Playtest #2 Update

This playtest focuses on a new ways of spellcasting, new game mode, new spells, custom chants and VRoid integration. Whether you joined before or this is your first time, I'd love to hear what you think.

New ways of Spellcasting

Simple Mode

In this mode, you can cast spells by holding the hotkey and play QTEs to successfully cast your spells. This alternative spellcasting mode offer simple button and allow players to play with a controller in the future for controller support.

Typing Mode

In this mode, you cast spells by typing the incantations with keyboards instead of shouting it through your mic. It's a good way to test your typing skills against each other in an epic battle!

Shouting Mode

The original or as I would like to call it GO FULL ANIME MODE. In this mode, you cast spells by shouting the incantations through your mic. Enjoy a real time battle by chanting your skills just like in the Anime!

Grimoire

A new 'Grimoire' menu has been unlocked. Here, you can see all of your spells details such as it's incantations, cooldown, video preview, and attributes. You can also customize your spells incantations here.

Custom Incantations

You heard it right. Bored with shouting a generic line such as 'Arrow Rain' or 'Ice Eruption' ? Well now you can change it as you like it. Use a fancy line like 'God's Retribution' or a funny one like 'Spicy Super Meatball', its your spells so now go and name it!

VRoid Character Integration

VRoid hub account is needed to use this feature

You can now access VRoid menu when creating a new character. This will bring you to VRoid hub website and ask you for the authentication code. After you enter the authentication code, you will now see your own avatar as well as other avatars with permissable permission such as a commercial use as well as violence use. After you read the agreement, you will now be able to download the character and use it in the game.

For other players to see your VRoid avatar in the game, they will also need to authenticate with their VRoid hub account.

Additional Changes:

• Added 5 new spells!
