The second part of the gamescom update is here and it should include all of the changes I wanted to do after hearing your opinions. Thanks again to anyone who played and gave feedback.

  the level and create a fighting area.

At gamescom I got a bunch of feedback that I want to include into the game and this is the first batch of bugfixes / improvements from gamescom.

• Fixed Bug that would make wasd not work on stop enemies from spawning
  
• Added icons to map and mini map, to give you a better overview
  
• Increased movement speed while out of combat
  
• Level up now gives you full life
  
• Cleaned interactions a little bit
  

There are still a bunch of things missing including the removal of the locked camera during combat, because this is a bigger change I decided to first publish this update. The next one should come in the next couple of weeks. Thanks to anyone who came around, I had a great time.

I am going to show School of Magic at this years gamescom and I am really excited. To celebrate I created a new Trailer and I am giving away Will Glow the Wisp for free if enough people Wishlist School of Magic.
Here is how the event works

• 10 000 wishlist for School of Magic means that the price for Will Glow the Wisp drops from 2.99$ to 1.99$
  
• 15 000 wishlist drops the price to 0.99$
  
• 20 000 wishlists for School of Magic makes Will Glow the Wisp free
  
• The price will change either by the end of the Gamescom (Aug 28th 23:00 CET) or after 20 000 wishlists have been hit. Keep in mind that Valve still needs to process the request so expect a slight delay, after the event is over.
  

So if you want to get Will Glow the Wisp for free go and Wishlist School of Magic and just wait 😉

Besides some bug fixes and minor improvements this update creates a better introduction to the game and I would love to know what you think about it.
