Behold! The closest thing a true wizard would call a postcard. Relaxing, having a drink on a throne decorated with trophies from crushed enemies. This means things will slow down a bit in the upcoming weeks while we are getting ourselves some much needed R&R.

In Progress

So, "What else are you working on?" I hear you cry. "Where are my devblogs?" I hear you cry. Well, let me tell you! Currently in the works is a better notification system in-game when you get a random drop post match. This ties into our overall retention and player progression plans, which is still in the works, but is off practicing fireballs while we sort the necessary steps. We are also working on implementing the bots properly. We understand how important it is for you to practice at every opportunity for the weekly playdates (Tuesdays and Saturdays, 18:30 CEST) and we want to enable you to do so. This involves ironing out the AI, making them easy to add/remove from the lobby and making sure their Rockpillar is as Mighty and hard as can be. We are also giving the characters a graphical overhaul, starting with the Vagabond.
(I felt the vagabond needed a few more belts) So, as you can tell we have big stuff cooking and the alpha build is coming closer and closer! Now you go out there, relax and play some Spellsworn! Oh, and don't worry, we haven't forgotten the devlogs - we're aiming to have another one added within the next month
Check these places to keep yourself up-to-date with everything Spellsworn Homepage, Facebook, Twitter and the Discord channel[url=https://twitter.com/FrogsongStudios]. And don't forget our Playdates

Tuesdays and Saturdays 18:30 CEST

Hope to see you there! (bravely fleeing through dimension gates)

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.
