Stardander School for Witches

Update 0.1.27 - Polishing Year 1
This update adds a lot of art (almost all the placeholders are gone), and adds various effects and improvements to the first year.


  • Added Volcanewt, Razorbeak, Bastion Claw and Shadow Fox animations
  • Added Greenhouse and Dorms backgrounds
  • Added a navigation-style movement between scenes for some events (and an option to disable this).
  • Added many new choices
  • Added farspeak and description for Volcanewt. Shadow fox is still missing farspeak.
  • Personality points are now 10x what they were before so they can be incremented in smaller amounts for choices
  • Added sound effects and screen effects (flash/shake)
  • Added a short "tutorial" event every time you learn a spell
  • Added additional help/tutorial stuff
  • Added a strike system for the trial - run out of strikes, and you will no longer be able to object!
  • Added random background characters to some scenes
  • Added controls option
  • Improved preloader (it now doesn't go back and forth a ton like it did before).
  • Callie's hat ribbon now changes hue based on house chosen


Our plan is to release a near final year 1 demo for the Steam Fall Festival, so we've been polishing year 1 with the feedback we've gotten! Definitely give us more feedback in the steam community or our discord! We've also made progress on year 2, although we aren't far enough along to share that yet.

Look forward to our future updates!

Update 0.1.19
This is a pretty big update, with a lot of new changes - I'd recommend starting a new save, although old saves should still work.

Here's a full list of changes:


  • Modified the beginning of the game - with new characters and stakes
  • Changed navigation to let you walk around on the map (instead of room by room)
  • Added Armapod, Nubgruff and Scorpion Drake animations - more are coming
  • Added Devin and Virida for the new intro
  • Updated Callie, Freya, Rory and Penelope's sprites, and also tweaked Hilda
  • Added Sanctum and Renar Outskirts backgrounds
  • Improved skipping (like renpy - it remembers what text you've seen before and stops at choices)
  • In the trial, you now get a second chance if you choose the wrong evidence or suspect
  • Added choice descriptions to major choices
  • Study harder lets you take 2 classes instead of 3
  • Can take 3-4 exams per semester (instead of 2-3)
  • Moved description dialogue box to bottom of screen on most scenes.
  • Can transfer familiars or release from any party member
  • Rory does not start with any familiars - you need to pact a fae lantern if you want to transfer one to callie
  • Tommia can teach you how to use redcrawler berries to create light if you know cultivation
  • Success/Fail checks are now added to history


Let us know what you think, and if you have more suggestions/ideas. For now, we're moving on to adding year 2!
