This month we've put lots of focus on the fantasy side of our medieval fantasy game by adding magic spells of many different varieties, ranging from destructive combat to strict utility. Players joining a fresh server will need to meet a few requirements before becoming a full-fledged spell-slinger.
First, you'll need to learn them individually by interacting with a Magic Table. Each spell will have a different cost in the form of magic infused crystal shards that you'll be able to find as unique mining nodes or rarely in loot chests across the island.
Second, you'll need to find yourself a staff. Staffs can be found in weapon loot chests and will also be craftable. With spells learned and a staff equipped, you'll be ready to fulfill your wildest witch and wizard survival fantasies.
We'll leave most spells to be discovered by players in game, but here's a small taste to get you hungry for more:
Master the powerful elements of fire and ice with Fireball and Ice Knife
Channel your inner Zeus with Chain Lightning and Thunder Storm
Conjure a Glowing Orb to light up your path in the dark
Other Notable Changes
Desert biome added to the open world
Landmarks with icons added to map
Dig for treasure with a shovel - may find different items digging in different terrain types
Detail map upgrades increasing material texture quality
Added many micro landmarks to open world for more environment variety
Stay in the Loop

We were delighted to see the trailer for Blue Prince shown at the Future Game Show this evening. If you missed it, you can check it out here:
What is Blue Prince?
Blue Prince is a genre-defying mystery strategy puzzle adventure unlike anything you’ve ever played before.
You play as Simon, the sole beneficiary of the Sinclair Estate at Mount Holly, a sprawling 45-room Manor set in beautiful and expansive grounds. Your grand-uncle: Herbert S Sinclair, recently passed away and you travel to Mount Holly to claim your inheritance.
But it’s not going to be that simple…
Herbert was a mysterious and enigmatic man when he was alive, and he has left his biggest challenge yet for you to solve: Find the hidden Room 46 in the 45-room Estate.
Mount Holly’s shifting nature means that traversing through its halls is an unpredictable journey where no two days play out the same. You also cannot take for granted what room awaits behind any door, floorplans change daily, and every day you start completely from scratch.
Can you solve the mystery of Mount Holly and find what awaits within Room 46?
A note from the developer
“We’re thrilled to finally have Blue Prince formally introduced to the world. This has been a journey (and house) 8 years in the making, and we can’t wait to unlock the doors of Mount Holly soon and welcome you into our world.” - Tonda, Director of Blue Prince
Blue Prince is coming to Steam soon, follow the game and wishlist now!
