Calling All Wizards: Update News and Character Creator Support Needed! ✨
Good Day fellow students of Greifenstein! 👋
With this update, we focused on improving the early-game experience and adjusting the game’s balancing to make combat more fun and rewarding. We mainly wanted to achieve this by making all the different spells and sandbox mechanics be worthwhile to use during combat.
Calling All Wizards: Our Free Character Creator Needs Your Support! 🧙🏾❤️
We want to be honest with you 😊, there is only one drawback: We need about 7000 wishlists within two weeks. If we can do that, it will have a huge impact on the future of the game.
✨ It will allow for even better support for the main game and increased quality for future updates!
⬇️ Here's how you can help make that happen!⬇️
1️⃣ Wishlist the Character Creator NOW: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2114580/Spells__Secrets__Character_Creator/ 2️⃣ Send the Character Creator to your friends to wishlist. 3️⃣ Make your favorite content creator aware of the Character Editor and Spells & Secrets. Feel free to give them our mail (bonnie@rokaplay.com) and we will send them a key for both games.
Thank you all for helping! ❤️ You are the best wizard community! ❤️🧙 Your Spells & Secrets Team.
PS: Of course you are welcome to use the free character creator for your profile picture! 😃
