[h3]Today An Amazing Wizard has joined the Erabit publisher family[/h3]

The game was in development for over two years, and the release is still planned for Q4 2024. The publisher will ensure that there are no delays and the quality will be at a decent level. An Amazing Wizard is a game that is being developed by a solo dev in his spare time after a full-time job. It is a project of passion and dreams, and the publisher will assist with all non-development tasks so that dev could focus on what he can make the best — creating an amazing game.

[h3]An Amazing Wizard will be broadcasted during the Dreamhack[/h3]
Broadcast will stream how the game looks on 1 and 2 levels on different biomes - it is around 5hrs into the gameplay. With each level, enemies will learn new tricks. There are some changes coming that you will hear about next month.
