Swords 'n Magic and Stuff News

Hey adventurers!

Frostfall is officially over and that means have no more official seasonal events planned for Swords 'n Magic.

This year we're focusing on wrapping up systems, bug fixing and one more major content push before we round the corner to our official 1.0 release.

We're excited to finally call this journey complete, but unfortunately this last stretch is going to be a long one. We don't have any official dates or roadmaps ready at this time, but we'll keep in touch as we lock down our timeframe.

Thanks for all your support along the way!

Also, there are no patch notes for this update other than Frostfall is over and it's business as usual in Tirawyn. Though an update with some more pressing bug fixes is in the works, so hang tight.

[p]So close, yet so far away with that last patch. Looks like we resolved launching your single player game while it was snowing/raining, but joining multiplayer was causing crashing as well and our fix didn't account for that. This time I think we've got things all squared away, but also introduced a slight cosmetic issue. When joining a multiplayer world affected by weather, you won't see that weather until it updates to something new. We'll be working on resolving this issue as well, but for now at least you can join multiplayer worlds again! Phew![/p][p][/p][p]No other minor fixes for this patch, but there's still another community event coming up, so don't miss out on grouping up to take down the Frost Golem and get your hands on some exclusive Frostfall loot![/p]
