CodeSpells is in Early Access, so not all planned features have been implemented. The current version includes Earth, Water, Fire, and Air magic, as well as 5 multi-player minigames and a procedurally generated sandbox creative mode. *Note: multiplayer is still in an early alpha state and requires port forwarding and local hosting.---When we were young, wizards like Gandalf and Dumbledore struck a chord in our minds. We spent hours pretending to be wizards and casting epic imaginary spells. We wanted to see these fantasies fully realized, so we created CodeSpells. CodeSpells combines the creative freedom of imagination with the beauty and interactivity of video games. The secret sauce? Coding. Instead of limiting players to pre-packed spells, we allow our players see the real magic that happens under the hood of most games. Through Javascript or the intuitive, kid-friendly visual tool Blockly, CodeSpells lets everyone craft the magic of their dreams.Ignite blazing wildfires, drain entire seas, turn the elements into a force field around you, or just blow stuff up - the choice is yours!PLANNED FEATURES:*Ability for players to use multiplayer servers in the cloud to play with friends (rather than using their own PC as a server).*Life Magic: (Final Kickstarter Stretch Goal) We’re going to make more robust ecosystems and interactions with the lifeforms of CodeSpells.*Coding Tutorial: After getting great feedback from our beta testers on Steam, we’ve decided to revamp our code windows in order to make them as intuitive as humanly possible. This includes built-in aid for trying to craft your own games within CodeSpells, like the 5 multi-player minigames we have provided. *We might create a small campaign mode where players can test their skills by protecting the fading fragments of the CodeSpells universe, but this is a dream feature, and last on our list. Our primary purpose is to deliver on our Kickstarter goals, and make the best procedurally-generated spell-crafting sandbox the world has ever seen.We are so grateful for everyone’s help in making CodeSpells as magical as we all want it to be. We hope you will continue to give us feedback on Steam and on the Forums as we bear down on the final product.---See what else we're making at Multi-Dimensional Games by visiting our website.

Nightly build out -- version 0.912
Survival 1) The ways that spawns would show up at night was annoying. They would show up behind you sometimes, and seemed too random and unexpected. Now meteors come from mysterious location, and crash near you. These create portals from which a limited number of croakers spawn. This should also take care of the frame rate issues you get when you have too many monster spawns on scene. (Also added a really cool screenshake effect here for the impact) 2) Increased the amount of life mana you start with. It seemed too difficult prior to this. 3) Removed night-time monster spawning from Sandbox. 4) Monsters now may target your towers with spells, or attacks. This currently doesn't mean much, since the spells cast aren't physically disruptive, and towers have to be 'toppled' to be destroyed. Misc UX 1) Made some of the tutorial chats from the staff less frequent. They were too much. 2) Added in healthbars to monsters, so it's more plain to see their life mana. 3) Made spells be able to 'spawn' prefabs.

Here are the build's changes: Gameplay: -Survival mode (currently it's 'roguelike', but the plan is to make the experience more like survival sim where you can save your world) -Limited-shot spells (for placing towers, and studying spells on scannable things) -NPC chat system (your staff talks to you and gives you advice) -Made more environment things destructible Audio: -Footstep/attacking sounds for Croakers and Rock Beasts. -Ambience sounds -NPC chat sounds Performance: -We got rid of dynamic water. It was slowing things down at certain times quite a bit. -Fixed a performance bug having to do with the death 'nether'

CodeSpells Version 0.904 -- Nightly/Default Branch
This version rebases both the nightly, or default branches of CodeSpells. At this version they are on in the same. In this version we are taking a step back with multiplayer. One of the things we did was changing out the ui engine to make development easier in the long run. In doing so, we chose to regress multiplayer since the veins of multiplayer were intertwined with the old ui system. We want to rebuild multiplayer to be peer-to-peer rather than peer-to-server anyhow. Therefore, we opted to remove multiplayer features at this point rather than rebuilding them within the new ui framework. In addition to that change, we made the following: More interesting creature interaction: -Creatures can be slammed into the ground, and will be dealt damage based on collisions (Before, certain like the ground would not cause damage to creatures) -New rocky giant creature, which has a ragdoll Bugs: -Optimizations making the sandbox run faster -Staffs not seeming to be equipped properly bug fixed -Lost spells bug fixed Server Changes: -The server for logging in/out rebuilt to talk with the new UI framework -The server no longer hosts multiplayer, as we are moving toward peer-to-peer connection

1st CodeSpells Tournament Results
HalfBloodPrince was also awesome enough to share some words with us about his CodeSpells experience so far: [quote=HalfBloodPrince]For a while now I could not find any game that would instantly interest me. I am a big fan of games that allow wide range of customisation, either to the character, abilities, play style, etc. Besides I love games where the character has wacky abilities and always wished I could customise them and/or make my own. And that is where CodeSpells comes in - a game that combined my (basic) knowledge of coding and fun aspect seeing your code in action is a pure joy. Playing CodeSpells feels like a simulating strategy game that requires thought and problem solving skills, but is also a fun fast-paced third person action game. I think these two aspects combined make this game so great for me and many others who enjoy being challenged and stimulated by the games. It is an absolute keeper for me.[/quote] You can check out all the tournament footage on Youtube here! And of course, BIG THANKS to the organizers, moderators, and judges for making this tournament happen! @7Leven @Burgy @Amulgagar Keep an eye out for future Wizard Tournaments! This definitely will not be the last!
