Sometimes there’s a lot of stuff going on in one week what can I say.
Witches of Ravenbrook Sponsorship Lottery
A very anonymous, very generous sponsor has decreed that there shall be a sponsorship lottery for the game! That’s right, you can make a lottery entry and maybe you’ll be the lucky one with a playable character or transformation!
It’s free to enter so why not roll the dice? You can find more information on the lottery here. You can find the sponsorship document here.
Other Ravenbrook News
We’re currently making lots of cool concepts for upcoming enemies, areas, and forms. I’ve been working on a new patch, there’s a couple bugfixes I want to do. However my main focus this week will be developing ways to reduce the game’s memory footprint by finding redundant bitmaps and removing them from the load chain. When that is ready I will release the next patch and incorporate that into WHI as well.
We’ll be posting concept art for WoR every month or so. Later this month maybe I’ll post some moon maidens!
Development News
I have been killing myself making the JP translation. The good news is that it’s almost ready and highly adaptable, and could even be ported to other games as the basic system is flexible and could be made by fans. I will be making the JP patch available and then update the mod code later this month depending on Holidays.
Internationally renowned artist TheChicMonster happens to really like money so she took up the job of helping out with talk sprites. Here we have Werebat Sanya. Hopefully this will, at long last, solve the talk sprite artist conundrum which has plagued RoP’s development and I can make this filthy, filthy game.
You should go watch the latest Cute Game Club because Chic forced me to play Webfishing with her for like 4 hours.
Fan Art!
Fan art of the restaurant waitress from WoR, and Christine and Sophie as wind-up toys both by Coco!
What if Sophie was a slime, by Hyena Princess. This is a bit too marketable, people are going to want Sophie Beanbag chairs. You ruined me!
This is apparently based on a Skylines thing? By May. Look I don’t play the game but I love the idea of making teeny tiny little pixel characters okay.
Finally some classic beauty! Serenity by PlainJane.

You know Pygmalie has killed fewer kids than Ms. Frizzle right? She killed Arnold, he’s dead. By Goopy.
