[h3]Safety of your Save Games in the long run[/h3]
Your current save files are safe this time, but we found a severe issue with the save game system, which prevents us from keeping the save games safe in the long run through updates. We will have to rewrite this part to provide persistable save files that are safe from corruption. When we release that update, we will also provide a backup branch that will allow you to play the previous version, so you can finish the game without losing the saves.

[h3]Post your feedback and bug reports[/h3]
Thank you for all the bug reports and your feedback so far! We are reading everything and try to reply when possible. You can send your feedback and nasty bugs at our Discord or Steam Forum.

Keep hurling those fireballs! ːcc_explosionː

It's a new day with a new patch. Thank you for your reports! ːCotcTorchː

ːCotcKeyː New & Updated

• Consumable items are now limited to 10 per type
  
• Missing Achievement icons added
  
• Game saving disabled in the bonus level
  
• Frozen enemies will shatter into ice gibs/cubes
  
• [Map Editor] You can now enter the First-person Edit Mode with F1 key as well
  

ːCotcMiningCartː Fixes

• In Mourning Grounds, we updated the room after the golden-key doors so the gates close faster in order to avoid the skeleton escaping
  
• Broken achievements fixed
  - Adventurer
  - No Stone Left Unturned
  - Mage Runner achievement won't be awarded in the bonus level anymore
  - Frost Mage achievement fixed
  - Treasure Hunter will count treasure items correctly now
  
• Key Rebinding Reset will save the reset state
  
• Bug fixed where you could loot dead bodies over and over
  
• Ogres appearing on the crates
  • Saving in the middle of the Boss fight won't break the save anymore
  

We would also like to address the "save game" issues some people experienced with the latest update. First, we weren't aware that any changes that we made could affect the save games, so we didn't pay extra attention to it. We tried to find the culprit and save the mess but without success.
Therefore, we added extra measures to prevent this from happening in the future. We will do additional "save game" compatibility tests to ensure a safe update before every update.
We're sorry for all the inconvenience!

Last but not least, if you're venturing into the level creation part of Wizordum, we put together a Quick Editing Guide so you can easily get started with the basics and shortcuts.

Thank you!

Wizordum's Early Access launch arrived yesterday and with it came an awesome bundle: Wizordum + Amid Evil!

Grab both games and wreak havoc upon your enemies. With Wizordum's first-person spellcasting and Amid Evil's ludicrous magical weaponry, there's no shortage of retro-FPS goodness for you to explore.

[h3]Word from the developer[/h3]
Hello everyone!

This day has finally come, and I'm beyond excited that we can finally give you the game we've been working hard on for the past few years. The development started in 2019 when this was a mere one-day prototype without any goals, and today, we're here, hitting Early Access. We poured our hearts and souls into Wizordum, and we hope you will enjoy the game as much as we enjoy making it!

This is only 1/3 of the game content-wise, so we will constantly look for feedback as we move forward to the v1.0 release. With your help, we can shape the best game we can all possibly have! If you have any feedback, positive or negative, please share it with us. Both are very important to make a better game.

📜We will be releasing a Roadmap soon too.

[h3]Symphonic Suite from Wizordum[/h3]
To celebrate the launch day, we released something extra for you. Experience a taste of sorcery by immersing yourself in the "Symphonic Suite from Wizordum", written by Wizordum composer Tim Stoney as a long-form version of the Main Menu theme.

Thank you!
