Swords 'n Magic and Stuff News

Happy Friday, Friends!

We've been loving all the posts in our Discord about the new zone! It's been so nice seeing the reactions and questions and new people talking.

We've had a LOT of reports about the boar companion and Necromancer Trinket. The boars and skellies just spawn and chill. The good news is we fixed the boar! The bad news is the Necromancer Trinket now spawns boars..... at least we know how to fix that though! We'll get that updated later this month along with a few other bug fixes and surprises.

We've also been working on the Delver's Pass Phase 2 content. Our Ravari are getting more content as well as some new NPC's you've yet to meet. Our other priority is our loading times. We're playing with a few different ways to load up the game so it doesn't take as long or lose connection with Steam. We're seeing good results with our testing team, but still have more to do with it.

In other news, let me know what you think is going on here:

Welcome to this year's Witch's Eve event!

This event will last for only one week this year, so make it count! Be sure to visit Azura Island, Sleepy Haven, and Moonberry Farms for all of your spooky items!

This year we've introduced 8 new community designed Witch's Eve costumes for the community costume contest we held via our Discord! Check out the costumes in-game and pay your compliments for the amazing designs in our Discord if you like them. Luckily we didn't have to pick just one winner, so we picked all of our favorites. (Some of you even got multiple outfits in!)

The winners of the contest are:

Zammers
Cerius
TheAquaticTiger
Pearl
KindOfBooooring

Congratulations!
