Spellsided Demo Update 0.4 - The Challenge Update

Major Changes

• The Challenge Update is here!! ⚔️

  • Prove yourself worthy of the Tabletop’s favour by finding the most efficient solutions to these bite-sized trials.

  • This update comes with three new challenge levels, with a new level being added every fortnight. (Timeline may change depending on production craziness)

• Share your challenge solutions using our shiny new clipboard-based score sharing feature, which will give a summary of your spell loadout and the sequence of moves you made.

  • We're hosting leaderboards on our Discord server at discord.spellsided.com for the best solutions from the community.

• Moved the Domino Den prototype to a beta branch.

  • We learned a huge amount from releasing the Domino Den demo and its reception, but its current form isn’t representative of our vision of the final game, so we’ll be re-releasing it later down the line in a much more complete form ✨

  • If you’d like to continue your progress in the Domino Den campaign, you can switch to the beta branch:

    • Right click Spellsided Demo in the Steam library and click Properties

    • Go to the Betas tab

    • Select legacy-dominodendemo under Beta Participation.

Minor Changes

• Plenty of UI quality of life updates, both in the menus and in-game to make the flow a little more satisfying.

  • The spell inventory has also had a facelift, but it’s still a placeholder for our more ambitious UI plans 👀

• The options menu has been upgraded with a bunch of new options to help with performance.

  • PC performance benchmarking was also added to help with people who aren’t comfortable changing settings, but we still recommend playing around with settings yourself as we haven’t perfected the auto benchmark yet.

• You no longer need to reset to change your spells as long as you’re on a checkpoint.

Known Issues

• On the first start of the game, there may be a black screen for a moment as the game benchmarks your machine to auto-set the graphics options.

• The Shield spell sometimes doesn’t break when hit by lasers.

• “E to Interact” prompt can sometimes still appear when dead.

• The game experiences some stutter/bad frame pacing at the moment.
