Magic Update

Ten new spells are coming to Magia. We're testing the contracts now and they'll be included in the main game before the next alpha round starts!

Game Engine Update

We've been hard at work for the last couple of weeks building out the game engine. We had great feedback from the initial testers and we're almost ready to welcome them back to put the new engine through its paces.

Graphics

The new engine will launch with updated UI graphics and now that the hackathon length has been extended we've commissioned new tile assets with higher resolution screen-2022-07-29-15-58-40.png

Community

Initially we were shy to post about a work in progress but after a lot of encouragement we've started using twitter. The launch goal is to post once a day for 2 weeks and see how that goes.

Alpha Standings Update

We're into the last 24 hours of the first alpha round of Magia. The field is packed and its tight at the top. Four players have broken away. Mimes is leading the pack, Frasquito in close 2nd, and Doghoargento rounding off the podium. But it's far from over. HabannaClub in fourth will keep them honest, ready to steal in at the last and nab a larger prize if one of the top 3 lets up on the final day. All still to play for with the top 4 winning a share of 250 USDC including 100 USDC for first place!

Development Update

Whilst the alpha round was running we've focused on suping up under the hood. We've switched up RPCs and are close to deploying burner wallets. That's the first step to building our network interaction layer for the smoothest game experience and to remove barriers when onboarding new players.

At the same time we've had great feedback from the alpha community for how we can balance the game and plenty of suggestions on the direction to follow next. We can't wait to switch gears back into game dev and start adding new features.

We had some great feedback after the first day of alpha testing. The first update was deployed today from what we've learned so far. The big change is shields, you can now protect your units while you sleep! The other points are UI/UX improvements. Thanks again to everyone taking part. Stay tuned for more updates and keep the reports coming :)

Shields Update

• Added shields to protect your land when you’re away. Current cost is 300 energy for 12 hours. While a shield is active your resources will continue to build. You cannot deploy, equip, cast, move, attack. You can cancel a shield early, but no energy will be returned.
• Improved Cast Spells interface
• Themed the MintHero dialog and added an RNG button to random roll your stats.
• Added ‘My Lands’ bar to cycle through your own lands
• Added hero names to enemy tiles and units

Magia Alpha launched today. Thanks to everyone who registered to help test. It's super rewarding seeing people logging in. Just a few weeks back we were figuring out how to paint map tiles in an isometric grid. Now watching enemy cavalry move across that map... and obliterate my unguarded bowmen... it's a beautiful sight.
