Dear Supporters

This video will either go down in software history, or fizzle out like a damp squib ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏBut either way I'm so excited to show you what I found and recreated. Welcome to Witchwood!

Your friend in retro, Perifractic

Update Sun 28-Jul-2019: Well it didn't fizzle out like a damp squib after all (whatever that is)! I thought you might like a little sneak peek behind the scenes at what happens when a video starts to trend. It's currently #1 of my last 10 videos, by view count after 24 hours, with 300 people watching at any given time. Witchwoohoo!

Thatโ€™s quite the treasure trove youโ€™ve found. Thanks for preserving it. Ewen

No one knows what a damp squib is in this country, Peri. I still love u.

David Cherriman

Very cool... its Zelda and Fable3 into one.. it's amazing.. I wonder what other companies might have out there #hiddengems

Paul Jacobson

So we have the sprites and the intro and the scripts. Surely this could be recreated :) great work on preserving all of this.

Chris I'm really enjoying watching your channel go from strength to strength. This is due to (I believe) in no small part because of your friendly and fun approach to all things retro whilst maintaining the level of research and detail that the more experienced retro enthusiasts are after too. I would love to see Witchwood turn into a real game. In the current climate of new 8 / 16 bit looking games that are doing very well, this would be a superb addition to that!

Thanks a million sir. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•น๏ธ I literally would not be doing this now without you and your patron colleagues though. And who knows, I'm awaiting Team17's response to the video. Their community guy is great and a huge fan of the company... though naturally as you go further towards the top they're just too busy to quite see the apparent appeal in something like this. That said, they did ask if they could use my HD Worms cutscenes "if" they do an anniversary release... Maybe they'll have Worms!
