Hello, Heads of Magic Schools. Today we’re deploying a fairly significant update, even if you might not notice major changes in the game itself. This update upgrades the Unity engine to a more recent version. We had been using an older version for quite some time, and for security reasons it was now necessary to update it.You should also notice several minor improvements, particularly regarding the interface and performance. For some players, this engine update should provide better stability and improved in-game performance.Thank you to all the players for your support. We know we’re progress

Hello, headmasters and headmistresses of magic schools! :cutedragon: It’s been a long time! Sorry for the long silence. Here’s a small balance and bug-fix update (see the non-exhaustive list at the bottom of this post). This is also a technical update, paving the way for a major expansion coming later this year. This expansion will allow us to deliver the final, definitive version of Spellcaster University. This game has been a labor of love for us, but the time has come to move on to new video game projects. This expansion will let us wrap up the adventure properly. A quick word as well for t

:cutedragon: :cutedragon: :cutedragon: Just a short message to announce the release of a new update for Spellcaster University. On the program, various optimizations and bug fixes, some visual improvements (especially for clouds), some comfort improvements (possibility to save your coats of arms/houses, summary panel of your school's teachers), and finally possibility for a fee to fire your teachers to get a new draw. :fatpegasus: :fatpegasus: :fatpegasus: It has now been roughly 1 year and 9 months since we came out of early access, and about 3 and a half years since Spellcaster University ex

Hello all mages, witches and other demonists, :fatpegasus::fatpegasus::fatpegasus: Today we made available a major new content update. We talked about it in terms of free DLC, but concretely everything is added directly into the game, you don't have to do anything. To benefit from all the new features, it is better to start a new game. If you are in the middle of a campaign, most of the new features will only be available from the next level. The new features do not change the main mechanics, you may have to explore the decks to discover them. The big new features are two new rooms with unique

Hello to all magic school directors! Just a quick announcement about the new free content we've been talking about for a while. We're in the final stages of completion, with the final translations still to be added. The good news is that we can announce a final release date. The bad news is that it's still a bit delayed. The update will be released between April 7 and 14. We thank you for your patience. We're sorry, but the team is very bad at restricting what is reasonable to do, and we always have a little tidbit we want to add, a little improvement, etc... In the meantime, here are a few mo

Halloween update Two days ago we released a special update that introduces a series of small seasonal events spread throughout the year. We've also made some fixes, optimizations, and added some graphical variety to the castle balconies. It's a small update while waiting for the free DLC. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33779302/ece5c54c67fc008d86c28564aec24698805cd39e.png News about the future free DLC On the other hand, we are still working on this free DLC, which should be released in the near future, and this is the opportunity to show you some of the new features to come.

This is the 1.00! The whole team would like to thank all the players who participated in the Spellcaster University early access. The game has evolved a lot in almost two years thanks to you. But this is not the end of the road. We will continue to work on Spellcaster University: in addition to the updates that will fix the inevitable bugs that will be reported to us, we will be releasing a free DLC in autumn that will focus on magic items and student equipment. And we have other ideas for the future. Thanks again to everyone! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33779302/ceca4d4adad20cec9666c8b09b90a7d0c694115

This is a major milestone for the whole team, and we wanted to give you an update on what it means for you, the players. :cutedragon: Version 1.0 offers a wide range of improvements and new features. We'll let you know the details on June 15, but among the big news, get ready to explore dungeons with your best students. :fatpegasus: This does not mean that it will be without balancing issues and small bugs.

Greetings to all magic school directors. Today we have a small announcement to let you know a few things about the immediate future of Spellcaster University. The first thing we wanted to tell you is that the pace of updates is going to decrease significantly, because unless there are major bugs, the next update will be 1.0 and the release of early access. When will this final release take place? It is not yet fixed, but expect something between 2 and 4 months. We will announce a definitive date soon. What does this mean for you, dear magic school directors? new events new languages (a priori

A smaller update, but one that will still allow you to improve your teachers and offers you some new features of UI. But in the meantime, in the shadows, we are working towards the advent of 1.0... Thank you again for your support. We're approaching the end of early access, and the game has come a long way in a year and a half, thanks to your feedback ! New: display of the number of identical cards played at the time of selection (probably the feature we have been asked for most since the beginning of the early access!), will only be accurate on new games. New: end game info panel. New: 5 new
