Hello friends, happy spooky time! On this, the spookiest of days, I come to you with a WitchHand demo update! Let's get right into it.
Burn Burn Burn
The hands-off approach to setting your enemies on fire. Fireballs are a bit pricey to cast but keep your familiars out of harms way. The fireball spell will become available to learn once you've learned the Sorcerer's School spell.
Familiar Tracker
I kept losing track of my apprentice familiar, so I made a tracker to do it for me! The familiar tracker automatically displays an icon for each of your little buddies, even letting you know if they're currently crafting or are in battle! You also get a bit more info by selecting their icon. And the best part is that when you can click their icon, your camera will move to their location! Never lose a familiar again with the official WitchHand Familiar Tracker™.
Village Collapsing
Like cards but want to see less of them? Double-click on any village to collapse their slots! It's fun! Collapsed cards remain fully functional, they just get smaller and cuter.
Spellbook Grid View
This was a highly requested one! You'll now be able to toggle the spellbook between list and grid views.
Production Toggle
Have too many mana extractors chewing through your crystals? Click the toggle and power them off until you need them!
Bigger Chests
There's larger chests later in the full game but I figured why not increase storage size across the board? Storage Chests can now store up to 60 cards! (Might only take effect on new saves!)
