Witches of Ravenbrook Update and Development!

Kitsune quest is DONE. Took forever, it’s done. I am now going to be working on balance, and have contracted my Balance Guy (oh dear god) to put numbers on things. I’ll be making skills and enemies and stuff for the next little while, might break things up with some of the minor quests like GAMBLING or the kitsune trials of cunning.

Yep, db_palette has done it again. You can find the new gummies on the south beach. I want to make an actual campaign for the PaletteForms mod, at this point there’s so much that it could actually carry a (short) game of its own. My to-do list is long, though, so maybe later.

Download it! (Mega.nz / Mediafire) or find it in our public folders.

Here’s our roadmap for the remainder of 2025. Inky has made a big dent on the sponsor concept work, in fact producing several final pieces. She also wants to prioritize the sticker/wallpaper rewards so they’re ready for Halloween. For those of you who are backers of the high tiers, we’ll be contacting you later in the year once a few other things are done. Keep in mind this is the roadmap, we’re working to get these things ready.

As for me, I’m making good progress on the RoP chapter 2 update. After that, an engine tune-up since there have been some odd texture problems reported. There’s also a very small puzzle game prototype I want to do this year and then it’s time for WoR’s tool work. I need to get 3D level editors ready and make a bunch of updates Inky wants for the new UI of the game.

So first, Inky intends to make a few changes to the designs. First, the Witch Queen has some tails and more eyes. Here she is showing off her ankles. Scandalous!

Dahlia is also getting a new design, obscured here with a pixellation filter because IT’S A SECRET. You can see that the colours are darker here, which will be reflected in the level design as well.

Sable! One of the sponsor characters, Sable is Alia’s band manager. She survived the mess at the carnival and made her way to the neutral area in the university hub. How? The skills a good band manager picks up over the years: Getting the hell out of there when things start to go bad.

Sable keeps track of rumours and potential missions for you, helping you find quests and digging up dirt on the other characters in the pactrealms.

Elly! Another sponsor character. She happened to be wearing a bee costume at the carnival and you’ll be able to meet her. When the witches attacked… well, Honeybunns and her minions thought she was one of them. She’s going to need your help to get out of this alive and human.

Pudicitia is a succubus, but she’s not out to steal your lust. Well, sort of. She’s willing to give you some buffs and special items, in exchange for applying Influence or even applying curses to your teammates. Is she an ally? She has her own goals. Stay on her good side.

The Living Sextoy! Another sponsor teaser, this is an enemy you’ll encounter and it’s a full transformation. You can probably guess it’ll be in the Lust realm, and hoo boy is it a fun one. You’ll lose access to most non-healing magic spells when transformed, but get a fairly big bonus to… healing… spells. Yeah, healing. Look it makes their HP go up!

Lastly, we have Trine. Why is he a magic bunny and a doll maid? Trine gets around, he’s looking for a way to escape, just like you are. Unfortunately, unlike your party, he’s… not very good at fighting or sneaking. You’ll have to bail him out more than a few times, but he’s always very grateful.

Now Inky has also been working on getting some of the other characters caught up. So here’s Clover as a waitress!

I have a lot of discretion here so I decided on what I was going to pick to show off.

I hope you think I chose right. It’s nice to see Penny actually happy with a status effect isn’t it.

That’s it for this month. Next month’s update depends on what Inky and the artists get done. Keep in mind she’s still working and we haven’t hired the new artists on yet (currently looking at some portfolios). Very excited!

      1. Thank you.
        I have one more question. Is it correct to overwrite the folder containing the WoR prototype data downloaded from ichi.io with the file downloaded here?
        I did this, but not a single element of the game was added. Of course, I tried both launching the mod and launching it normally.

        1. Witches of Ravenbrook and Witch Hunter Izana are different games. The WoR prototype has nothing to do with the paletteforms mod.

  1. Oh, I’m sorry! It was the WHI patch…
    I had the wrong idea. Thank you for your answer!

    I’ll continue to support you.
