It’s been an amazing year working on Mind Over Magic with you all. So many people sent us thoughtful feedback and detailed bug reports, and we loved seeing Discord, Steam, and Reddit debate the nuances of the game. All of that was critical to understanding how players felt about the game and helped shape where it is going, leading us to now… the end of the Early Access roadmap!
Our updates early this year were about improving or extending parts of the game that were holding back the experience. It was such a great feeling to see more and more players engage as we launched each update.
While we have ongoing improvements to make throughout the game, the Ultimates Update was the start of expanding on the game's foundations. Enter the Nexus brings new places to explore and sets the stage for one more major update on the current roadmap. We did deviate a little from the prior roadmap on Nexus, however.
You may have noticed that Fog Aegis Lines don’t exist in the update and disappeared in this roadmap revision. This was a feature intended to be part of a set of features that depended on the Nexus gameplay going a certain direction. As we started implementing, we determined that wasn’t working gameplay-wise, so we took things in a different direction.
We’ve added some more specifics about what will be in Endgame to the roadmap. These are less about changes in the intent and more that we have better information to explain things now that we’re closer. We did, however, bump this update from January to February. We set an aggressive roadmap for Early Access and it's been an extra challenge for the team to stay on track while also delivering all the extras we got excited about. With each update, our deadlines have gotten a bit tighter, so we are giving ourselves a moment to breathe and time to polish things up for Endgame.
We hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday season… and that you get some time to play some Mind Over Magic!
