    I wish they would be more transparent with the information on the progress of the game. Im happy for they to take as long as they feel the need to with the development of the game. It would just be nice to be kept in the loop.

      I have a feeling they dont' want to spoil stuff? But a 'dw we're still working on it just be patient' we'd be good probably hahha

      @@phoenixastra4429 Mhmm i don't exactly need a line by line chart of what they are working on for every step or any thing they might consider a spoiler. Just something to let us know how progress is going. A post every now and then or a update to the web page would be fine.

    I get they are a no crunch studio. I respect that. But I believe we have crossed from no crunch to no work. We have gotten a few updates on this game, no game play and 5-10 stills of Pixel art. I honestly dont think this game is coming out. Its been 8 years since it was announced. They had to scrap the original engine and start all over. At this point, George R.R. Martin will Finish Winds of Winder before Chuckle Fish finished Witchbrook.

      Tbh I don’t think it’s the no-crunch policy - it’s just bad management. It’s insane how they had one dev working on the majority of the game in rust, but once he left the company, they somehow couldn’t find a single dev to keep working on the game using rust, so they scrapped the entire thing and recreated it using their in-house engine mid development. Even if they were crunching, it wouldn’t have fixed that major management issue of using a fairly niche programming language while being dependent on a _single_ guy for the entire game.

    I wish they’d give more info. Even if it’s not something big, they had that website/newsletter that was meant to give updates but it just hasn’t been used. The games been in development more almost a decade, it only got a steam page like a year ago and we have basically no thing since.

      Right? Just a little "still working on this" or maybe a new screenshot or anything once every other month would be nice, just to know things are still moving along.

    Chuckle fish has no hand in the development of stardew or haunted chocolatier. They worked with concerned ape for the original console port of stardew, but that’s it. They don’t do that anymore though

      I actually did further research regarding Chucklefish and ConcernedApe’s relationship after posting this video. It was really fascinating and also disappointing to read how Chucklefish treated their employees during the development of Starbound ☹️ I think that because of that controversy, they did damage control with posting about how they don’t want to overwork their employees and promote a stress-free work environment during the development of WitchBrook.. :/

    Thank you for the investigation video, WitchBrook does look very interesting. Chucklefish helped Stardew in the early days but Stardew left them completely I think over five years ago at this point. So there's no chance anything Stardew could be affecting WitchBrook development.

    They should give us updates the same way Project Zomboid devs do.

    Concerned ape kicked chucklefish out, how did you miss that mini drama lmfao. They have nothing to do with either of the games anymore, not stardew or chocolatiere

    You can't make this shit up. As soon as I fell in love with Vampire The Masquerade, they delayed the 2nd VTM Bloodlines game like a million times. And now when I find out about the perfect cozy game, it seems like it never comes out 💀 the universe hates me omg

      I’m so sorry for the double whammy on games you were looking forward to 😭 WitchBrook is the first game that I’ve ever been emotionally invested in and have experienced this disappointment 🫠😂 May the Cozy Game Gods bless us with releases in the future ✨

    by time the game comes out, the hype is already dead. Also if you want a loyal fanbase, probably best to keep us in the loop. and finally once the game comes out people are going to critique this game so hard for the simple fact its been almost 10 years since they originally announced the game.

      Thank you so much for your sweet comment 🥹💜 I just wish they’d communicate too! It seriously BLOWS my mind that they have Witchbrook posted on their website and in Twitter bios - but literally no word on any updates 😭

    Its clear they announced this game wayyy too early. Not only that but im sure there was some kind of issue that happened. leading to this development hell.
    Either way ive been waiting for this game i swear since before covid. I remember seeing an early gameplay footage of hogwarts legacy back in 2016-2017 but that was okay because the studio didnt annouce the game was coming it was only concept nobody even knew what it was, this game was announced several times but it's neber anything new.

      It's 8 years ago. They announced it 8 years ago, and didn't want to cancel just to keep investors money flowing and to keep the hype. It's dishonest.

    Chucklefish has been historically very bad at releasing stuff on time, as well as being historically very bad at updating the fans of their games on development progress :(

    UPDATE: It got cancelled. They can't finish the game after reworked the game engine (for the second time), investors many dried up and several staffs also resigned.
