Development Update

Since the release of the Roadmap, development has been going very well and I want to give you an update about the current state of the game. Everything presented in the roadmap will be released in one bigger Update instead of multiple smaller ones. I am sorry if i induced the impression for an earlier Update, that was my initial plan, but it makes no sense from an efficiency standpoint. It will also be a much better player experience, instead of smaller pieces there will be quite a substantial content update. The downside is, it will still take quite some time until everything is finished and playtested.

Here a quick overview of the progress so far, excluding many smaller changes.

Feature-Complete

• Speed Running features

  The game tracks your playtime (excluding loading screens) and there is a display which shows the playtimes for all the mile stone maps.

• Hardcore Mode

  You start with 20 Health and at the end of a battle, your health is carried over to the next battle. This means you have only one health pool. Health can be restored by earning stars. The progress of a dead player is saved and can be seen at the graveyard. I did not really play this mode yet so very experimental as of now. If the mode does not really work, i might scrap it.

• Relic System

  Find Relics throughout the world of Magonia. Each Relic can be dropped in three different maps. There are a total of 32 Relics as of now. Once a Relic is found, it can be "activated" with a Relic Orb, which can be obtained from a Quest reward. 6 Relic orbs will be obtainable in total. E.g. Relics: One Relic allows the arrows of the Archer towers to pierce enemies. Another one lets the Lightning Network generate Gold each round, depending on its size.

• Two rows of Specialization Skills for each base Tower (3 per base tower)

• Abandoned Trail (Map)

• Bridgeway (Map)

• Mountain Retreat (Map)

• Frozen River (Map)

• Burn DoT (similar to poison)

• New Bonfire modifiers which strengthen the additional enemies

  E.g. Spiders can lay eggs, Tanks share some of the damage, Slimes explode upon death

• Quests with time limit

  Complete the map within a given time window, bar represents the remaining time in-game

Work in Progress

• City of Magonia (Map)

• Arena of Magonia (Map)

• Set Items

  If you have two items of the same set in your inventory, they get a setbonus. Its still a bit open how i will design this, but it goes in this direction.

• General Skills

• New Spell Upgrades

• Playtesting

Probably not included in the next Update

• New Tower

• New Camp Locations

Crashes

Some players report to me that the game crashes for them. Unfortunately i could not yet reproduce any crash which makes it quite difficult to fix. I changed some stuff where i suspected that it could lead to a crash, but to be honest i am fishing a bit in the dark. If the game is still unplayable, and i am not able to fix it, you can reach out to me and i try to help you with a refund.
