Witchhammer | Dayshift Games

Things have been busy, but progress continues!
dash attacks now come with visual markers to make them easier to track.
This applies to the farmer, including both of its stronger variants.

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #unity

We're experimenting with a more reactive look for the UI
Cards now glow, flicker, and burn out once their effects end.
not final yet but we're getting there!

Thank you! There's a demo up on Steam already. still with the old cards but feel free to play.

Thanks! In Witchhammer, each tarot card resembles a spell, and you always hold three in hand during gameplay.
The old ones were sometimes hard to tell apart at a glance, especially mid-combat. So we're aiming for clearer silhouettes and more distinct poses to fix that.

We've used modified Raider-Waite cards in Witchhammer for a while, mostly to save time.
They've served us well, but readability's always been tricky.
So we're finally making our own, starting with the Suit of Wands.
more soon!

First idle animation for our new Caster is ready! The rest is in the works and will follow soon ✌🏻

Second spellcaster model is ready to be rigged and animated. I decided to add some arms and I think I will stick with them.

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #unity

Currently working on a new spell caster for Witchhammer.
Still undecided on whether he needs arms.. What do you think?

Hey #PitchYaGame

Witchhammer is a real-time deckbuilding roguelike, where you will face relentless hordes of enemies to overthrow the Inquisition and harness the magic of your tarot deck to shape your destiny and avenge your fate.

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

We just rolled out a new update to the Witchhammer demo on Steam.

You can now test the Frozen Lake map, summon the first two Mage skeletons (Cups and Wands), try out the full Pentacle suit, and zip around with The Chariot.

Enjoy playing!

Fantasy Basel is a wrap!
We witnessed more than 30 wins and at least 40 deaths across all difficulties and got a ton of helpful feedback. We're already working on new content to further shape Witchhammer into the experience we imagine it to be.
Thanks for playing, more soon!

Day two at Fantasy Basel is done!
Had the pleasure to witness some great rounds of Witchhammer and even more casualties.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, played (and died), and gave feedback.
Final day tomorrow, ready for more!

Witchhammer is loud, violent, and full of cursed magic.
Projected Dreams is… absolutely none of that.
It’s peaceful, smart, and out now!
Congrats to our friends at @flawberrystudio.bsky.social on launching the gentlest game imaginable.

Cup skeletons feel OP until they are turned into bowling pins..

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #unity

First testrun on Frozen Lake map and it's already shaping up to be our favorite map!
Still a few things to tweak BUT.. A new Demo is just around the corner. Stay tuned!

If you're there, come by, give it a try, and let us know what breaks.

Thank you! Well, it took a lot of trying to get something nice :D but this is my favorite map so far hehe

(Genre probably undead folk/ doom metal)

The lake is frozen, fires are lit, and the arena is ready.
Here's another glimpse at Frozen Lake before we jump into testing.

#indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #unity #indiegame

Working on the new snow map for Witchhammer. The layout is pretty much ready and we're getting closer to some test runs. Stay tuned!

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #unity

Reworked our snow shader so we can reuse materials across environments.
Now it's just one slider to go from regular to snow, instead of duplicating materials across scenes.

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #unity #roguelike

New environment in the making!
We're building another map for Witchhammer.
Frozen grounds, dark woods and more places to get yourself cornered..

#indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #indiegame #unity

More lightning effects! Working on a arc that locks onto targets. Still in progress, but getting there!

#indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #unity #indiegame

The Wand Skeletons are now fully functional!
Takes some care to keep them alive, but they’re finally doing what they were built for.
More soon!

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #deckbuilder

Working on some new lightning visuals.
Might become part of a card effect, or just a really angry trinket, who knows..
