Hotfix
Greetings Dice Slingers,

This hotfix addresses the issue resulting in a black screen when ending the game and entering the summary screen when playing in languages other than english.

Apologies to those who have been affected.

Update 2: “Dreams of the Void"

Greetings Dice Slingers,



Today we are releasing the second update for SpellRogue! We added a brand new elite encounter in the Void: Behold the Dreamweaver, a nightmarish entity born in the unfathomable depths of cosmic oblivion. Legends speak of their ability to manifest lifebonded imitations of their prey, so take caution as you venture into the depths.


We also reworked and rebalanced enemies and added several new group constellations of enemies. Additionally the update includes new content in the form of Spells, Artifacts and Events, as well as balance changes and bug fixes.


For upcoming updates we are planning to take another pass on some existing gameplay systems. First of all we will be evaluating Rituals, as most of them doesn’t as work very well as combo pieces. So expect changes and maybe even reworks in this area for the next update!
We are planning to post an updated roadmap later this week, where we will further discuss our plans.

A note about localization: We are sorry for the lack of translations for a few texts in the game right now - we are planning to make a hotfix with everything translated in the coming week!
For future updates this should go a bit smoother.

Anyway, here are all the juicy details!:

Examples of new Spells available in your runs.

If you didn’t catch the Living Roadmap we posted last week, this update is just a small step in our plans. Future updates will in general be larger, as we start implementing some of the bigger features and mechanics.

Early Access Living Roadmap
Greetings Dice Slingers!

Tim & Thorbjørn here - a huge thanks to everyone who has been playing our game! We are very happy with how the launch has been going, and thrilled to see so many people engaging and enjoying SpellRogue - thank you for all of the love ❤️!

Today we are lifting the veil on our plans for the game in the coming months. Note that this “Living Roadmap” will be adjusted and extended over time as our priorities shift.


We are purposely keeping the roadmap a little vague as we like to continuously reevaluate what is most important for the game. Each line is not necessarily in sequential order nor an update each, but it should provide a general overview of how we are going to develop SpellRogue going forward.

As always, we will continue talking directly with the community and listening to your feedback and ideas, so please let us know what you think on the Steam forums or directly on the SpellRogue Discord!

In other news, we are currently working on the first proper update to the game. The update will mostly address a lot balance issues and bugs, but also add a some new content in the form of a couple of new Spells, Artifacts and Events.


Experimental new Void Spell (and minor redesign of Stygian).

It is not going to be a huge update, but we felt it was important to quickly address some of the (balance) issues you all have been finding. We expect to release it on Steam early next week.

Hotfix #1 - 0.9.0b40
Greetings dice slingers,

It has been great seeing all of you enjoying SpellRogue!

We have just pushed Hotfix #1. This first small update is mainly addressing some minor issues and adding some requested features and resolution options. As a result, some of you may need to change screen resolutions again in the settings, apologies in advance!

Hotfix #1 - 0.9.0b40


General



  • Added button to reset progress (in settings → general)
  • Added wide screen resolutions in graphics menu.

    Note that some minor graphical issues may appear in combat with a couple of enemies being too tall when playing in widescreen. We are looking into this issue, but it should pose no gameplay issue for now.

Bugs



  • Fixed clicking empty shard panel picking up invisible shard
  • Fixed dice able to be pulled out of queued up insertion and re-used for multiple spells
  • Fixed achievement “spend 20 dice in countdown spell”
  • Fixed “Inspect Mode” in combat not working in some cases
  • Fixed Giant’s Pouch not updating shop prices in current shop
  • Fixed Overcharge Crystal damage
  • Fixed a few cases of bad/missing translations

Early Access on February 12th!
Greetings Dice Slingers,


Good news! SpellRogue is being released into Early Access on February 12th!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1990110/SpellRogue/

Check out the Early Access Trailer below:



We are extremely excited to finally release SpellRogue into Early Access. The game has been developed together with our community for more than 3 years at this point and we're incredibly grateful for everyone who has helped shape SpellRogue into what it is today. We are equally excited to open the floodgates and invite everyone to join us, as we continue to make SpellRogue bigger and better!

As a side note we are taking down the SpellRogue Demo a week ahead of the Early Access release. We are doing this since the Demo is a few months old and no longer represents a slice of the full game. It also means that we can focus entirely on the Early Access release instead!

See you on the 12th of February!

SpellRogue Development Blog #3
Greetings Spellslingers, Tim here!

First off, development is going great and Thorbjørn and I are pumped to pretty soon announce the Early Access release date for SpellRogue! Although our aim was January 2024, we realised we need a few more weeks to get all of our ducks (and spells) in a row. We promise it won’t be long though!

To tide you over during the wait, I’ll quickly cover some of the things we have worked on during the last few months:

The art department (aka yours truly) have been busy polishing Act 3 and creating its inhabitants. The new creatures are arguably the most unique designs yet, so look forward to experiencing the weird and creepy Voidwalkers from the dark beyond.

The Cosmic Spirit will transform itself unless interrupted.

I also finished creating graphics- and animations of all of the 71 Earth Wizard’s spells that are currently in the game. I think Earth magic is shaping up really nice and can’t wait to show you more of the custom art for each spell!

Doubling your power pairs well with multi-attacks!

Meanwhile, Thorbjørn has been busy designing and implementing a slew of features. The world map algorithm has been rewritten, supporting more interesting choices and random events have been (re-)implemented for some unusual choices with unique rewards.

An example of how event choices can have unusual costs.

He is also adding support for translations into other languages (note that we will only support a few different languages on launch), and reworked and improved a bunch of different UI menus.

During these next few weeks we are finalising the last bits, fixing bugs and balancing the game, so we can make sure SpellRogue leaves a great first impression!

Finally, we will be participating in the gaming expo “Copenhagen Gaming Week” on the 12th-14th of January at the Bella Center. So if you’re nearby, come play SpellRogue and chat with us. We will be hanging out at our booth in the Up and Coming section.

Watch Tim play the Spellrogue Demo!
Greetings Dice Slingers,

We hope you’re enjoying the demo! Watching so many of you sling dice has been an amazing experience, and we’re hard at work getting the game ready to roll for Early Access in January 2024. If you’re wondering what we’re planning to add, you can check out our roadmap.

During Next Fest, you’ll be able to watch Tim play the game himself while talking about the game and its development. Thorbjørn unfortunately couldn’t make it, he was busy working. We have a launch window, you know.

Truth be told, we had to record this stream in advance – so we may not answer any questions in chat, but we’d be happy to answer questions if you post them in our Discord. Please join and throw any comments our way, we’d love to hear them! Plus, you’d get to roll with other SpellRogue players over there.

Hope to see you at one of the dev streams and on Discord.

May your dice roll true.

Tim and Thorbjørn
