- The New Wardens Have Arrived! - 22 June 2017
The New Wardens The big update is finally here, four new Wardens to choose from. Even more reason to return to the Realms and stop the Wild Magic! http://media.indiedb.com/images/games/1/36/35349/NewWardensBnner.png The Chicken Air Magic. Fire Magic. Water Magic. Cursed. Double Jump. (For Intermediate Players.) http://www.hugebot.com/images/gifs/characters/air/ChickenRunEnlarged.gif For the new Air Warden I wanted a very vertical character. Flying would be obviously overpowered, but double jump? Turns out it's pretty strong, too. That's why this Warden starts out Cursed! The Meerkat Earth Magic. Fire Magic. Water Magic. Can't Attack. Earth Summons cost one less gem to cast. (For Beginning Players.) http://media.indiedb.com/images/games/1/36/35349/Meerkat.gif OK, let's just get it out of the way, this Warden is cute.

- Small Update v1.41 - 22 December 2016
Small Update v1.41 A few small tweaks to even out the game for the holidays. The Level 1 difficulty has just been made a touch harder. With a better tutorial, people understand the game better and I felt the Level 1 was much easier than intended. So, I've removed the starting key and one starting Gem. It may be too easy still, but it should be closer. Ranged characters get a bit more nerfing. There range has been cut down by about 25%. But should make them more balanced compared to others. Most of this fix those is focused on the tutorial. It's long. So I cut it down by about 30%. Two sections were merged to make it more streamlined. Plus two of the later sections were completely removed. I believe the tutorial is now shorter, but still very effective. And will hopefully be less off putting to new players.

- Small Update v1.40 - 2 November 2016
Small Update v1.40 This update focused on two things AI fixes and ranged character fixes. The origin for characters have been moved so they have a better chance of finding targets. I also widened their active range, so if you see them they will likely give chase. Ranged characters can no longer damage Barracks, don't cause hit animations, and now stop on hitting any other object. This should bring the power level of ranged characters down quite a bit. Modified range for Blue Bird, Fox Tracker, and Gila Monster. Ranged attacks not effective vs Barracks. Ranged attacks stop on hit. Ranged attacks don't cause a hit animation. A few tutorial tweaks. Fixed Fencing Woodpecker. Opened up AI range check. Enemies don't slow so much when nearing for combat.
