Demo v1.0 OUT NOW!

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3032770/The_Quizards_Domain__Demo/"]

New In-Game Stuff

• You can now gain points by knocking out other players! This will likely be expanded further. For now, 1 KO = 1 point

• There's some new dynamic camera work to highlight key events like question appearances and destabilization knockouts (when characters turn all erratic and glitchy)

• In-game Remote Play Together menus for easier multiplayer setup, along with some general UI improvements

• Basic and Intermediate tutorials, available through arena selection

• Updated onboarding for new and returning players (if you haven't played for >7 days you'll get a little example of how the main menu works, etc)

• Updated status/stun handling, allowing for a bunch of fun new mini-combos and just improving overall consistency and feel - Snappier orb attacks; they come out and are reusable more quickly

• Some entirely unnecessary but very fun and juicy new effects on the Grimoire, before and after opening it up

• Bug fixes. Old bugs, new bugs, bugs I introduced and then fixed while fixing other bugs... Every flavor you can imagine.

Not There Yet, Hopefully Soon(tm)

• A comprehensive question selection algo that dynamically changes the difficulty and category probabilities of up coming questions based on recent player performance. Meaning that, if people struggle to score for a while the questions get easier and categories that have been scored in successfully become more likely... And vice versa!

• A (mostly) invisible Quizard presence within the arenas, which provides some extra flavor and "commentary" (like cackling at players for failing to score), as well as Intervention events. Some examples: Mid-round answer shuffle, next-round score multiplier, wild gravity, the "leading player" crown becomes a tangible object weighing down the top scorer,... and many more!

Outside the Game

• New logo who dis

• Updated key art to properly showcase that GLORIOUS new logo

• Updated Steam page all around, including all-new fancy gifs in the long description section

• A BRAND SPANKIN NEW TRAILER OHMAGERD!

This update has been in the works for way too long. But with this, only a few little things remain for the demo to feature everything I'd planned for it to have! I'm hoping to get those last major features and minor fixes sorted asap, then continue chipping away at content and special full-game features in the long run.

Once again, thank you all for continuing to stick with me throughout all of this 💜
