It features four types of weapons, two 'light' and four 'powerful' spells, six types of enemies (including a boss), and three combat zones. The developers also revamped the interface, but plan to continue working on it, so it may look different in the final version. Additionally, the mini-map may disappear.<\/a><\/noindex>, shared that creating the second demo took longer than expected.

In the new demo, everything is arranged more complicated. The authors compare its gameplay to a puzzle. From the shore, the player enters a cursed village, where they are ambushed by musketeers, knights, and other witch's minions hiding in various locations. The boss of this area is the Bishop. He unleashes waves of demons on the player, attempting to protect the witch. If the gamer fails to defeat him, he will retreat to a hideout, where the final battle will occur. At this point, the demo ends \u2014 the subsequent zones are not yet ready.<\/p>\n

The new demo is more complex. The authors compare its gameplay to a puzzle. From the shore, the player enters a cursed village, where hidden musketeers, knights, and other witch's minions attack. The boss of this location \u2014 the Bishop. He sends waves of demons to the player, attempting to protect the witch. If the player cannot defeat him, he, wounded, will retreat to a hideout where the final battle will take place. At this point, the demo ends \u2014 the next zones are not yet ready.<\/p>\n

Developers complete the second demo in 15 minutes. According to Khmeliaz, an average user may take several hours, while a quick walkthrough will take between 6 to 10 minutes. The level is linear, but he promises that the structure will be more complex in the final game.<\/p>\n

Overall, the creators are satisfied with how the second demo turned out. During its development, they understood how to structure the entire game and discovered nuances regarding weapons, spells, talismans, and attributes. However, some elements do not yet function as the developers would like. This includes the notification system for enemies approaching outside the player's field of vision (for example, if they are behind the player). Such features are rare in games, notes Khmelyaz, which led to challenges. The gameplay proved to be \"engaging and hardcore,\" \"unlike anything else,\" but the balance, AI, and enemy spawn system need further refinement.<\/p>\n

The developers plan to create a third demo, but players are unlikely to see it either. The leader describes such demos not as goals but as \"by-products\" of development, which help them determine the direction of their work and test various systems.<\/p>\n

The events of Witchfire take place in a fantastical world reminiscent of the late 19th century. The authors emphasize that it is not steampunk, classifying the game as \"Victorian fantasy\" (gaslamp fantasy). The shooter is partly inspired by the Souls series, with the designer Khmel'az explaining how it is both similar to and different from those games in terms of game design. two<\/a><\/noindex> articles<\/a><\/noindex>) and the Destiny duology (from Bungie, they borrowed<\/a><\/noindex> According to reports, it will indeed be hardcore: friends of the developers who tried the demo admitted that playing is \"very difficult.\" Witchfire emphasizes action and skill progression\u2014there will be no elaborate story or CGI cutscenes.<\/p>\n

Witchfire is being developed by nine people. At the end of last year, the team consisted of eight specialists, and even then, Khmeliaz noted that they did not plan to expand it. Currently, Witchfire is only announced for PC.<\/p>\n
