Release Notes (v1.0)
Launch day!!
Wooooh! It took awhile, but the 1.0 release is finally here. After two years in Early Access we finally wrapped it up. You can see the patch notes below, but besides that there were also lots of graphical upgrades and hundreds of bug fixes. Please report any bugs you see with F11 at the main menu.
Thanks to everybody who supported me on the journey, especially my mom. I've added most of the people who helped me play-test into the credits - they were integral to designing the game and I'm very thankful for them.
Patch Notes
- Introducing the new Dragon Tamer guild, adding a fresh layer of strategy and power to your arsenal.
- Explore the possibilities with Augments, allowing you to customize your run and enhance your magical abilities.
- Continue your wizardly journey beyond Day 6, facing increasingly formidable enemies with no additional progression.
- Immerse yourself in a visually stunning world with a graphics overhaul that breathes new life into the game.
- Experience re-balanced enemies, especially the final boss, for an even more challenging and rewarding showdown.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy the game!

WizardPunk's Future
However, I'm not going to complete the game unless I see some interest in the next couple weeks. That could come in the form of reviews, or just likes and comments on posts like this. It'll be on sale this week at it's biggest discount yet, so if I don't see people interested now in continued development, then that will be it. Either way, the development team (me, myself, and I) are very honored to have even gotten to the point of selling copies of the game in the triple digits. I've always dreamed of opening my own game studio, and this is definitely a chapter in my journey towards that. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to those that have bought and played it!
Cheers,
Keith
Road to 1.0 Launch
Here's what's coming:
Dragon Tamer Guild (WIP)
Spell Augments (WIP)
Spell Creator (WIP)
And lots of bits of polish to make the gameplay nice and juicy, as well as lots of bug fixes.
Excited to launch a "complete" game (is any game ever really complete?), especially after the 3 on-and-off years I've been working on this. Look forward to seeing at least a couple people play it (please god don't let it be zero people who play). And as for the future of WP, it all depends on if it's successful at launch. If enough people like it, then I'd be happy to work on it some more. Otherwise, you'll see me again on the next project!
Cheers,
Keith

Small Patch - v0.71 - Aesthetic Updates
- Made the days brighter and the nights darker.
- Improved visuals for a few levels.
- Fixed a few minor bugs.
Patch Notes - Version 0.70 - "Lich Update"
- New enemy! Meet the lich on day 6.
- Lich comes with unique primary/secondary/homing/ultimate/utility.
- Can now beat the game! Day 6 is the final day. Rewards for doing so coming next patch.
Aesthetic Upgrades
- New art for character portraits.
- Re-worked a bunch of textures for improved visuals.
Quality of Life
- Spell upgrades are now displayed when hovering the upgrade button in adventure mode.
- Can now rest from pre-match screen.
- Now showing relics in pre-match screen.
- Skips player intros for default wizard fights now.
Bug Fixes
- (Sid) Can't print money with controller in spell shop anymore.
- (Sid) Can't go beyond max upgrade level in upgrade shop anymore.
- (Sid) Collecting more than one plant in a match goes towards alchemist quest reward.
- (Sid) Big building no longer blocking view on left-hand side of Overworld.
- Fixed character intros.
- Could make a potion with only one ingredient.
- Mouse no longer disappears in settings menu with local multiplayer.
Balancing
- Changed Aqua's and Vito's secondary moves to do less damage but launch the enemy into the air (for easier combos with their primary moves).
- Nerfed Arcane Whirlpool to die earlier and thus deal less damage overall.
- Nerfed the Slavery Potion to only imprison opponent for 5 seconds (too annoying to fight against).
- Fixed fireball level 3 to actually explode on impact.
News on Next Update
- Will finally be able to win the tournament! There will be a final boss, and probably some adventure mode updates to make the experience more re-playable (I'm thinking the final boss will be on day 6 so it should take about 1-2 hrs for each run).
- Lots more information on spell upgrades (the exact details shown for what is upgraded)
- Lots of nerfs/buffs to particular spells to make everything more balanced. In particular, Aqua's secondary will now be a knock-up, Arc's secondary will be getting nerfed, and there will probably be changes in store for Vito who I think has the weakest kit right now).
- Improved visuals. I recently learned a photoshop trick that I can apply on most of the textures in the game to "normalize" their look, which is part of a plan to make the game much more consistent looking.
And that's about all for now. I've also been working on a small game about cognitive behavioral therapy. If that's interesting to you, feel free to reach out, would love to chat about it. Also, I got rid of the game's discord for now. There wasn't much interest/activity in it, so it wasn't worth the effort/time involved sadly. See you in the next update!
Cheers,
Keith
