vDEMO.1.2 - Balance Update & Bug Fixes

Hey there ✨

Thank you for playing the first DEMO version of Mystopia! We've listened to your feedback, balanced the algorithms and fixed the bugs. Mystopia is about to get cozier than ever!

Game Updates

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]
  • Adjusted audio volumes.
  • A cancel quit button has been added to the quit game panel.
  • Updated tutorial sequence.
  • The game will now occasionally auto-save.
[h3]Blocks[/h3]
  • Some blocks are now stackable regardless of their type, unless you're trying to stack a ground tile.
  • Adjusted the brightness of light objects.
  • You're guaranteed to get one item for every 15 letters of decoration.
[h3]Letters[/h3]
  • Letters will no longer summon the same block twice in a row.
  • Blocks now require a few more letters to be opened before they can be summoned again. Some blocks require more letters to open than others.
[h3]Cauldron[/h3]
  • You can no longer drop an item into the Cauldron if it doesn't make a potion with the current recipes available.
  • The Cauldron will no longer dance when you hold an item that doesn't make a potion with the recipes currently available.
[h3]Pentagram[/h3]
  • Changed Pentagram's model.
  • You can now refresh the Pentagram Market an unlimited number of times. Each time you refresh, the coin cost will double. This cost will return to 1 every 90 seconds, along with the Pentagram's self refresh.
  • The Pentagram is now animated and will fly.
  • Pentagram will now play a flame VFX when you burn a block.
  • Burning a block on the Pentagram now dissolves the block instead of it's current animation.
[h3]Screenshot Mode[/h3]
  • The first time you open the Polaroid Frame mode, you'll be greeted with an information screen explaining the Polaroid Frame.
[h3]Potions[/h3]
  • The first time you use a particular potion, you'll be greeted with information explaining a new mechanic.
[h3]Flowers[/h3]
  • Flowers will no longer plant when hovering over a grass ground tile, but will plant when they're no longer being held.
  • Planting a flower on the ground will make a 'plop' sound.


Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug that caused the "Yúnnán Zhī Tiān" music to play at the same volume regardless of the global volume level.
  • Fixed a bug where the cauldron sprite was wrong.
  • Fixed a bug where some blocks would register in the collection book even though they were undiscoverable.
  • Fixed a bug where some unusable blocks could be bought from the Pentagram, causing the game to crash.
  • Fixed a bug where the Cauldron would become uninteractable when making a potion with it.
  • Fixed a bug where the potion would spawn inside the Cauldron if you'd made a potion with it.
  • Fixed a bug where you could only craft one potion if you didn't restart the game.
  • Fixed a bug where the Pentagram market wouldn't refresh sometimes.
  • Fixed a bug where starting a new game would sometimes result in player not getting the cauldron or the Pentagram.
  • Fixed a bug where the slabs bought from Pentagram would spawn under the world, resulting in them being uninteractable.
  • Fixed a bug where repeatedly starting a new game would result in the player having more than two letters.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking a letter before starting a new game would result in the player having more than two letters in the game.
  • Fixed a bug where items thrown into the cauldron would appear later than expected.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking on some lights didn't turn them off.
  • Fixed a bug where the "Continue" button would disappear on the first playthrough.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking the "New Game" button after the tutorial without restarting the game would cause your world to still exist when it should have disappeared.
  • Fixed a bug where the game would return to the pause menu after pressing the ESC key if you'd opened the Collection Book by pressing the TAB key.
  • Fixed a bug where the letters would come faster than the intended speed if you opened your first few decor letters too late in the game.
  • Fixed a bug where the Cauldron or Pentagram could be spawned more than once.
  • Fixed a bug where pressing the F key would sometimes crash the camera if there were no letters to interact with.
  • Fixed a bug where starting a new game didn't deactivate the potion helper icon and the last potion mix.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't click in the field to change the name of the polaroid frame.
  • Fixed a bug where opening letters over grass didn't flatten the grass.
  • Fixed a bug where taking a screenshot during a tutorial would include the screenshot UI.
  • Fixed a bug where one of the potions would spawn a block inside another object or letter.
  • Fixed a bug where the cauldron VFX was incorrect.
  • Fixed dirt and stone slab models.

[h2]What were we cooking?👨‍🍳👩‍🍳[/h2]

Everything you see in Mystopia is inspired by different cultures of witchcraft. In the demo, you can build your worlds with blocks and items from three different cultures: Europe, Japan :JPN: and China :china:.


The demo will feature four beautiful tracks composed by Mazhar Mustafaoğlu. Whichever culture you choose to design your world around, the more of that culture's music you'll hear. 🎶

You'll also be able to track your progress in the Collection Notebook 📒 and see what potions you've discovered in your Potion Book 📖.

We're also working on making the Photo Mode 📸 feel juuust right, so you can take photos like this:


We can't wait to show you what we've been working on all this time. See you on July 18th!
