Sneak Peek of Chucklefish's Next Game: A Magic School RPG
"I am hoping to find an apprentice. Some day I will leave this mortal plane, but my arcane pursuits must continue."
-M. Rasmodius, Wizard (Stardew Valley)
Have you heard the words going around about Stardew Valley meets Harry Potter and Little Witch Academia stuff? Because that's likely to be one more next game from Chucklefish, and it's as charming as Stardew Valley and Starbound. So a month ago one of Chucklefish's developer posted about things they are currently working on with ConcernedApe for Stardew Valley's next update in early 2018 with the multiplayer mode as the most anticipated new feature from this gorgeous farming game.
Another project Chucklefish Games been updating lately is their upcoming Advanced Wars inspired turn-based tactic game called Wargroove. But apparently those are not everything they are working on right now, there is one more game that greatly took the fans' attention for its interesting look although it hasn't been officially announced yet.
Recently Chucklefish's CEO posted a Stardew Valley image on Twitter, with something we've never seen in it. As you can see above, that is (the screenshot) the CEO's tweet followed by a bunch of hyped fans and some of them guessing what appear to be people wearing wizard-y hats and clothes by referencing them to Little Witch Academia. See the pic on top of this post for clearer picture.
Also, if you've been following Chucklefish on Twitter actually there are hints about this unannounced wizard school Stardew Valley-like game back in October 2016. One was a gif that shows a look inside a library posted in Twitter by Chucklefish's CEO while saying something about "Spellbound", and the other shows even bigger hint on this game uploaded on YouTube, by the same person. Doesn't it tell you something already?
The one on YouTube giving a slight glance on how the artstyle going to be in this next curious game about wizards and witches. Although this game don't even have a name or officially announced yet, it certainly something that they will release soon given that tweet from the CEO himself, and their interview on it with PC Gamer.
Their inspiration wasn't from Little Witch Academia nor Harry Potter, but Studio Ghibli's Kiki’s Delivery Service, a novel series called Old Kingdom by Garth Nix, and a witch character from novel Discworld by Terry Pratchett. So that's explain where the beautiful artstyle they are using and the magics and witches theme came from. But I don't know what the Old Kingdom novel's role in it.
So does walking around town and talking to the town folks wearing pointy hats and can cast spells sounds awesome to you? Although the artstyle is less pixelated than Stardew Valley it still looks as calming as that game. The CEO also stated that they have learned a lot of lessons from working with Stardew Valley, so you could expect this to be as good too.

If only this bot could put the tweet in the post, not in the comment, that'd be nice.
Awesome post. follow me @maruf121.
Maybe you should take a look at this post, and the comments too
The artwork looks pretty sweet.
I know right? Looks like this one will be a "calming" game too, like Stardew Valley
Yeah true, i thought about Stardew Valley when i saw the artwork!.
I am honestly SO excited for this!! I was um a bit "addicted" to Stardew Valley as well as Starbound so when this hits my productivity will fly out the window. That and I loved Kiki's Delivery Service so this game is fully up my street, I need it now :O
It seems like these guys keep making a good step in developing their games, and this one will likely become another loveable game. I think I need it too right now hahah
