School of Magic Prologue News

[p]Hi everyone,
for about four hours today I accidentally threw you into the demo. If you got the “1 HP” message, that was me turning the wrong knob. It’s fixed now, so you can go back to having more than the durability of a wet paper bag. Sorry about that.[/p]

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]I’ve just pushed a big new update to School of Magic! [/p]

• [p]The internal closed Beta has officially started.[/p]
• [p]The demo can now be played further than before – but there’s a twist:
  After clearing the first dungeon, your life is set to 1. From then on, you’re basically playing in Ironman Mode. A brutal challenge, but I know some of you are up for it. [/p]

[h3]What’s new?[/h3]

• [p]Brand-new spells including the Necromancer and the shapeshifting Druid [/p]
• [p]Tons of balancing and improvements[/p]
• [p]And so much more hidden in the dungeons…[/p]

[p]And if you manage to reach the pirates in the demo, I’d love to see a screenshot of it! [/p][p]The best way to discover it all is to jump in and try it out.[/p][hr][/hr][p]Thanks a lot for following the project and being part of this journey – every bit of feedback helps shape School of Magic into the best game it can be.
[/p][p]See you in the dungeon!
Nikolas, PartTimeIndie

Hello everyone,

I've got some exciting news about School of Magic! The open beta registration will be closing soon, and from then on, the next update will be for beta players only. If you haven't joined yet, now's your chance! The open beta registration will close on Monday, July 15th. To join the beta you need to join my discord server: https://discord.gg/YBXAPkZ

I've been working hard on the first boss, and I'm thrilled to announce that in the next few weeks, I'll be dropping a preview of the boss fight for you to try out. This is a huge milestone because it means I'm finally starting to push forward on content. I'm excited to create the skill tree with new cards and abilities, and explore new areas filled with fresh enemies (yes, even pirates!).

Your feedback on the boss fight will be super important to make sure it's as awesome as it can be. Don't miss out on this chance to be part of the development and get exclusive content.

Join the beta now, and let's make School of Magic amazing together!

Thanks for all your support and enthusiasm.

This updates fixes a couple of bugs:

• Combat Caster now does regenerate your mana correctly
  
• When walking with WASD your spell queue is cleared when running out of mana
