Hello survivors!
This year, we've been writing "We hope you're okay" a lot, but you know, 2020 and all that. But we hope you're okay!
It's our last post of the year, so we thought it would be a good time to reflect on this year, and what our plans are for next year.
What happened in 2020 for The Last Spell?
In 2020, we progressed a lot in the development of the game! We also released the very first playable demo of the game, and in Autumn, we released the official prologue.

Although the Prologue doesn't have all the features of the final game (for example, the meta progression) and will have a lot of balancing and new content, it gave the players an idea of what the gameplay will look like when the game gets released.
The community also grew quite a bit! There are now over 60k people who wishlisted the game, and there are now nearly 2,000 people on our Discord server!
Thanks to your feedback, we were able to improve the game even more, but we still have some work to do to be able to release the game :)
The team also grew here at CCCP! We were very happy to welcome Adrien, Anthony, Eloïse, Chloé, Robin!
We also want to thank Mathieu, Chiara and Rack who helped us a lot for the development of the game this year!
And finally, we want to thank each and everyone of you who keep supporting us in this adventure!
Our plans for 2021
As you might suspect, we can't tell you much info about the release of the game! What we can tell you is that we still need some time to work on the game so we can release it in a state we can be proud of :)
Other than that, as a studio, 2021 will be an important year, and there are some exciting news from us that we can't wait to share with you!
The Last Haven 2.0
For those who missed it, we have a Discord minigame on our Discord server!
Here's the official synopsis:
The Last Haven is a small discord game we made just for fun, to pass time until The Last Spell is released.
This is the end of the world. After decades of war and confusion, the Mages pushed the limits of their magical knowledge just a bit too far. They discovered a new magical energy and unleashed it upon their rivals, obliterating 95% of humankind in the process.
A strange purple Mist is now aggregating everywhere, from which hordes of mutated beings come at night to devour any remaining living thing.
A few Havens are still standing against total eradication, shelters for hardened heroes and lucky sods, fighting every night to protect the last Mages alive. Not out of pity, of course, Mages are now but mere slaves who try to make amends for their sins.
You play the surviving heroes: your mission is to protect the mages until they cast a massive protection spell around the Haven to keep the Mist at bay. This could buy them some time to find a way to save the world. Maybe.
Slay all the monsters attacking the Haven every night before they kill every living thing on Earth.
As you may remember, we released a first version during this summer which our players liked a lot. However, after a few months, some players managed to "finish" the game, and our poor bot couldn't keep up with it anymore.
That's why before going on holidays, Matt reworked it and added a LOT of new features, which led to the release of The Last Haven 2.0!

Happy holidays, and see you next year, survivors!
