Thanks again for all the support and positive feedback you've left us, something we didn't show last time was the ability to summon powerful storms.
Also on a recent playthrough on our stream, we showed the power of a shaped lightning spell cutting through enemies.
or you can just watch the world burn.
Blizzards aren't the only storms you can summon... the Fictorum is able to call down a meteor storm.
Thanks for all the support and feedback so far!

Please make this good
HMSFirestar
As long as you get someone to write a story and lore it should be good. I'd love to see a story based game like this.
dashcan
Mmm. May do the Alpha level later.
catusfelis
Now it only needs the game part
ImperatorAugustus
This looks bitching!
FreeDOMination
Hey you should check out fairy tail for magic spell ideas.
Steffn
Kickstarter: "we wil use a name of your choosing". So there are going to be dicklord penisheads and stuff like that in the game?
saganworshipper
Bravo!
Argofuckyourself
Give it a good story and lore!
Dendrobates
This looks very cool.
Banbicoot
how can i try it?
skrizzluvspowermetal
This looks...intriguing.
CrazyCatLad
Magic throws me out but I like the setting.
HobbestheCalvinist
Efffects look clean, and I want to follow this game. Please do a D&D style campaign. Oh Please Oh Please.
kahlzun
That would be great!
SosigBakinEgsTost
Looks like cool mechanics, grain of salt warning: Landscapes look pretty bland so far.
probablyahumanperson
I definitely getting this when it comes out
DreamCatcher01
I don't know what this is but it looks very cool. Off to check out the kickstarter link now.
Momomo08
This looks really really cool!
BritishBatman
everything just looks kinda cookie-cutter to me.

#1 Fucketh this hamlet in particular.
MedicMoth
Looks amazing, but the name sucks.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Reminds me of the Force Unleashed, actually.
Verinisgettingannoyedathavingtoreselectmydamnusernameeverytime
Looks awesome, now may I suggest breakable floors? like the meteors would leave craters in dirt and stuff :)
ScrapingBottomGames
Are you talking about Geomod tech like in Red Faction? We would LOVE to be able to do that, but that's currently a limitation in Unreal :(
Verinisgettingannoyedathavingtoreselectmydamnusernameeverytime
I'll have a look at that and I have yet to see breakable floors in games. 1 day we will have it haha
kahlzun
Curious as to how this is going, nearly a year later
ScrapingBottomGames
We just released a 3 minute gameplay video and are looking towards an august release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U60Pa6hN3-s
HecticSloth
Looks really cool. I'm a sucker for all things magic in video games.
TheGuardianFox
Looks cool @OP, but are you going to balance it to include challenge, or is this more of a 'you are god' kind of game?
ScrapingBottomGames
The challenge comes from large groups of enemies hitting you, not single powerful enemies. Your health is precious as it does not regen.
TheGuardianFox
Nice, thank you for the response. I have followed the game on Twitter, and look forward to seeing how it turns out!
IAmThePermabannedAccountOfMyNameIsMrTorgue
@OP, your game is clearly "Indie" so I'm going to tell you something that almost every Indie fails at: Good controls. You need to refine-
VanDerGroot
This reminds me of an indie game that used W to jump instead of space. It was super uncomfortable.
IAmThePermabannedAccountOfMyNameIsMrTorgue
-that shit forever, @OP. You need to make the controls responsive and fun. You need to make it feel nice and look nice. It doesn't look-
IAmThePermabannedAccountOfMyNameIsMrTorgue
-nice right now, @OP, so I assume it also feels awful to play. The number 1 reason I will refund a game on Steam is shitty controls and it-
IAmThePermabannedAccountOfMyNameIsMrTorgue
-only takes me a few seconds to realize I'm going to do that, @OP. So many Indie games have shitty controls. Put time into that. A LOT of it
AbsolutelyBarbaricSarcasticBear
The gameplay looks intriguing, but the world looks very... Empty. Soulless.
NarcissusInc
It IS still in Kickstarter...
AbsolutelyBarbaricSarcasticBear
Your point? I've seen other, more compelling Alpha footage.
WhoTheFuckisGavin
What if it's in pre-alpha footage? Or Pre-pre-pre-alpha footage? Answer would prolly be wait 'til it's better but I guess they need money.
AbsolutelyBarbaricSarcasticBear
I'm just giving my first impressions, dude. Doesn't look that compelling to me.
ScrapingBottomGames
http://imgur.com/M8C4jld Don't use it on us :)
WarpPig
I'm curious as to if you'll try to greenlight it on Steam or not
ScrapingBottomGames
we are currently on greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=707703960
DongSayaDae
Meh, it didnt explode in millions of other downvotes,
DongSayaDae
On second notes - game is looking great, will be looking forward to how it is released, the magic system really feels unique and interesting
Michelicorne
Can I destroy environnements too ? Like can I burn tree to the ground and things ? I'm not a psychopath, it's for a friend...
ThatOneGuyPablo
Im a sociopath. Im his friend. Pls answer @OP. I haven't heard anything about this and am intrigued
ScrapingBottomGames
Right now trees are indestructible. We will try our best to make trees destructible.
Michelicorne
Thank you for the answer and good luck with the project, looks very cool from here !
BourbonBuck
I think there also needs to be more challenge. Maybe killing colossi with site specific attacks.
Michelicorne
Also, I like very much the idea of gameplay. It'll be cool if your studio raise up, and I think you need a tonshit more thant 30000.
Michelicorne
you know "ask a lot get more than if you asked a little" thing. Anyway. I contributed. Luck and fortune maybe on you. Enjoy if you can !
Cessepool
Can i play a female mage, or is the character a set design?
ScrapingBottomGames
We're only planning for a male character at the moment, but would love the option if we have it in the budget.
Icecreaman
Perhaps make that a Kickstarter goal? Let someone who donates a higher tier be eligible to voice the female character?
TeamAmericaWorldPolice
You have my attention, now what are your long term plans for the game? DLC expansions? Sequels? What makes me justify donating more than $60
crazycelt
Ditto
ScrapingBottomGames
Long term plan is to continue support long after launch, we want this game to kickoff our studio, and we know we have to develop good will
IAmThePermabannedAccountOfMyNameIsMrTorgue
Make the controls good. Make them really good.
FishingForConversation
Solid gamelan
bond100
Look into "insurgency" on steam. If you guys create a finished project anywhere near that level, and support it as well as they did I'll buy
ScrapingBottomGames
Will be free updates, think more of a Blizzard model than an EA model. If paid DLC it will be on the level of expansions/Witcher style
NlNENINE
solid game plan. long term support, no matter how hard and shitty it will be, is what kept old/big games alive for years. goodluck man
oVexlz
My favorite part of that statement is the Non-EA bit
Astarael1
That's a good plan, that's what I like to see. If you do well you'll have fans from a lot of us.
FortuneWriter
We talking Bungie free DLC or actual free?
Joesycop
Keep a good head like that and im sure you'll go far.
Volt1ighter
Most studios do until they are gobbled up by a bigger one
Lightlyfriedfrenchfries
Are we looking at Z*nimax and Bethesda?
dpidcoe
So is this the first game you guys have made?
HeWhoPours
with quality it seems safe to say they have experience making games, but this is the stuido they formed's first creation. fuck grammar btw
dpidcoe
eh? Looking at their about us page it doesn't mention any, which is why I was curious.
HeWhoPours
I didn't check it out, I'm just guessing the people who formed studio have experience with making games, probably just nothing big released
