Welcome to Patch 1.4.0, featuring Match Rules +, one of our biggest additions since 1.0! We're also excited to announce the wardrobe, a new utility that allows players to switch up their skills and sets mid-round. And as always, we've packed in a bunch of changes and additions - read on! 🎉



Introducing Match Rules +, a brand new way to modify your custom matches! Change a huge array of different parameters to design a unique match like no other. You can even save and load your favourite configurations for future use! ✨

To access Match Rules +, simply start a custom match through the main menu and select the "Match Rules +" option at the bottom of the screen. From there, you can adjust a range of variables across three tabs: General, Skills, and Game Modifiers. See below for a brief overview of each tab.





On the first tab, you can change the fundamental parameters of your match, such as gravity, movement speed, jump height, player size, and more. 🔧

Move each slider according to your preferences, or enter a specific value in the boxes to the right of each slider. In case you wish to undo a change, click the ↺ button beside each parameter, or select the "reset all to default" button to revert all alterations you've made.


✔️ Become a colossal Hunter using the player size multiplier!


✔️ Lower the gravity and cause chaos!



On the second tab, you can modify specific skill parameters, as well as the Hunter's melee and projectiles. Here, you can alter the damage, velocity, radius, mana cost and much more for each individual skill, as well as disable skills you don't want players in your match to use. 🥔


✔️ Buff the mushroom split amount, but reduce the confusion time!


✔️ Increase the Hunter's projectile amount, speed and spread, but lower the damage!



On the third tab, you can find our "game modifiers" - these are special modifiers that drastically change the gameplay of your match! Patch 1.4.0 comes with three game modifiers:

🔹 Move It
All witches have to move to survive.



🔹 Dissolving Props
Props will start disappearing over time.



🔹 Prop Retaliation
Hitting non-Witch props will deal damage to Hunters.



To enable a game modifier, click on the corresponding modifier you wish to use and toggle the "Is enabled" parameter. Each modifier also has a few changeable parameters you can experiment with! 🧪



In the bottom right of the Match Rules + configuration, there is a button labelled "Save/Load Match Rules +". Once clicked, it will take you to a new screen where you can name and save your Match Rules + configuration. You can revisit this area anytime to overwrite your saved Match Rules +, or load a previous one you've created! 💾



When starting a custom match, hosts can now find a new toggle on the page named "Tweakable Match Rules +". Enabling this toggle allows the host to modify parameters in real-time by accessing the in-game menu during a round and clicking the "Match Rules +" button, as shown below:



For players wanting to try Match Rules +, we highly recommend enabling this option and experimenting with the different modifiers and parameters! Changes you make will take effect immediately, without requiring a server restart. So, feel free to get creative and see what kind of unique gameplay experiences you can come up with! 🧰


✔️ Tweak the rules while playing to find the perfect combination, then save your changes!

You can now swap your skills and custom sets during a match using the new 'wardrobe', found in the Hunter spawn of all Official and Featured Maps! A quick switch of your skill selection and appearance during play gives you the flexibility to adapt to any situation. And for our map creators: the wardrobe will be added to Creative Mode in a future update! 👖



The maximum search time in custom matches has been increased from 10 to 20 minutes, for those wanting to play extra long rounds with less pressure of running out of time! ⏰



Props that emit fire or smoke are now extinguished when they touch water! 🌊



In addition, we've added a temporary Classic Prop Hunt mode on multiple servers to demonstrate the potential of Match Rules +. This mode features no skills for both teams and Hunters are damaged when they attack non-Witch props, but can scan props using melee as much as they want. Give it a try and let us know what you think! 🎮

We'd love to see what wild ideas you come up with Match Rules +, so please share your screenshots and videos with us over on our Steam Hub or our Discord server! 💜

Patch 1.3.6 is here, and we're finally ready to reveal our Faraway Lands | Official Map Contest 2022 winners... as well as introducing 7 new structures, skill effects, a long-awaited recipe, and more!


A few months back, we ran our 3rd ever map creation contest, named "Faraway Lands". Participants were tasked with creating a small-scale map suitable for 4-8 players, with just over a month to prepare their entries... ⌛

This time around, rather than providing a set visual theme, participants were able to let their creativity run wild and build as they like, as long as it was suitable for 4-8 players. With minimal reference to inspire this size of map, this was arguably our most difficult map contest yet. We discovered that each map creator had a vastly different approach to the player restriction; from the actual map size, to the prop density, or even utilising game mechanics like jump pads to help players traverse large sections. For clarification, the recommended player count for all winning Faraway Lands maps has been adjusted to 4-10 players in the map selection and voting screens - a little larger than we initially expected, but we hope this clears things up.

Each winner will shortly receive a Witch It Steam key, 10x Crystallized Moonlight, their name added to the description of a Creative Mode structure (the new "metal wall"), and the fabled "Grand Architect" title within our community!

We decided the winners based on a range of different factors, such as aesthetics and functionality, but map size was at the forefront of this choice. All maps were played with a lobby containing 8 judges (all from Barrel Roll Games), and our decision was made without bias towards any one creator or team. However, to prevent creators taking multiple winning spots in future contests, we are considering changing our rules for the near future. So if you didn't win this time around, don't feel disheartened - we'd love to have you back! 🎉

All winning maps are now available to play in any Hide & Seek, Mobification, or Hunt a Hag Official server, or by pressing on the "Featured Maps" tab when setting up a custom match. ✔️

Created by Farbenkeks
“Ancient magic lingers in Singing Sanctuary and keeps the place evergreen.”

Following Precious Palaces, Farbenkeks took home a well-deserved win with Vermilion Valley, cementing themselves in the community as one of it's most talented map builders. While Singing Sanctuary is thematically far different to their previous entry, Farbenkeks' close attention to detail and imaginative use of structures returns once again in its full glory. Congratulations!



Created by NotSure & CDJS
“After a fateful run-in with a sea behemoth, The Coven of the Trade Winds washed ashore this tropical island. Shipwrecked and stranded, they've built a new life for themselves in the shelter of a small cove.” [Full Story]

Coven's Cove is CDJS and NotSure's debut entry to our map contests, and we're very impressed with what they've created! The landscape is relatively minimalist, yet greatly satisfying to traverse and hide within. Fans of Loakiki Paradise will find Coven's Cove familiar and comfortable to explore, but will need to be even more cunning with their hiding spots, since the cove is one of our smallest maps to date. Well done!



Created by Reekyu
“A wooden fortress built on a fossil filled island.”

Reekyu never fails to miss a map contest, and subsequently never fails to miss out on a winning spot! Bone Pit is a masterpiece in both form and function; the map is visually stunning and extremely easy to navigate, with well placed pathways and jump pads. While on the larger-size compared to other winners, the jump pads allow Hunters to quickly travel across the map while scanning for hidden Witches. Great work, Reekyu!



Created by Reekyu
“An ancient temple cursed with dark magic.”

Reekyu's second winning map of Faraway Lands is Ancient Temple, a dark and creepy interior-only map that's not for the weak-stomached. Look up, and you may see a spiders web so thickly-spun that even the temple's fallen stones haven't breached it's surface... amazing job!



Created by Gelato & Emote
“Martin's Chamber aka "Odaia lui Martin””

Gelato and Emote, previous winners of Precious Palaces with Kasbah le Ribat, make a surprise return to Faraway Lands with Martin's Chamber! Enter an abandoned, overgrown mansion on an estate long-forgotten, and seek shelter within its ivy walls. Martin's Chamber makes clever use of structures to create a building that doesn't feel prefabricated... simply impressive!



Created by Reekyu
“Built on the edge of a swamp sits the home of a lonely, but happy hunter.”

Sunset Swamp is Reekyu's third and final winning map of Faraway Lands - we just couldn't shake the feeling that this one deserved to be among our winners too! A thick, dense swamp surrounds a hand-crafted settlement built from its surrounding resources. Take shelter indoors, or hide under the vines and shrubbery scattered across the swampland. Excellent work!



As expected from our talented building community, all entries this contest were remarkable and consequently difficult to judge. Every entry we received deserved a win in their own unique ways. However, we wanted to showcase a few of our favourites that didn't make the final cut.
Please, subscribe to these maps below and send your support to these brilliant creators! 💌

Every author in the honourable mentions will receive a 10x Crystallized Moonlight bonus!
All entrants who weren't mentioned in this announcement will receive 5x Crystallized Moonlight, too!

This contest, we decided to introduce an all-new "Presentation Prize", awarded to the three entries with the best presented workshop pages. Since we had so many beautiful pages to choose from, we've decided to grant 4 winners for the presentation prize rather than our initial 3.

Each winner will receive 10 Crystallized Moonlight and their names added to the description of a Creative Mode structure (the "large wooden sign")! ✨

The Year of the Rabbit has begun! It's time to celebrate with new skins, a player icon, 4 new action props, more switchables, a themed prop layout and more! 🐇

Faraway Lands results are just around the corner - our next patch will introduce the winning maps to our Official map pool, and we can't wait to show you the results! Previously, we aimed to have this ready in January but we just need a little more time to carefully implement the new maps. Hang tight! ⌛

As always, we've got some incredible new Chinese New Years skins, including the Water Rabbit Hat and Hair for Witch, and the Water Rabbit Head for the Hunter. We hope you love them as much as we do!

And of course, Valentines is just around the corner - collect the Blooming Rose (projectile), Dreamy Cupid's Dart (melee, colour variant), and Scarlet Rose Bouquet (broom, colour variant) through crafting or the item cauldron. 💘



Opening Witch It during the Chinese New Year 2023 event will grant you 20 "Fireworks"!
A Firework contains a random Chinese New Years item (including CNY items from previous years), which can only be opened by combining them with "Gunpowder".

To earn Gunpowder, fill up the Item Cauldron with 250 experience points. You can see the item cauldron fill up at the end of the round, on the level up screen.

Gunpowder has a 40% chance of being earned on any Official server once the item cauldron is filled, and you can earn it on any map. If you're lucky enough to earn one, head back to the main menu and press 'Chinese New Years Event' to combine it with your Fireworks!

Every Chinese New Year 2023 item is tradable and craftable even after the event is over.
If you use up all your Fireworks, you can craft more by combining 5 Gunpowder together!
Note: Gunpowder can only be obtained in Official servers.

You can also receive the new items through:
- Random drops from filling up the item cauldron at the end of a round.
- Trading with other players (we recommend using our Discord server to find traders).

Pair up your Rabbit-themed cosmetics with this limited-time "Year of the Rabbit" player icon!
Play at least one round of Witch it in an Official server during the Chinese New Year 2023 event to earn the icon, but be quick - after the event ends, it will no longer be obtainable! 🐰



Prop collectors - go find four new action props that each can be activated by pressing your "prop action" button ('E' by default). Introducing the Firecracker, Bomb, Confetti Cannon and Rabbit Firework - search for them in our Official maps! 🧨

In addition, all action props (that can be activated) are now switchable in Creative Mode, meaning you can now hook up fireworks, explosives, and much more to pressure pads and levers. We can't wait to see what interesting contraptions or scenic effects you come up with!

The Official Map Contest of 2022, Faraway Lands, is currently being judged by Barrel Roll Games and the community staff team. We expect to reveal the winners in January alongside a patch including all the winning maps in our Official server map pool. 🏆

Check out all the entries by clicking here!

We've got plenty of new outfits ready for you to collect, including the Winterdream & Arcane Satyre sets, and the Temple & Mountain Yeti sets! Watch out for their horns...

Collect the limited-time "Winterdream 2022" icon by playing Witch It during the event - once Winterdream 2022 is over, the icon will never return! ⌛

Additionally, we've doubled the amount of skin sets that you can save and load between rounds!





Earning Winterdream 2022 Sets:
Open Witch It during the Winterdream 2022 event to earn 30 "Filled Boots". Combining 1 Filled Boot with 1 Cinnamon Star will craft 1 random Winterdream item (rare, very rare or whimsical).

To earn Cinnamon Stars, you must fill up the item cauldron with 250 experience points while playing one of our Winter maps: Snowbreeze or Fiskersted. The item cauldron fills up at the end of each round, during the level up screen. For every item cauldron opened on Snowbreeze or Fiskersted, there is a 40% chance that you'll receive 1 Cinnamon Star.

Crafting Winterdream items using Filled Boots and Cinnamon Stars grants a 50% chance of dropping a new Winterdream 2022 skin. You will receive the new sets more often than old sets!

Alternatively, you can earn these items through random drops during gameplay, or by crafting Winterdream item recipes in the Witches' Cauldron. You can also obtain these items through trading - we recommend using our trading channels in our Discord server! 🤝

Find our 8 new props amongst our Christmas prop layouts on Snowbreeze and Fiskersted, including a Winter Wreath, a Perfume Atomizer, and even a spectacular Grandfather Clock! Props you collect on Official servers can also be used in your Creative Mode maps - so go get collecting! 🕰️



Mappers rejoice! We've added 10 new roof structures to Creative Mode to give you more options with your custom buildings. Piece segments together to create the perfect roof length, or discover a unique use for them by scaling and rotating them - either way, we hope you enjoy these new structures! 🧱



We appreciate all your feedback regarding the split map voting pools for low and high populated servers! Generally, people felt this feature was too restrictive, so we've made some changes to the map voting screen to give players more power in their map choices. 🗳️

The voting screen now includes two big and two small maps for voting, as well as an option to vote for the previous map again. All maps now have a player recommendation in the bottom corner of their thumbnail.



In the server list, look out for our "Winterdream" servers - these servers have altered game rules, allowing all players to move faster with reduced skill cooldowns. In this mode, chickens have a far smaller radius but can be spammed more frequently, and we've also added an experimental "Train Hunter" skill that can travel through walls! 🚂



We've added a third prop layout to Flint Falls, Twisted House and Grave Gulch - which means every Official map now has at least three unique prop layouts.

Ambient sounds have now been added to some previous map contest winners, including Lost Temple, Oasis Temple, Niemeyer Legacy and Pizza Factory. Listen out for them! 🔊

Vote kick functionality has arrived to Imposturous, so if someone is being a nuisance in your lobby, you can cast a vote that will remove them from the match (hopefully you'll never have to use it!).

Also, keep your eyes peeled for a special community painting in the Imposturous map... 🖌️

The Winterdream Shop has returned for a limited-time! If you wish to support Barrel Roll Games by purchasing some of our Winterdream sets or the animated "BRG Supporter" icon, please click here! 🛒
