Summer is in full effect here at the Envar Games office in Stockholm. The windows are open, the birds are singing, the Lotus Brew is being regularly applied, and we're excited to share another patch with you!
To those of you in a warm place, don't forget your Lotus Brew.
We also want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for supporting Witchspire. It's been an incredible start to our journey, and we're thrilled to have all of you with us. Thank you <3
Without further ado, here's the patch!

First of all - let's be clear, that's not a Familiar pun. Definitely not. We'd never.
A little while ago, we partnered up with the glorious folks at Natural Six to run a Witchspire-themed D&D one-shot adventure! The five new items added in today's update are inspired by the characters they created. If you've missed it, head on over and take a look. You're in for a five-hour adventure like none other.
It's now been just under a month since Witchspire came out, this marks the 9th Patch since then, and we're now starting to slow down the pace of updates a bit for a much needed summer break before shifting focus back to the major updates which we revealed in our Roadmap:
Before A Touch of Magic releases, we intend on shipping several highly requested Quality of Life improvements and fixes, such as:
Adding Sort buttons for Chests & Inventory
Adding a "Quick Deposit" feature for Chests
Improving Controller Support
Further Improving Inventory Management
Addressing Desync issues in Multiplayer
Addressing Quest issues
We continue to scan the forums and Discord for your feedback and suggestions. Even if we cannot answer everything, do know that all your input is super appreciated and helping us make Witchspire the best it can be.
We generally believe that larger more substantial updates are more impactful to the game than smaller ones, and as a relatively small team, shipping regular updates takes a large amount of time and focus. In other words, we expect to ship fewer small updates and shift toward larger ones going forward. This is likely our final update for July as we're in much need of a break after such a big launch!
With that said, we can't wait to get back to more Witchspire very soon.
