Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.197

Dear Wizards, In today's patch the main focus was about adding option to change transparency of player's spells and effects in the settings. We heard a lot of complaints about the visibility dropping while having some crazy spells and we hope that it will feel much easier to see what is going on and enemies attacks after lowering the transparency of player's spells and effects.

Added:

• [Visibility / Settings] Added option to change transparency of player's spells and effects in the settings.

Changed:

• [Visibility] Increased default transparency of player's spells and effects [30% => 40%].
• [Visibility] Lowered default transparency of enemy spells and effects [30% => 0%].

Fixed:

• [Loading] Fixed a bug where level generation could sometimes stuck at loading enemies.

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.196

Dear Wizards,

Today's patch is focused on improving performance of all explosions. They were all reworked and should have much better performance now!

Changed:

• [Performance] Reworked all explosions to improve their performance.

• [Game Feel] Increased Basic Spell's base knockback by a little bit more than 300% [3.2 => 10.0].

• [Enemies / Game Feel] It's now easier to interrupt enemies (and briefly stun them) after dealing them enough damage in a single blow. Each enemy have a separate percentage threshold, but they were lowered by 20-300% based on the enemy.

• [Enemies] Bosses now can become elites only starting from the second difficulty level.

• [Perks / Artifacts] All perks and artifacts generating currencies over time now generate them 3 seconds faster.

• [Spells] Increased explosion range of Arcane Bomb by 50%

Fixed:

• [Texts] Damage and healing texts are no longer displayed when damage/healing done is equal to 0.

Removed:

• [Visibility] Removed gravity distortion effect(visually) from Gravity Tornado and Gravity Zone spells. They were causing performance issues and with multiple of them spawned it was really difficult to read enemies attacks. These effects had sense only long time ago when there was no spells merging in the game.

• [Curses] Removed Curse of the Blind from the possible curses you can randomly gain on difficulty level 2+

Dear Wizards, Another patch today which is focused on reducing the grind. All elemental upgrades prices has been lowered. We have decided to push it today because it was really needed.

Changed:

Dear Wizards, Today's patch is mostly about QOL changes and bug fixes.

Added:

• [Visibility] Added special health bar for elite enemies.
• [QOL] Added showing Current Health at top of the right panel in inventory.
• [QOL] Added text "All unlocked items can appear on all maps. Using a newly unlocked item is a one-time bonus." at the bottom of the description when unlocking new items. There were way too many people confused about it.

Changed:

• [Cutscene] Initial cutscene no longer has texts in 2 languages displayed at once when using language other than english or chinese.

Fixed:

• [Optimization] Game should no longer lag briefly after loading the level.

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.190

Dear Wizards, Today's patch is mostly about QOL changes and bug fixes.

Added:

• [QOL] Added option to skip Astral Forge upgrade.
• [QOL] Added displaying currently selected difficulty level in the left panel of the inventory.

Changed:

• [Visibility] Danger Icon is now more visible.
• [QOL] Increased duration of exclamation mark appearing above enemies before their attacks.
• [QOL] When flying enemies get out of their patrol zone (close to their spawn point), they now return to it 5x => 10x faster. They now also start going back 20-150% sooner (based on enemy). Challenge Rooms should be more pleasant to do now.
• [Artifacts] Reduced rotation of orbs granted by Magic Orbs Booster I artifact [54% => 25%] and increased time between firing projectiles by orbs [28% => 37%].
• [Perks] Reduced rotation of orbs granted by Orb Speed Boost perk [30% / 38% / 48% / 60% => 10% / 14% / 18% / 23%] and increased time between firing projectiles by orbs [20% / 23% / 27% / 32% => 23% / 26% / 30% / 35%].

Fixed:

• [Enchantments] Fixed a bug where if your basic spell could pierce walls thanks to the Ghost Projectile enchantment, the effect was removed after collecting power transforming basic spell into laser beam.
• [Enchantments] Laser Beam now spawns all effects exactly in the aimed direction.
• [Trap Room] Game should now always properly recognize when you have exited the Trap Room. This bug was causing you to sometimes lose all lifesteal powers after exiting the Trap Room.
• [Minimap] Minimap should no longer be flickering after zooming out when using a widescreen monitor in the Astral World.
• [Challenges] It's now impossible to manually change wizard element or difficulty level when Fiery World, Icy World, Earth World or Base Power challenge is selected. If you happen to have wrong wizard or difficulty selected with this challenge active, then the game will automatically select correct wizard and difficulty level.
• [Challenges] Fixed a bug where Enchanted Orb of a wrong element could spawn with Fiery World, Icy World or Earth World challenge active. At least it didn't drop to me after the change anymore.

Removed:

• [Chests] Removed Explosive Chests which could be destroyed only using any explosion. They were too confusing for most of the players.,
• [Doors] Removed Explosive Doors which could be destroyed only using any explosion. They were too confusing for most of the players.

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.189

Dear Wizards, Today's patch is mostly about darkening background, greatly reducing knockback and doing small balance of spells. We have heard your complaints about your spells doing a lot less damage than you would like to because enemies got knocked back too far after getting hit once and thus avoiding the rest of the damage from other spells. Oh, we have also slightly nerfed goblins.

Added:

• [Visibility] Darkened background in all levels. We care about your eyes and expect to see more similar changes soon related to background decorations.

Changed:

• [Enemies] Reduced hitbox of Goblin Gladiator's shield by 16%. His helmet doesn't block projectiles anymore. Now it should be easier to deal damage to him.
• [Enemies] Reduced base healing of Goblin Shaman [81 => 65].
• [Artifacts] Reduced Magic Orbs Enlarger enlarging [50 => 35],
• [Perks] Reduced Orb Size Boost enlarging [25, 30, 35, 45] => [15, 20, 25, 30]

• [Balance] Changed tier of Demonic Burst spell [Rare => Very Rare] and increased it's base damage [24 => 28].
• [Balance] Increased base damage of Massive Earth Fist spell [31 => 33] and reduced it's knockback [22 => 13].
• [Balance] Increased base damage of Wind Burst spell [15 => 18] and reduced it's knockback [35 => 17].
• [Balance] Increased base damage of Great Fireball spell [44 => 51] and reduced it's knockback [30 => 15].
• [Balance] Increased base damage of Arcane Wave spell [14 => 18] and reduced it's knockback [34 => 11].
• [Balance] Reduced base damage of Undead Flame spell [41 => 35].
• [Balance] Reduced base damage of Explosion spell [73 => 64].
• [Balance] Reduced max knockback of Arcane Bomb spell [55 => 16].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Fireball spell [20 => 12].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of WInd Cutting Fist spell [17.5 => 8].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Lava Machine Gun spell [5.75 => 3].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Volley of Deadly Skull spell [4 => 3].
• [Balance] Increased knockback of Volley of Homing Arrows spell [0 => 3].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Volley of Ice Shards spell [4.5 => 3].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Volley of Stones spell [5.75 => 3].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Fire Rain spell [4 => 3].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Ice Arrows Rain spell [6 => 3].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Love Arrows Rain spell [4 => 3].
• [Balance] Reduced knockback of Meteor Shower spell [13 => 5].

Fixed:

• [Interactions] Removed performance issues occuring when interacting with objects. It was related to yesterday's patch and we are really sorry about the rage caused by it.
• [Enemies] Enemies will no longer refuse to play their death animation if they have died in the same frame they got frozen or petrified. This should also fix the bug of bosses "freezing" after death sometimes.
• [Saves] Fixed a bug where if you have managed to save the game while having 0 health, then you couldn't do anything after loading the save file.
• [Meta Progression] Air Arcana upgrade now displays proper text when it's not upgraded yet.

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.187

Dear Wizards, A lot of you were complaining about it so it's time for a small optimization patch! Expect to see more optimization patches in the future, especially the ones related to performance of projectiles. Improving their performance however will not be as easy since it will require me to completely rework how their work and use more advanced Unity's system so it will take me some time to develop. I'm sorry for all the issues and rage caused by FPS drops. This is our top priority right now to improve it.

Added:

• [Music] Background music is now muted after changing the game's window.
• [Settings] Added support for 5120 x 1440 resolution.

Changed:

• [Performance] Reduced maximum amount of spawned damage/healing texts [infinite => 40].
• [Performance] Lightning Strike, Zeus Rage and Zeus Wand now deal damage every 0.05 => 0.15 seconds (their total damage is unchanged).

Fixed:

• [Performance] Improved performance of spells sounds. All spells sounds are now limited since they were causing big performance issues. Now spells like for example Lightning Strike should have much better performance!

Removed:

• [Performance] Removed healing effect (only visual part). It was problematic because with too much healing (even with simple combo like Zeus Wand + Shamanic Spellbook it could cause FPS drop).
• [Performance] Removed lights from spells like Lightning Strike, Spore Zone and from effects when projectiles are destroyed.

• [Quests] Fixed a bug where window with quest details was sometimes impossible to close.
• [Windowed Mode] Player no longer walks on it's own after clicking outside the game's window in windowed mode. There are still some problems with this logic however and this will be further looked at in later patches.

Dear Wizards, As a main developer of An Amazing Wizard, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank every single one of you who have played the game and enjoy it despite its flaws. There are over 1000 of you already and it makes me insanely happy!

We need your feedback

We are here to listen to all your feedback and feel free to share anything you like or don't like in Steam Discussions, Review or in our official Discord. I try to respond as quickly as possible and I'm making notes about what should be fixed ASAP. Expect to see the first bug fixing / QOL patch later today! This is just the beggining of our Early Access journey and we want to make the game as good as possible for you all.

How is that possible?

For everyone interested, I would like you to know that this game is a result of me working in my spare time after daily job for over 6 years and over 9000 hours spent on it. That being said, we will do everything we can to improve the gaming experience.

Visual Issue

Some of you have mentioned visibility problems or little cohesion between different biomes or enemies. The difference in quality between them is result of something very simple. All game art was made by just 1 pixel artist who didn't had as much experience 4 years ago, when he started making art for this game, as he has now. That's why some parts of the game look way better visually than others. We will be doing some improvements to it later during Early Access. P.S. I love seeing the game being compared to Dead Cells or Noita and watching positive reaction from streamers. Thank you everyone who help the game being noticed by as many people as possible.
