I just wanted to give a big thanks to all of you who have supported our launch! Of course, launching the game is only the first step. There is still a lot to do! I've gotten a lot of great feedback the last few days and I wanted to get out some fixes for you. Some of the fixes are going to require larger changes and will have to wait for the next major patch. As always, if you have a suggestion or a problem you come across be sure to contact me on the forum or our discord!

Spoxel has been released!
What a long strange trip it has been! After 7 years, two rewrites, and more hours and bug fixes than I would like to count Spoxel is now release on Steam. I made Spoxel in part because games like Terraria didn't cut it for me. I wanted a game where I could design spells or make custom gear and that didn't exist at the time. In that time I've gotten married, changed jobs, moved cities, and had two amazing kids. As I've grown so too has Spoxel. I don't think I can point to a single part of it that hasn't been rewritten or revamped since I started this project. Just because we have released doesn't mean that the journey is over! We still have a lot of free content patches in the pipe!

Patch Notes - 1.0.0.1

Exposed more variables to the dedicated server config
Internet games will also now add any registered dedicated servers
Added the dedicated server to the steam build system
Added Mod.io support into the launcher
Changed log levels for release
Added more achievements! More are coming in future patches.

It has been a long time coming, but this is the last major content patch before release! I expect there will be one more patch before release but it will only contain bug fixes and low risk balance changes. I have a pretty extensive post release content plan so be sure to hop on discord with any feedback.

The open beta will end right before the game goes live.

There is a lot of work to be done in this area but, as always, your feedback is greatly appreciated.

If you have some time and can take a quick two quest survey... please be sure to go here and fill it out. I'm looking into changes to how spells are built as well as future content development.

Here are the current patch notes, and as always i'll be available on Discord if you have any feedback or if you run into any bugs.

0.6.8.4

• Bug: Fixed an issue where the map wouldn't position correctly in full screen
• Updated to lwjgl3
