Spell Disk 0.9.5c update

  • Increased UI text size for the Upgrade and Recycle indicators.
  • Fixed an issue where the upgrade panel was not visible due to the fade-out sequence of the item information panel.
  • Changed the upgrade behavior. Continuously pressing the upgrade button now requires releasing the button to proceed to the next level, preventing unintentional upgrades. This adjustment addresses the issue of mistakenly upgrading items. The behavior for the instant upgrade feature in the game remains unchanged.
  • Changed the dialogue of certain texts from the boss, which some people may find inappropriate. It also reflects the most lore-accurate nuance.

Spell Disk 0.9.5b update

  • Upgrade indicator effect will now render at the correct position. It previously had a strange offset depending on various resolutions.
  • Adjusted Air Wisp by increasing its base damage. However, adjustments have been made to ensure that the extra damage is not increased by critical strikes. Allowing extra damage to critically strike resulted in a chain reaction of 1000 damage -> 2000 damage with a crit -> 4000 damage with a crit..., leading to an overflow of score values.
  • Fixed various summon spells that were not displaying the damage effect correctly.
  • Addressed an issue with the totem maker artifact.
  • Adjusted black bars on boss scenes to reduce a pixel gap that appears on non-standard resolutions.

Spell Disk 0.9.5a hotfix

  • Fixed a critical issue that occurred when unequipping the Librarian Bag artifact.
  • Readjusted the rendering order of the upgrade effect to ensure it renders above the stat panel.

Spell Disk 0.9.5 update

  • Greatly optimized collision detection for summoned minions and Survivor Mode enemies. Modified and adjusted their hitboxes to increase collision detection efficiency.
  • Inventory navigation will now ignore the "Expand Slot" option while holding an item.
  • The Librarian Bag was erroneously causing damage to be multiplied twice. This has been corrected, with its base power increased from 40% to 50% to compensate for the power loss resulting from the bug fix.
  • Adjusted the color of the electric slash, as its purple hue was counterintuitive to our overall color design (purple is usually reserved for enemy danger signs).
  • Added a bounce effect and outline effect for some artifact UI icons.
  • Improved the graphic of the obelisk's healing circles, which will now render below the walls.
  • Cleaned up some nearly invisible pixels on the Toxic Poolspewer enemy sprite.
  • Fixed an issue where some item descriptions were missing in certain languages.
  • Fixed an issue with the cutscene skip if the cutscene skip button was pressed very rapidly within 0.02 seconds.
  • Stopped disk activation during the cutscene with the final boss. It was a bit rude to interrupt the dialogue with spell spams and also wasteful to use spells while the boss is invincible!
  • Also, stopped disk activation during the boss room entrance transition.

Version 1.0 teasers and Spell Disk 0.9.4 update

Dear Spell Disk Community,

Since the release of Spell Disk Early Access version, we've been working diligently to develop the game, aiming for the full-version quality. We sincerely thank all the players who have played the game and provided feedback on the Steam forum and our Discord channel. Currently, we are on track to release the 1.0 version of Spell Disk on March 1st, 2024.

In our upcoming 1.0 version of Spell Disk, the following features are planned to be added:
  • New weapon.
  • New outfit.
  • New accessory.
  • New Survivor Map.
  • New Achievements.
  • Rampage Mode. This entirely new game mode feature brings brand-new maps and a hidden boss. Rampage Mode will also serve as a place to deliver the conclusion of the overarching story of the game, in addition to shedding light on the lore of the world.

With the addition of Rampage Mode, all of the milestones on our Early Access Roadmap will have been successfully met. We've added many more features and contents than we initially announced, but that was intentional, as we aimed to exceed people's expectations rather than fall short of our promises.

Here are some sneak peaks for 1.0 version contents:

The following is the patch notes for 0.9.4 version:
  • Added sound effects for Crossbow, Longbow, and Poison Arrow artifacts.
  • Spore Golem will act slower between actions. This balance adjustment was made as the boss's lingering projectiles posed greater threat relative to other bosses.
  • Reduced the health of Archer Captain boss.
  • Fixed an object handling issue with Shuriken spell.
  • Added a skip function when facing the Architect boss. By pressing the interact button, you can now skip the walk-and-talk sequence. This option becomes available after defeating the Architect three times, exhausting the first three encounter dialogues.
  • Boss's UI canvas will fade out instead of disappearing at once on death.
  • Fixed a case the player's dash sound could be silenced if the architect was defeated but was continued from the main menu before proceeding to end the run.

Thank you all for your continued support and feedback. We will publish more news regarding the full version and the release schedule in the following weeks. ːsteamhappyː
