The second part of the gamescom update is here and it should include all of the changes I wanted to do after hearing your opinions. Thanks again to anyone who played and gave feedback.

Gamescom update part 1
At gamescom I got a bunch of feedback that I want to include into the game and this is the first batch of bugfixes / improvements from gamescom.


  • Fixed Bug that would make wasd not work on stop enemies from spawning
  • Added icons to map and mini map, to give you a better overview
  • Increased movement speed while out of combat
  • Level up now gives you full life
  • Cleaned interactions a little bit


There are still a bunch of things missing including the removal of the locked camera during combat, because this is a bigger change I decided to first publish this update. The next one should come in the next couple of weeks. Thanks to anyone who came around, I had a great time.

School of Magic will be at Games 2022
I am going to show School of Magic at this years gamescom and I am really excited. To celebrate I created a new Trailer and I am giving away Will Glow the Wisp for free if enough people Wishlist School of Magic.
Here is how the event works

  • 10 000 wishlist for School of Magic means that the price for Will Glow the Wisp drops from 2.99$ to 1.99$
  • 15 000 wishlist drops the price to 0.99$
  • 20 000 wishlists for School of Magic makes Will Glow the Wisp free
  • The price will change either by the end of the Gamescom (Aug 28th 23:00 CET) or after 20 000 wishlists have been hit. Keep in mind that Valve still needs to process the request so expect a slight delay, after the event is over.


So if you want to get Will Glow the Wisp for free go and Wishlist School of Magic and just wait 😉
