Happy New Year 2024, Wandmakers!
As the mushrooms slowly wake up from their hibernation, I want to share a few updates with you.
To kick off 2024, I have some news—maybe not the best, but certainly not the worst. In a nutshell, we've 'almost' run out of cash to keep the game's development going. However, don't fret; development isn't stopping, just slowing down.
We've been considering a Kickstarter campaign since months ago, but that won't kick off until at least March or April. I'll keep you in the loop as we prepare for this exciting step. And hey, if you're a publisher interested in the game, I'd LOVE to have a chat so please reach out at [email protected].
Demo Departure
The public demo of Wonder Wandelier will be taken down on Sunday, Jan 7 at 4 pm UTC. We've received a ton of invaluable feedback from you, and now it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
We'll still be on the lookout for testers in the future, so if you're interested, hop on our Discord, as that's where we'll be spreading the news.
What's Next?
For the next few months, we're shifting gears to focus on enhancing the game's visuals. While the core mechanics are pretty much ready, we believe it's time for Wonder Wandelier to get a visual glow-up. And this isn't just for aesthetics; it's also a strategic move to elevate our marketing.
Wonder Wandelier will also be included in the Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest from Jan 8 - 15. Join us for an exclusive gameplay video with dev commentary premiering during the fest!
Also, I can't spill the tea yet, but we're cooking up some side projects to keep the funds flowing. One of it is a tiny cozy game about a very loooong boy, set to launch very soon. Please look forward to it!

A massive shoutout to all of you who've wishlisted Wonder Wandelier! Your belief in this project means the world to us. Updates might slow down a bit, but they're coming your way.
Stay wonderful, Wandmakers!
