Hey everyone! Since I'm not too great at programming I did the art for another developer's project. I made all of the art for Devin, who is a very talented game developer who you can follow on twitter @DevinColeSG. Please show him some love!
Wraithslayer on Steam

A single procedurally generated boss battle in a nightmarish abstract horror world.

Wraithslayer takes place in an abstract horror world where the player is bound to a single fight against a monstrosity known as a Wraith. Dodging the Wraith's relentless attacks while collecting orbs to weaken your foe will provide a nightmarish and challenging battle.

• Simple controls. There's only jump, dash, and dive. You'll have to be creative with your movement if you want to defeat the Wraith.
• Procedurally generated AI. The Wraith randomly picks from a wide array of moves to demolish you, making each fight very different.
• Dark silhouette art style. Explore the many ways you can die through the pulsating darkness of the Wraith and its lair.
• Multiple Game Modes. Normal, Endless, and True Wraith game modes provide varying levels of difficulty and high replayability.

Magicite v2.0 (Final Update)

Hey all! I know it's been 10 years since the last update but here it is. I went through all of the code and cleaned up a bunch of things, making the game run smoother in both single player and multiplayer. I've also added the final companion unlock as well as a brand new mode!

-Added Madman Mode (Warning: Only for strong-willed Magicite Veterans!)
-Added 4th Age Droid [New Companion]
-Trees/Ores/Bugspots/Itemstands/Enemies/etc. now drop items LOCALLY for every player, lessening the network load a ton and also makes sure everyone gets an equal amount of loot!
-EXP/Gold are also dropped locally as well, making network a lot smoother.
-You can now select your traits rather than having to pray to RNGesus.
-Added various sound effects.
-Added awesome new Inventory/Crafting textures.
-Inventory can be opened with R or TAB keys.
-You can't spam W to skip biomes wtf u cheaters.
-Spirit Race stats have been changed from [HP+5, ATK+15] to [HP+7, ATK+3]
-Optimized networking code a lot more.
-Mysterious Potion now heals for 10 HP, 10 Mana, or just throws a poison vial.
-Big Mysterious Potion now heals for 15 HP, 15 Mana, or just throws a poison vial.
-Laser Crossbow no longer only deals 1 damage.
-Wooden Club now gives 18 ATK.
-Fairies now have 90 hp, 4 atk, and move faster.
-Throwing Axe now deals half damage.
-Flame of Hope now only gives you 1 point to a random stat upon levelling up.

Thank you all so much for the support for my games. Magicite was my very first PC game that I made when I was a junior in college, and I never thought it would achieve such a massive following. It exceeded my wildest dreams and solidified my passion for the world of indie game development.

BUT it also threw me into a crazed depression for quite a bit of time.

This is the final update for Magicite. As a 1 man dev team I need to move on to bigger and better things. It's okay if you hate me for it, and as I've said before on reddit and on Steam, I'll always provide refunds to players who feel that they've been cheated of their money regardless of playtime on Steam. YOU as the player should hold all of the power over us developers, and it is our job to make games that are fun and worth their price tag.

But guys I can't work on this game anymore. I need to grow as a game developer and I need to challenge myself with new ideas. There could be 100 more updates made to Magicite and I could keep refining it into better and better versions of itself, but it would still just be Magicite. I would be miserable. I've learned so much during the past couple of years and I'm itching to flex my programming and art skills a little more. For my sanity, I NEED to pursue my new ambitious ideas.

So I hope for $9.99, $4.99, or whatever you've paid for Magicite, it has been worth it. I've watched tons of your guys' videos on youtube and I've seen the heart-pounding chaotic fun in my dangerous world of Deephaven. I hope these moments hold a special place in your heart, because they certainly do for me.

So really, thank you so much again for your support. I hope to impress all of you with the big projects I have planned in the coming years.

Love,
-Sean

P.S. Please post any new bugs from this update since I'm good at making them. I'll be releasing hotfixes over the next couple of days.

Hey all! This is the big multiplayer fix update. I decided to stuff some goodies into this update as well. There's a new race, unlocked only by defeating a new secret boss that is even harder than the Scourge Wall !

Bug Fixes
-HUGE improvements in Multiplayer/Lag.
-Disabled the observation of position/rotation in non-moving objects over the network.
-Rigidbodies of Player Objects are now kinematic if not owned, preventing clients from battling for the correction position of player objects.
-Final boss no longer just disappears upon being killed, added a proper death animation.

Gameplay
Added the Spirit Race!
Added optional boss Spirit Knight Axelark III
Added Spirit Gem
Added Jared's Bear Helm(Unlocked with Cheat Code)
Fire bow nerfed from x2 to x1.25 damage
Scourge Wall now shoots twice as many projectiles with varying speeds

Magicite has really come a long way, and I have all of you to thank for it! I'm really excited by this whole secret boss thing, so if you guys have any other cool ideas for new tough secret bosses please post them below!

As always, thanks a lot for your support.

I've been hard at work trying to fix a lot of the multiplayer issues some players are having...

... And I think I've finally fixed them! Quick Unity lesson incoming:

You see in the Unity Game Engine, objects use what are called "Network Views" to send data over the internet such as position, rotation, etc.

All network instantiated objects must have a network view in order for connected players to see and interact with them. So objects such as trees, ores, grass, bug catching spots, and even enemies all have network views.

And on these network views, you can select a component of the object to constantly watch and update over the network. HERE'S THE BUG: For every object in the game, including NON-MOVING objects, I was constantly sending their positions and rotations over the internet. Every. Tree. And. Ore... All of those objects do not need to be constantly sending data to connected players, so I disabled all of that!

So that has been fixed, and multiplayer should see a huge improvement in 1.6.

All this week I'll be fine tuning random stuff, and adding some exciting new items/gear/secrets for you all.

Thanks for your support,

Hey all! I've been really putting a lot of my time into developing Roguelands, but I think it's time for a Magicite update!

I'll be streaming on Twitch once my microphone and video card gets here. The purpose of the stream is to show the whole process for making enemies and items with pixel art, and how I go about animating in blender.

I'll be taking suggestions for enemies and items, so follow me on twitch so you don't miss the stream! All the cool things I make will go into the next update for Magicite.

http://www.twitch.tv/seanyoung92

I will be answering any questions regarding game development, too. If you have any interest at all at making your own games, especially with Unity, you're gonna want to check this out! As for the date, I'll post here and on all the social media sites when I decide on a day to do it.

Happy holidays and as always, thanks for the amazing support!

Hey everyone! Had to redo quite a bit of code in order to get altars to work correctly with stats. Now when you arrive in towns, there is a 30% chance you'll find an altar for a god. You may pay some gold for a chance at a major buff or perhaps something not so nice :D

Hey all! Got some new unlockable races and companions for ya. I recently took a trip to Seattle with my buddies, so I haven't been able to do as much developing.

I'll try to fit as much as I can into 1.1 but you can definitely expect the new and unlockable COMPANIONS!!! I think I can launch sometime this weekend but you know me I may be a day or two behind.

Keep on being awesome!!
