Hello weary traveler!

This occult document clearly dictates the gravity ball was very, as the scholars put it, "Totally OP" and needed addressing.
Thusly time has come for another update with fixes and tweaks! Let's get right into the change log. Change log 0.5.7

• Removed memory leak that created massive lag in high player matches
• Changed Steering modifier from 0.4 to 0.5
• Adapted GUI to fit different resolutions and aspect ratios
• Fixed bug where bookcases could be moved with dimension gate
• Removed "white square issue" on level icon.
• Added scrolling to chat window (activate chat and use scroll-wheel to scroll)
• Reworked Gravity Ball
  • Lowered speed
  • Removed ending explosion
  • Tweaked pull force
  Tweaked the falling tablets on Codex
  • Hit Area from 400 to 275
  • Knockback from 5000 to 2000
  • Added a warning decal
  • Increased warning sound volume

With one of the largest lag-build ups fixed, we will focus the next update on improving and bugg fixing spells! We might even have time to make a new one!
In closing I want to remind you of our weekly play dates: Tuseday & Thursday , 17:00-18:00 (UTC+01:00) and our IRC channel on Quakenet , and the Discord channel. (a HUGE "Thank you" for setting them up!) ...and never forget what pillar is the best pillar!
Please check us out on the rest of the internet, and let us know what you think! Our Homepage, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit Hope to meet you in the arena! (Cowering proudly behind my pillar)

Spellsworn is an Online Player vs. Player Arena Game. It is a place where wizards and magical creatures use their wits and spells to wage war in an everchanging arena. Prove yourself in the arena and battle with all who dare call themselves your peers. Victory and pride outweighs reason and diplomacy, thus any debate between wizards is indistinguishable from outright warfare. Alliances will be broken, lives will be lost and the world will crumble. Will you remain, towering over the ashes?

Spellsworn is heavily inspired by classic arena games such as DotA, League of Legends, Super Smash Bros. and traditional sumo-wrestling. Most of all however; Spellsworn is inspired by the user-created mod Warlock, made in Warcraft III.

• Spells

Each round you, the spellsworn, will recieve some coins to fund your battle. A shop stocked full of spells will serve as your arsenal as you prepare for the next battle round. It's imperative that you choose your spells carefully, as they may be completely countered by your enemy if you're not careful. There's very little grace to be had when standing with your pants down and no way of counterattacking your enemy's barrage of destruction.

• Game modes

There's plenty of ways to play Spellsworn. If you enjoy playing in teams and making up sick combos and rediculous plays with friends then maybe 2v2, 3v3 or 2v2v2 is for you. If you're more of a strong independent lonewolf then 1v1 is also fully supported (including all of the FFA variations, i.e 1v1v1v1 and so on). In the future we're hoping to include workshop support for your own scripted gamemodes and playstyles.

• Matchmaking and progression

Spellsworn will definitely have a competitive side to it - which means ranked plays and matchmaking is a must. It will likely follow the Elo standard that is used in many established e-sports games today. There will be a leveling system as well which will progress as you complete matches. Stats will be recorded during each session so that you can follow your progression along and track how well you're doing compared to past games.
