Det var länge sedan vi fick livstecken från Witchbrook, vilket är Stardew Valley-utgivaren Chucklefish nästkommande spel. De har tidigare sagt att de vill kombinera gameplay-element från Stardew Valley med vardagen på en magiskola såsom Hogwarts.
Under Gamescom fick vi tyvärr ingen ny trailer, men istället fick vi kolla in deras interna designdokument som berättar hur Chucklefish ser på sitt spel:
"Witchbrook takes place within a simulated school environment, where students and teachers will go about their daily routines, within a day/night cycle and calendar. The school provides the backdrop for a range of player activities, including distractions (fishing, herb gardening, etc), Quests (school work), Side Quests (social activities) and Dating. Each of these activities will feed into one another and build towards a successful school life. The player's ultimate goal is to graduate from the school and earn their Witching permit. To achieve this they must complete a number of Main Quests, supplied by Professors, to unlock new magic and eventually pass a certification exam.
The experience of playing Witchbrook is intended to be both relaxing and rewarding, providing the player with enjoyable, mindful activities whilst ensuring a sense of progression. Players should feel attached to the various characters they meet at school and to the progression as a student."
Vi misstänker att det fortfarande är ganska lång tid kvar tills det släpps, men visst låter det väl lovande?
