Character Reskins, Completed 0.24 Ex Scenes, and a Quick Poll
1747326719875.jpeg
Hello everyone!

Apologies for the delayed post this week — I unexpectedly got sick for a few days right at the start of the week. Fortunately, I’m feeling much better now and back to working at my usual pace.

Now, onto the updates.

As many of you have already guessed, we’ve been working on new outfits for the characters! This visual rework will include all of the Guardians (Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin), as well as Miranda. We've wanted to refresh their looks for a while to better reflect their character development within the story of our project — especially when compared to the original series.

You’ll be able to see these new outfits in version 0.25, and they’ll also tie into the plot progression. Interestingly, as one of our friends pointed out, this change coincidentally lines up with a common anime trope — characters changing outfits after 24 episodes. In our case, it's happening after 24 updates, which feels oddly fitting.

As for version 0.25 overall, we’ve finished coloring about half the scenes. Some are still in the sketching stage, and a few are being revised, but we’re making steady progress. We also have a few more updates we’d like to include in the game by the time 0.25 is released. However, if we’re short on time, we’ll move them to version 0.26 so we don’t delay the main release.

Now, regarding version 0.24 Ex — all of the scenes have been completed, and the script is almost fully written. We’re working hard to ensure this extended content doesn’t clash with the main storyline, which is particularly challenging in 0.24 due to the way gameplay depends on placing characters in different positions on the map. This limits our flexibility and makes content additions more complex. Creating Ex content for 0.25 should be much smoother in comparison — but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
For now, we’ve figured out a way to integrate the new content into 0.24 without causing story conflicts, and we’re actively working on it.

One last thing — many of you have asked whether it’s actually possible to raise all $100,000 during the fair. The answer is yes! Cedric even has a special line if you manage to pull it off. To do so, you'll need to perfect every gameplay segment (keep customer mood from dipping into the red) and position each character correctly on the map. That said, don’t worry too much about whether you get $90,000 or the full $100,000. The only real difference in future versions will be some extra scenes if you earn less than $90,000, all the way down to $60,000.

And speaking of the new Guardian outfits — we wanted to ask: would you like to get an early look at their updated designs, even just as lineart? We’ve put together a quick poll so you can decide whether you’d prefer a sneak peek now or to see the new looks for the first time directly in the game.


That’s all for now. Thanks as always for your support, and have a great day!

I got 90k at the end of the update. Do you think I can reach 100k?
I managed to get 100,000. I acted exactly as it says in the news: I did not let the waiting strip of the buyer turn red. But there is another trick. You will receive 100,000 at the end of the evening when you summarize the results of the fair by Cedric, and not in the mini-games themselves.

Do you have a photo of what position the girls should be in at the event?

Will’s Reskin, v0.25 Scenes, and the 0.24 Ex Script Update
1748013718917.png
Hey everyone!

Since the majority of you voted to see the reskin of the W.I.T.C.H. girls, the next five posts will be dedicated to showing and talking a bit about their updated outfits. Just a heads-up: these designs aren’t 100% final yet, but they’re pretty close—about 80–90% done.
We’re starting, of course, with Will Vandom. After everything she’s been through—and especially under Cedric’s influence—her personality has gone through some changes. Will has always had a bit of a tough character, but now that trait plays into her feelings toward Cedric and what she wants from him (a great example of this shift is the beach episode with Will and Susan). Since then, Will’s become a little more assertive—perhaps even blunt—when it comes to going after what she wants. This mix of boldness, vulnerability, and a very specific kind of emotional openness gave us a clear direction for her new outfit.
As you can see in the image, we’ve used her classic looks from the show and comics as the base, then reworked them to better fit the style and tone of our game. The result is a look that’s sporty, slightly revealing, and more modern—something that reflects both Will’s interests and her evolving personality. We’ve already locked in her final color palette, but you’ll have to wait until the game to see that—we’re not giving away all the surprises just yet.
Now for some other updates: we’ve finished the lineart for almost all the scenes in version 0.25 and even started coloring a few. Turns out, this update will include more scenes than we initially planned—around 28 in total. One of them will even be used for a new main menu cover image. In fact, we’re considering adding a feature in the future to let you switch between cover artworks, so everyone can pick their favorite.
As for version 0.24 Ex—good news there too. All the scenes for it are already complete, and the script should be ready by this or next week. We can confidently say that version 0.24 Ex will be released next month! There aren’t many scenes in this one (it’s an extra update for 0.24 after all), but the content we’ve got is definitely worth checking out.

That’s all the news for today—thank you all for your continued support! Next week, we’ll be showing off Irma’s new outfit.

It is wild to me that I have been following the artist for this for a while now (though their posts get drowned out) and I guess i never made the connection they were working on a game like this.

Not fully sure what I'm in for here but I am definitely giving this a look

Irma Reskin, Version 0.25 Progress, and a Little Off-Topic Content
1748622122498.png
Hi everyone!

Another week has flown by, and as promised we’re here to talk about Irma Lair’s reskin. You can see a first draft of her new outfit in the image above.
Our goal with this look was to reflect her personality more accurately. The original design—canon though it is—always felt too restrained. Irma isn’t a rebel like Will, but she does have a bold, mischievous streak. She even manages to stay feminine while wearing boyish clothes. We leaned into that contrast, making the outfit slightly edgier and more revealing. Cedrick influenced that choice, and you’ll get the full story in version 0.25.
Development on update 0.25 is steady: roughly 75 % of the visuals are finished. While the art team wraps those up, we’re also shaping the structure for update 0.24 Ex. The new content is already mapped out, and we know how to weave it into the 0.24 story without contradicting the main plot.
By the time 0.24 Ex launches, the art for 0.25 should be done, leaving just coding and testing. You’ll have the expanded 0.24 content to enjoy while we finish that. If this staggered schedule suits everyone, we may stick with it.
One last thing: in my downtime—when the scenes are drawn and colored and I’m waiting on the writer and coder—I sometimes sketch random pieces or even mini-comics that aren’t tied to Witch Hunter. Would you like to see that extra content outside the regular weekly updates? Let me know in the comments.

That’s it for today! I’d love to read your thoughts on the Will and Irma reskins, even though they’re not quite finished yet. Thanks for all your support, and have a great day!
