1.0.1 Prepatch is now LIVE!

Hi everyone!

Another update is live and with it, four new item sets have been added to the game and players are now able to trade items with vendors and other players! This includes through the new item market, where players can list items for purchase by other players through the website. All players have also received an account-wide stash for additional storage and moving items between characters on the same account.

Backers from Student and up also receive an additional stash tab with each tier as a new thank-you for supporting the game's development ❤️

You can find the market here: https://battlemageroyal.com/market.php

But you can also open the market from your stash, the front page, or by using the /market slash command in-game.

With player trading, stashes, vendors, and an item market finally in the game, the in-game economy can begin to take shape. I'm honestly quite proud of what I've achieved with the market and believe it's one of the best systems for listing items to other players in any game, let alone an indie game or solo project!

What's on the horizon

Prepatch 1.0.1 has paved the way for the PvE overhaul, which I have already started working on, but before I'm ready to commit all my time to the PvE overhaul, I have a few things planned for a small in-between update.

What to expect from the next update:

• A spell that does damage without causing any effects
• Spells that fail will do so without informing other plays, and will no longer cause damage or cost a spell action, allowing you to choose a different effect for your spell action or use the new spell without an effect if you wish to just deal damage.
• All spells will become account-wide, not just variants.
• Spells granted by mastering a skill will be locked directly to the skill, so you can no longer have a skill without its spells, or vice versa.
• Spells that require a skill won't become available until a character has mastered the skill.
• Special actions like sex acts and inanimate transformations will be displayed similarly to spells, with more details and choices. The outcome of a transformation will also no longer be random, and you can instead choose the specific outcome you wish.
• More sex toys, either for purchase by Hilda or by transforming other players.
• Means to increase and reduce lust by using sex toys.

In addition, I will also be spending some time getting started on the design of dynamic avatars so the game's artist can begin work on the assets while I work on the PvE overhaul.

I hope you're looking forward to what's to come and I will continue to work hard toward improving the game with new features and exciting content! 💞

Cheers,

Tinon
