Release Notes for An Amazing Wizard

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.200

Dear Wizards,

It's time for the third content update of the Early Access! In the last announcement I mentioned adding dev log about what's coming next, but have decided to make an update instead.

Alchemist NPC has been added who sells random powerful potions like for example increasing spells merging chance, damage dealt, number or perk rerolls and many more! There are a little bit more than 100 potions which he can sell. Besides that we have added 4 new enemies.

This update took longer than we have anticipated because the only pixel artist working on the game has recently moved from Venezuela to Brasil. Because of that he was not working for about a month time.

In the next update we plan to add many Magic Weapons so there will be a lot more available in the pool, especially in the early game when you haven't unlocked them yet. That's why the next update will also happen after few more months.

Added:

[Meta Progression] Added Alchemist NPC who sells random powerful potions in the Astral World and between levels. There are 100+ different potions which he can sell.
[Enemies] Added 4 new enemies - Troll, Lizardman Hunter, Manticore and Leshen are ready to fight you!
[Spells] Added 3 new spells - Dragon’s Call, Elemental Spear and Bone Spikes.

Changed:

[Spells] Ancient Awakening spell now can also summon troll and leshen.
[Spells] Pact of Exile spell now can also summons the lizardman hunter.
[Spells] Abyssal Call spell now can also summons the manticore.
[Enemies] Harpist Lamia can no longer spawn in the Void.

Fixed:

[Spells] Call of Carrion now correctly displays summons duration instead of always displaying it as 1.

P.S. If you have just 5 minutes of free time, please write a review about our game. It will cost you nothing and will help us greatly!

0.5.199 Early Access (2025-10-21)

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.199

Dear Wizards,

It's time for the second content update of the Early Access! There are 4 new enemies waiting for you. Go and perish these beasts!

Added:

[Enemies] Added 4 new enemies - Demonic Harpy, Glacial Warden, Buried Nightmare and Electric Spider are ready to fight you!
[Spells] Added 4 new spells.
[QOL] The default challenge text is no longer displayed on your 5+ run.

Changed:

[Spells] Changed tier of Swamp King spell from Rare to Very Rare.
[Enemies] Rotten Nightmare can no longer spawn in the Void.
[Enemies] All new enemies can now temporarily spawn in the Void.
[Perks] (Air/Chaos/Earth/Fire/Ice/Lightning) Orb Essence Perks now have a cap of giving up to +100% increased damage based on the amount of owned orbs instead of up to infinite amount.
[Astral Upgrades] (Air/Chaos/Earth/Fire/Ice/Lightning) Orb Essence Astral Upgrades now have a cap of giving up to +100% increased damage based on the amount of owned orbs instead of up to infinite amount.

Fixed:

[Enemies] Fixed a bug where sometimes the wrong death particles were spawn after killing an enemy.
[Enemies] Charmed or summoned Chaosbane Lizardman's wall will no longer block player's projectiles.

Removed:

[Closed Rooms] Flying enemies can no longer spawn in small closed rooms. It was too annoying when they were sometimes flying far away even if they were coming back after 3-5 seconds. Waiting even for 5 seconds was breaking the tempo so this had to be removed.

0.5.198 Early Access (2025-08-11)

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.198

Dear Wizards,

It's time for the first content update of the Early Access. New final boss is waiting for you on Nightmare and Hell difficulty levels. We have also improved visuals of spells!

Added:

[Bosses] Added a new final boss on the Nightmare (third) difficulty level.
[Spells] Added 3 new spells.
[Camera / Visibility] Added new camera mode "Player always in the Center" which is a new default camera mode. Thanks to setting this in the accessibility settings, wizard will always be in the center of camera and thus he will be way easier to notice. Your current settings have not been changed to avoid confusion after loading the patch. We strongly recommend to test it for yourself!
[Spells Merging] After failing to merge spells, you now gain extra 5% success chance for each lost spell until your next successful merge. After successfully merging spells, the extra chance is reset.
[QOL] Added short time slow effect after getting hit to make it more clear.

Changed:

[Spells] Now all spells are pixelated so they both look better and have a better performance!
[Rooms] Reduced number of enemies spawning in small closed rooms. There should be now up to 4 enemies spawning in them at once. Before it was possible to spawn up to 7 enemies which was ridiculous and unfair in some locations.
[Enemies] Reduced Necromancer's life steal by 33%
[Meta Progression] Reworked Lich Power upgrade. Instead of regenerating 1 HP every [10 / 9 / ... / 3] seconds, it now regenerates 1 HP every [3 / 3 / 2 / 2 / 1 / 1] seconds, but can regenerate only up to [20% / 22% / 24% / 26% / 28% / 30%] instead of up to 100%. So it will regenerate HP faster, but with lower % max health limit.
[QOL] Renamed "Exit" to "Save & Exit" in the pause menu so all of you will know that the game automatically saves when you exit during a run.

Fixed:

[Enemies] Fixed a bug where Goblin Assassin and Void Worm could get permanently stuck in their reappear animations which was making them forever immortal.

0.5.197 Early Access (2025-07-01)

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.197

Dear Wizards,

In today's patch the main focus was about adding option to change transparency of player's spells and effects in the settings. We heard a lot of complaints about the visibility dropping while having some crazy spells and we hope that it will feel much easier to see what is going on and enemies attacks after lowering the transparency of player's spells and effects.

Added:

[Visibility / Settings] Added option to change transparency of player's spells and effects in the settings.

Changed:

[Visibility] Increased default transparency of player's spells and effects [30% => 40%].
[Visibility] Lowered default transparency of enemy spells and effects [30% => 0%].

Fixed:

[Loading] Fixed a bug where level generation could sometimes stuck at loading enemies.

0.5.196 Early Access (2025-06-20)

Early Access Patch Notes 0.5.196

Dear Wizards,

Today's patch is focused on improving performance of all explosions. They were all reworked and should have much better performance now!

Changed:

[Performance] Reworked all explosions to improve their performance.
[Game Feel] Increased Basic Spell's base knockback by a little bit more than 300% [3.2 => 10.0].
[Enemies / Game Feel] It's now easier to interrupt enemies (and briefly stun them) after dealing them enough damage in a single blow. Each enemy have a separate percentage threshold, but they were lowered by 20-300% based on the enemy.
[Enemies] Bosses now can become elites only starting from the second difficulty level.
[Perks / Artifacts] All perks and artifacts generating currencies over time now generate them 3 seconds faster.
[Spells] Increased explosion range of Arcane Bomb by 50%

Fixed:

[Texts] Damage and healing texts are no longer displayed when damage/healing done is equal to 0.

Removed:

[Visibility] Removed gravity distortion effect(visually) from Gravity Tornado and Gravity Zone spells. They were causing performance issues and with multiple of them spawned it was really difficult to read enemies attacks. These effects had sense only long time ago when there was no spells merging in the game.
[Curses] Removed Curse of the Blind from the possible curses you can randomly gain on difficulty level 2+
