Mage's Initiation - Post-Funding Update #32

Himalaya Studios has posted a new progress report in the next post-funding update for Mage's Initiation.

November Progress Report

Salutations, patrons of the arts arcane!  

Al Emmo Digital Download Reward Available

First off the bat, if you pledged at the $50 Spellbinder or $70 Shaman tier, you’re in for a treat! 

We haven’t officially announced the release of Al Emmo Enhanced (v4.0) -- but as we promised, you will be receiving your DRM-Free copies of the game and soundtrack first! Due to the large amount of keys we need to give out, registering an account at IndieGameStand is required. 

The e-mail on your account needs to match the e-mail address you backed with, so we can be sure the keys go to the right people. We’ll be sending out a separate e-mail to all $50 and $70 backers with further instructions.

We need votes on Greenlight to help get the new version of Al Emmo on Steam. You can help us accomplish that by clicking the image below and voting "yes":

From the Frontline

The 16:10 conversion of Mage’s Initiation is coming to an end, which means that we can start turning our attention back to scripting in more of the actual game events...and expanding the world of Iginor, to boot!

JP has been working arduously, making the game world flourish (and fester) with sketches of new locations, such as the bandit camp! He’s also been working regularly with Chris to completely overhaul some of the older background screens which, for various reasons, weren’t really conveying the right visual impact. We’re pleased to say that the new revisions really do improve the atmosphere and make a big difference to the look and feel of the land. 

Who resides at this mysterious forest camp?

 And thanks to our bodacious backers...the Northern Wastelands have opened for business! 

There be Burrowers in dem dar flatlands!

As you read this, we are working on getting this area of the game implemented and our next milestone will involve scripting the combat encounters and game events that take place here. We can’t wait to make these barren wastelands a fully-playable area, and it wouldn’t be in the game without your support. The Burrowers thank you too, for all the tasty humans they’ll now get to feast on!
