Demo Update 0.1.48
[ 2022-11-16 19:44:43 CET ] [ Original post ]
While we've mostly been focused on Year 2 and beyond, we got a lot of good feedback during the Steam Next Fest and wanted to post an update to the demo!
One of the biggest complaints I've had is that the battles are clunky, and this update attempts to fix that, along with a number of other quality of life changes and improvements!
Changelog:
- Improved battle UI - you can now memorize spells, and quick cast them without opening their spells list.
- Added glossary to encyclopedia, and made some words clickable to bring it up.
- Trial gives more info on each evidence (like date you got the evidence and a brief refresher). You can also bring up the evidence list at any time during a trial.
- Many edits and improvements to Year 1 - including more foreshadowing for future years.
- Added graphics for bars (like the health bar).
- Added particle effects.
- Added animations to using potions & items, and improved potion crafting animation.
- Added enchanting animation.
- Added icons to the inventory and crafting menus.
- Any ally can now be chosen to make potions - not just the party leader!
- Changed Options to Menu on the title page - as there are several things I wanted to put there (credits, community link, and later achievements).
- Added load option in game pause menu
- Minor improvements/stat changes.
- Added a small shake when changing pose.
- Removed animal guide and book from equipment. These were part of the original game to increase personality points, but we decided they were no longer needed.

Delve into the lives of four young witches as they learn magic, protect their families, try to stay on their brooms, and work hard to unravel the mysteries surrounding Stardander, the best school of magic in the world.
Your time at Stardander will be full of surprising discoveries, strategic battles against many fae creatures, late-night study sessions, and not a few delightful pranks at your least-favorite teacher’s expense. Breaking a few school rules is to be expected, but try not to get yourself into detention in the pitch-black (and probably haunted) dungeons!
For centuries, the human world has been under siege by a Fae army whose leader’s favorite weapon is insidious psychological warfare. In this perilous setting, humanity must rely on magic-users for protection. Can you and your friends become powerful enough to take on this most-feared enemy?
Long ago, humans summoned Fae creatures to this world and bound them to their will. But when pacts were broken, the power of the Fae turned upon humanity and brought chaos.
Only the aid and protection of a group of sympathetic Fae kept humans from being annihilated. These Fae became known as the Protectors, and founded the human-Fae Alliance. But one notoriously powerful and malicious Fae - Apexsens - has a deep grudge against humans and has not given up his quest to exterminate them, using any means necessary.
The safety of the Protectors cannot last forever - only through mastering their own magic do humans stand a chance. For nearly 300 years it has been Professor Dare's task - and atonement - to teach humans the very magic that once dominated and enslaved her.
After mysteriously vanishing for seven years, Professor Dare is now back to re-open Stardander, the best school for witches and the hope of all humanity.
Protagonists
- Callie is frilly, pampered, and thinks magic is for common folk. Why in the nine realms does she end up at Stardander?!
- Freya is the deathly prankster who might see ghosts, but is the sweetest of cinnamon buns.
- Rory is the overachiever who tries to do what is right but is overshadowed by a notorious family.
- Mira is the feisty Fae-touched fighter who doesn't quite understand how to be human (yet).
