An Amazing Wizard News

In the last 2 weeks we were mainly working on creating the free Prologue version of the game and adding QOL changes around it. It may sound very simple, but we had to think about which items, spells, levels, dialogues, parts of content, etc should be available for you in the Prologue. We plan to run first playtests next month so go ahead and wishlist it on Steam if you want to get notified on it's launch! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2920980/An_Amazing_Wizard_Prologue/

Hello!
GOG was originally a Polish platform for DRM-free games. Because Jakub, the lead dev behind An Amazing Wizard, is from Poland, and because some Kickstarter players have requested to get the game from GOG:
[h3]An Amazing Wizard has an official page on GOG![/h3]
https://www.gog.com/game/an_amazing_wizard


It is in the "Coming Soon" state, so, you can wishlist the game there. The full game release would be on the same day as Steam, so nobody gets offended :)

[h3]To express our gratitude to everyone who has supported An Amazing Wizard, the FREE Prologue with everything currently in Alpha will be launched soon![/h3]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2920980/An_Amazing_Wizard_Prologue/

As Kickstarter failed, people who wanted to join the Alpha and Beta tests could not do so. Also, there are many friends who supported AAW over the last 3 years of development. As a "Thank You", I want to invite you to the free Prologue.

The order will be:

1. A closed Playtest for KS supporters first.
   
2. Alienware Arena agreed to organize an open Playtest in their community.
   
3. Open Playtest for ALL who would want to participate.
   
4. When the Prologue is good enough, I will publish it here on Steam.
   

Hope to hear from you!
