A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

MageWorks 2.0 Fall Update
2023-10-13 15:06 UTC · Community Announcements · sp0rx_00
What we accomplished this past summer This past summer was a productive month for MageWorks. New art, level design, ux design, and sound effects have all been integrated. The game has been redesigned to be able to run on standalone VR headsets with a new style and optimizations to keep things running fast and smooth. The characters have been re-painted and in some cases resculpted to have a more unique look where possible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25595420/ac2e53dad4c39e968dcb06712fc41fdc4d5997a2.gif The environments are now being designed with a unique environment per spell in mind.

They Make Great Pets

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25595420/1a167c5e4bfa96b6a358cb108640a7cb05f2dd86.png Players can cast six different types of magic in MageWorks. Beyond the different schools of magic, there are also five different types of magic to cast. A 'Bolt' spell is a single ranged shot. A 'Snare' spell will root an enemy. A melee spell is a short ranged high mana - high damage spell. A shield spell protects players from incoming aggressors and projectiles. Last but not least, players can summon pets! Each spell class has their own pet to summon and reflects the type of environment they came from. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}
New UX Coming to MageWorks
2023-08-01 19:51 UTC · Community Announcements · sp0rx_00
What is the MageWorks? MageWorks is a virtual reality game developed originally in 2016 for PCVR. It is an exploration in game design built around players having a spellbook in one hand and a staff in the other, both of which are motion tracked. The player could craft their own staff and use it in combat while exploring different maps. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25595420/e51976f6fbb90786f27636566b02256a83d8d9a5.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25595420/c651e2027e8c8638f75f757ed119bcdc1ae61493.gif Many lessons were learned while building this project.

MageWorks Updated!
2020-11-27 21:20 UTC · Community Announcements · sp0rx_00
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25595420/c651e2027e8c8638f75f757ed119bcdc1ae61493.gif MageWorks Update v1.1.2 What’s New Tutorial Sequence Removed: The tutorial sequence was buggy and causing issues with entry into the game world, so I have removed it. In lieu of the tutorial sequence, there are large spellbooks floating around the mage quarters and workshop as a guide for spellbooks, staff crafting, and map travel systems. Ink is now used to draw the top of your staff design: The old use for ink was spell empowering. However, I feel that feature was too ambitious given the resources available to me, so, r
MageWorks 1.0.4 is Now Available!

That being said, I was able to integrate a few of the community's requests in this last update. The tutorial is now optional, and players can choose to run through the crafting workshop on their own, or the combat tutorial also on their own. If they don't feel like crafting, players can skip to explore the different worlds and mini-games in M
MageWorks 1.0.0

The narrative involves the player playing the role of a mage that is graduating wizard school, and needs to pay off their wizard student loans, while learning a trade skill in the process. Pokes fun at a topical issue these days. Over time, the project scope expa
MageWorks: An Update to say we're Updating!
2018-02-27 15:15 UTC · Community Announcements · sp0rx_00
http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25595420/20677b29cfca55b21df1ae9fdd0ae7525966ec56.jpg It's been awhile since we've last posted an update, so today we're saying hello and that we're still working! The community has provided a lot of great feedback on forums, at festivals, and other events and we're working hard to include this feedback. The direction of MageWorks has been sort of split in two throughout development. Our crafting system perked the interest of the educational community, so we're currently building a stand-alone application with that content.
