in the Forest," won by a large margin, receiving a total of 337 votes across all platforms. It was followed by scene #5, "Miranda at the Register," with 225 votes.

Although scene #3, "Alchemy in the Locker Room," came in second on Patreon, it received only 214 votes when we combined the results from all platforms. Another factor may have been that we accidentally did not enable multiple-choice voting in the previous poll, even though we said that you would be able to vote for more than one option.

For now, let's move on to the second poll. The rules are the same as last time, except that this time you will definitely be able to vote for 2 of your favorite scenes, rather than just one.

To make it clearer which scenes we're talking about, here are their descriptions. Some of them are intentionally vague to avoid spoilers:

1. The Grumper Sisters. Expands the overall storyline involving the Grumper Sisters.

2. Miranda at School. Adds a storyline focused on Miranda's everyday school life.

3. Susan in the Park. Continues the storyline after Susan's mini-game, expands the overall plot, and also adds a full scene showing the consequences of losing.

Hello everyone!

So, it's been two weeks since the release of Witch Hunter 0.27. We hope most of you have already had a chance to play it, because right now we're starting the voting for the extra content!

As a reminder, here's how this format works: we take scenes from the most recently released version of the game, in this case 0.27, and let you choose your favorites. After that, we expand the winning scenes with new extra content, including new scenes and new dialogue, and release it as a separate version with the "EX" suffix.

There will be *2 polls in total, with 2 winners from each poll. That means we'll end up with 4 winning scenes, and each of them will be expanded with new content. So make sure to vote for 2 of your favorite scenes* in each poll.

To make it clearer which scenes we're talking about, here are their descriptions. Some of them are intentionally vague to avoid spoilers:

1. *Guardians in the Forest.* Adds two more characters to the storyline involving the search for the rebels in the forest. This means there will be scenes with several different characters.

2. *Sleeping Susan* (content available only if you didn't collect enough money at the fair). Expands the NTR content with Susan at the karaoke bar and adds several new scenes.

3. *Alchemy in the Locker Room.* Expands Alchemy's overall storyline at Sheffield School beyond the scene involving Uriah's Gang.

4. *Will with Toys.* Expands Will's storyline where she tries to deal with Cedric's lack of attention on her own.

5. *Miranda at the Register.* Expands the storyline where Miranda is learning how to work as a sales assistant at Rick's store.

6. *Evening Susan.* Expands the repeatable Susan content involving her evening outfit.

*Important:* this is the first of two polls. If the scenes you wanted to vote for are not included here, that simply means they will appear in the second poll.

As you may have noticed, we've also added a small content timeline at the top of the image. It's just there as a quick reminder of the structure of our upcoming posts. We decided not to combine the scene voting and the Google Forms survey into a single post, so the survey post will come later this week.

Hello everyone!

Witch Hunter 0.27 is finally here!

At the last moment, our team ran into some unexpected difficulties. To release the update before the end of the month, we had to cut one gameplay segment set in the Office. However, the main gameplay feature we were focusing on is still included in the game. We also had less time to test the final build, but there should not be any critical issues.

This update brings new locations and character outfits, major story branches with irreversible consequences for the characters, and some interesting side quests. As you can probably tell from the cover, the story focuses heavily on Susan, but there are also many smaller events involving the Guardians and the school. Overall, this update includes content with most of the key characters.

This update also includes all content from version 0.26EX. So if you missed it, we recommend starting from the beginning of the events in version 0.26, right after the shopping mall segment.

A quick reminder: if you want to unlock all the content in this update connected to the amount of money collected at the fair, select "Start" -> "Start from new content (0.27)" in the main menu. You will then be able to choose how much money you collected at the fair.

Hello everyone! With the release of the new update 0.27 coming soon, we are publishing the Changelog for you:

That's all, thank you for your attention and support!

Привет всем! В связи со скорым выходом нового обновления 0.27, публикуем для вас Changelog:

На это все, благодарю за внимание и поддержку!
